Abuffalosoldier ran a highly-promising first race when third to a subsequent repeat winner in a bumper at Uttoxeter. He has continued to impress at home since then and we think he can make it to the winner's enclosure today.

Roccowithlove returns from a long layoff. He was last seen winning at Newbury almost two years ago and seems to have retained his ability. He could come on for today's outing but we are just looking forward to seeing him back on track.

This huge horse would prefer softer ground but having said that he did win on a similar surface to this at Wetherby a couple of seasons ago. Not many runners and a competitive race for Two For Gold who has been a prolific winner over the years. He is ready for this comeback and should…

Mucho Mas wasn't quite right on his hurdles debut at Aintree but he seems much more like himself now. I think he should go close today.

Ask Dillon has been uncharacteristically out of sorts so far this season but as yet the handicapper has been reluctant to let him off the leash. He has run well in races like this around here more than once in the past and a revival would not be a total shock.

Byzantine Empire was in great form in the summer, winning twice at Southwell. He has had a wind-op since and returns off only 1lb higher. Dangerous at this level if he copes with the different demands of today's track.

Crystal Glory is a nice horse and after his debut win over hurdles at Hexham this is the next step in his education. Olly Murphy's horse is carryng plenty of confidence apparently but he could be in for a bit of an education too. He'll need to be pretty useful to beat Crystal Glory.

This is first time in a handicap for Glimpse Of Gala and she still has plenty to learn. She looks pogressive and if she can run on into a place in this big field I'll be happy.

Mister Watson ran a couple of very good races in decent company last season without quite managing to get his head in front. He was below that form on his recent return but now off 4lb lower could go close in a wide-open handicap hurdle.

Phillipa Sue had good placed form in all four Irish bumper runs and was then in the process of running a decent race on only start for Graeme when unseating her rider over hurdles at Doncaster last March. She has had a wind-op since then and we are hoping for a decent debut for the…

Lady Of The Night is a very consistant mare who would prefer a more galloping track.This looks competitive but she certainly has place chances.

Cilaos Glace was a strong-finishing second over shorter last time and on ground faster than ideal. He was out of his comfort zone there but should be very much in it today with the going coming in his favour. Big chance on a track he likes.

Reset Button showed his first semblance of form when fifth denied a run around here and then improved when a close third last time at Newcastle. Unfortunately he has a horrible draw but if he can get a clear run he could go very close again.

Universal Folly won well last time and seems to be on the upgrade. It's a boys' race so you're somewhat in the lap of the gods, but if Conor can steer clear of trouble his 10lb claim against fellow conditionals will be a big help. Hopeful of the follow-up.

Raddle And Hum won over hurdles in the summer but I'm confident she will be a better chaser. This is her debut and one or two lower down are obviously going to be dangerous, but she is bred for the job as three-parts sister to Aye Right who won the Rehearsal Chase the other day.…

For a long time Lady Jane P looked the likely winer of her comeback run at Worcester, but she was just outstayed near the line, finishing a creditable second. This is a better race but she is progressive and must have place chances.

It's a tough call for First Flow over this trip and on this better ground. He is in fine form at home and I would be delighted to see him run well and get the trip as it would open up new options. Place chances.

King Of The South won very nicely at Newcastle and was clearly very happy to be back on all-weather after his warm-up at Doncaster. Up 3lb for that and on a sharper track but similar surface, he should not be inconvenienced as he was a good second there over shorter late last year. Obvious chance…

This has been the target for Snow Leopardess ever since her impressive comeback win at Bangor. She jumps well but you never know how they will react to the Grand National fences. I'm hopeful and optimistic of her going very close and nervously looking forward to it.

Grand Du Nord is a nice horse who won his bumper well last term. He needed his run here the other day but will enjoy the easier ground and the step up in trip. Non-runners mean there are only two places so each-way betting is less of an option, but he should make the frame.
