The Bull McCabe has had a winter break and is now ready for his summer campaign. This looks a tough call and he will improve for the run. He is not really one to trust but hopefully place chances on this comeback run.

We like Maksud and I think he might be the type for nice handicaps later on. He's a buy out of Shadwell and was with John Gosden last year. I like Golden Horn and am looking forward to this first run. 

We run two old timers struggling with form and Bandit D'Ainay has been offering less promise of the pair. Our two could be first and second or fourth and fifth. It's one of those.

Roxyfet has been running better than his sliding handicap mark suggests. He ran a promising race at Leicester but when he went to Sedgefield last time they had to miss half the fences owing to the low sun. There should be no such problem and on a course and distance over which he's won before,…

Merry Berry enjoyed a couple of very easy wins early last summer and returns after a break in an interesting race for military amateur riders. The wonder is how the Alan King horse gets so much weight from her!

Handicapped off his modest hurdles form, Largy Nights didn't make much of an impact on chase debut either. He is bred to be a decent jumper and hopefully the first-time cheek-pieces might produce some improvement.

Everyone saw just how unlucky Party Business was at Cheltenham, stopped dead twice but still determined enough to run on for a closing fifth. My worry today is whether the experience at the flights has unnerved him - his schooling since has been fine - while his price is most unappealing. Hopefully he will win…

The Resdev Way was running well on the flat before his outing in a hurdle at Newcastle when he patently didn't stay. Becky has a great record on him and together they are our best bet of the day.

Great Raffles came home strongly to win in the last stride at Wetherby. He has been raised only 2lb for that and today's extra distance should play to his strengths. Big chance.

Bonne Vitesse won impressively on debut in a juvenile event at Wetherby and revived with a better effort after disappointing at Carlisle. She looks the main opposition to the favourite.

Not What It Seems has plenty of experience over hurdles but he might not enjoy this soft ground. We would like to win a race with him over hurdles before he goes chasing and he might not be too far away here.

If you could put aside the blunder which ended Eclair On Line's chance at Wincanton last time when still in with a chance he should go close today. He's been in good form since then. 

Malakhana has plenty of experience over hurdles now and she took advantage of the opportunity presented to her at Kempton last time. That means she carries a double penalty and while she should have every chance, that could just prove a little too much. Place chances still though.

This is a lovely race for Pull Again Green who impressed on stable debut and ran better than the form suggests when fourth to the smart Hillcrest at Cheltenham. Maximum confdence.

Op It didn't make any obvious improvement from first run to second but his wide draw at Kempton wasn't a help in that respect. He's in the middle of the gate this evening and we're looking for him to progress on what he's shown so far.

Ami Desbois has been hard to get right this year but is in good form now. He will appreciate the drop down to a hunter chase and is worth each-way support.

I'm convinced Howzat Hiris wil stay. While I would have preferred the ground to have stayed as at declaration time rather than today's softened surface, I fancy her to finish in the first four at a big price.

Dis Donc started off on a very tough mark on his Irish form and his performances for us have shown that first impression was correct. He's down a long way now and while the outsider of this quartet we are hopeful of an improved effort today.

Court Dreaming has been very in-and-out lately. We will be putting the cheek-pieces back on in the hope that will make him competitive.
