Mokaatil took off in the last two furlongs at Epsom last week, replicating his win in last year's Dash there on Derby Day. He is penalised 4lb (up 6lb in the new ratings) and should be just as happy on this track. He has a very inexperienced rider, but Mokaatil knows enough about racing to…

Ami Desbois enjoyed the opportunity of running in his first hunter chase having struggled in later seasons with his mark of 145. He meets a potential improver in the promising  Nicholls horse who is half his age but he has a big edge on experience and could upset the favourite.

We're running The Resdev Way back quickly after his last run at Wolverhampton but he's 10lb lower on turf and yet has plenty of winning form, stays the trip and goes on the ground.  He has been running consistently and Paula has won on him three times in the past.

It would be unwise to think Estrela Star will improve on his encouraging first run back as he doesn't carry a pick on him and is naturally very fit. It was a good effort  though and I think he is the better of our two runners while Sam favours Yorktown. We'll be happy if either…

My three-year-olds have been needing their first run of the season and that could be the case with Gatecrasher Girl. She might still need the experience too but she goes okay and is probably worth a small each-way investment at a price.

Split The Bill ran well on debut at Catterick despite being very green. His chance will depend mainly on the level of the two Irish newcomers, but I reckon Split The Bill can go close.

Encashment did manage one second place on the flat with Mick Appleby but otherwise showed very little. It has been the same story over jumps for us but from a mark of 73, the only way is up - hopefully anyway!

I thought Dublin Four was the likely winner of his last race at Newbury as he was still travelling well when unseating at the fourth-last fence. With a clear round today he should gain compensation.

Hardy Boy won very nicely at Huntingdon on Monday and goes unpenalised as that was a conditional jockeys' race. He seems in great form and surely will be hard to beat today.

Stowaway Jess goes really well but is quite a keen filly so hopefully Liam can keep her relaxed. If she shows on the track what she does at home she would have each-way hopes.

Herewegohoney did well to overturn a hot favourite over this trip at Doncaster last time. The penalty for that success makes this a tough task but hopefully she will go well again on a track that should suit her.

Miss Milano has had one one or two niggles that have interrupted her progress. Her form is decent enough and I'm sure she'll win going forward - maybe even today, but then she will need to beat Everyday Champagne to do so!

Geryville did well to claw back a three-length deficit from the last fence at Newcastle. The second horse in that three-horse race ran well for a long way in the Scottish National and the well-beaten third won the Topham. Geryville is working like a good horse and now only 2lb higher, should go very well.

This is a big step up in trip for Slipway but he stayed on very well when winning over three miles at Southwell earlier in the season and might well stay this far. A feasible each-way shot in a wide-open handicap.

City Runner has done well in both starts on all-weather this year and is definitely improving. There are one or two obvious dangers but I think he has a solid each-way chance off bottom-weight.
