Jessica Rabbit had plenty of placed form but only a single win under Graeme's banner. We were hoping for a better showing than fourth on her first run for us seven months ago but now freshened after the winter break, this could be her day.

When a horse like Myboymax puts up a sequence of second places you always have to wonder about their resolution but I believe it's just that he's been unlucky running up against decent opponents. I am trying first-time cheek-pieces today and on a track where he's run well before that could signal another good run.…

Holkham Bay is our first juvenile to run and I must say he goes okay. He meets more experienced rivals of course but I think he may be worth a small each way on this debut.

Astral Beat made all in good style to win at Newcastle but then at Salisbury he seemed to sulk when not getting all his own way. His widest draw is not ideal but if he gets away in front there must be the chance that retiurning to all-weather will be to his liking. Chance but…

Densworth has always had ability but when he got to the track last year everything went to pot. He hung badly in the race, the jockey said he made a noise and afterwards we found a number of issues. We've done his wind and he seems to be going well so I'm expecting a much…

High Wells won over two miles on the Kempton all-weather for Graeme and ran his best race yet since switching to us when finishing runner-up over the trip at Nottingham. He looks to hold a good each-way chance in an open affair.

We don't know much about Zeelandia except that he stayed this trip as his breeding suggests he should when trained in France where he won just once in 15 tries. He's been in good form at home and should be competitive in this lady amateurs' handicap.

Haliphon was unlucky to be touched off in the last stride for a valuable prize on Derby Day at Epsom. If this race were run tomorrow he would be 5lb higher, hence the urgency to run here. The extra two furlongs should be no problem as long as the race hasn't come too quickly.

Reelemin did well last year winning a couple of nurseries, the second on soft ground at Pontefract. He would prefer the ground to be softer here today but we are hoping for a positive return to action.

Becky The Boo has been quite disappointing and not really finishing off her races. Our big hope is that she might actually need this longer trip but it is a risky proposition.

Aviewtosea has been disappointing all year but as a result is down to a workable mark. He jumps fences well so hopefully in this small field he can get back to form.

After her promising run here last time, Stay Alert had the choice of this Listed race, which is often weakly-contested due to its proximity to Royal Ascot, or the  Ribblesdale. This could end up being the tougher race. If she maintains the progress then she will have her chance, but dangers lurk!

Fellowship hasn't shown us much so far and first time in a handicap he is probably best watched even from his very low mark.

We'll be monitoring the ground before Frankelio's race to see whether it's safe for him. We seem to catch his races when the soft ground disappears. If he does run he is very capable of out-performing his odds from the foot of this handicap.

Fast Tuttle, by Fast Company, showed his inexperience on debut at Leicester two weeks ago. We will be looking for improvement on this second outing.

Lyrical Lady made a promising comeback when second at Nottingham last month. She gets plenty of weight from these fillies and there might not be much between her and Delta Bay at the finish - especially if the other filly runs a more measured race today.

Fiftyshadesresdev ran a blinder when second in a big field, finishing strongly over seven furlongs at York. He reverts to a mile on a track where he has run well a couple of times in the past. The 5lb rise will not be a help but he will not mind the ground even if it…

The Rutland Rebel has enjoyed his most significant break over the winter/spring for some years. He's back fresh and well  and we've given him plenty of work. He likes the track but the worry is that although they haven't altered the going description, if the rain has got into the surface it will not be…
