Commodore Barry so deserves a victory. He has run well all season but in this three-horse race, they are evenly-matched on ratings. We are trying headgear for the first time and if that helps he should nearly win this.

The Very Thing is a promising type, showing enough at home, but we are still learning about him.The track should suit, but we are a little unsure whether present going conditions will be in his favour today.

Glencassley is a son of Yeats from a good jumping family. He has run well in both his bumpers, finishing fifth in the well-contested Listed race at Newbury last month. We have to think he goes there with a favourite's chance.

Ivilnoble has some nice form to recommend him, but he disappointed last time and again, the message is be careful.

No No Juliet won her second start over fences at Southwell on ground like this, jumping well and seeing out the trip. I'm ignoring her last run at Wetherby when she pulled off a front shoe and took a while to come right again. Sometimes horses can lose shoes in a race and it makes…

He has been in good form at home and frustratingly has missed two opportunities due to abandoned meetings. This step up in trip should suit him well.

Proper Ticket ran well in all her novices in good company. This longer trip will suit but I'm not sure she wants heavy ground. However, she is in such good form that we think she will handle it.

Ex S'Elance will find the track, ground and trip no problem. The main concern is which side of the bed he gets out of!

Mister Watson is a lovely horse and we think he'll handle the ground. This looks a good enough race for a Monday at Hereford but we expect him to run well.

My Old Gold is a grand mare but she was slightly disappointing last time. She's in form at home though and I hope she'll run a good race.

High Noon is back in trip today which will suit him fine. Also the ground will be okay and Emma gets on with him very well. There have been no negatives at home so we go into the race with a great chance.

Hurricane Harvey is made for this race. He is in top form and will go close.

Sevarano has had a good season, running consistently and the two races he’s won have worked out well. I’ve put a visor on him just to get him to travel as he can run lazily in his races. He was a good second last time out when giving 10lb to the winner who followed up…

The ground will probably be on the quick side for Delire D'Estruval. Over this longer trip, though, he should be all right and could be in contention up the home straight.

Whatsupwithyou won well at Ascot but bled last time at Warwick. The plan is to drop him in to settle and hopefully come with a finishing run up the straight.

Broughtons Rhythm is a star. He’s been consistent all career but as he’s one-paced he always finds one or two too good for him. He’s a very good jumper and a lovely honest horse to deal with.

Medallo Del Oro was a mid-80's Flat racer and he has taken immediately to jumping. We are hopeful of a decent performance on his debut.

We know we have a very nice horse in Third Wind, who has only ever been beaten once over hurdles. He is handicapped up to his form, so we have to hope he will have improvement in him as he faces a host of possibly well-handicapped rivals. He may be a gallop short but sometimes…

Simply The Betts is in very good nick at home and won nicely on the track last time. We're hoping he can turn up at the track in the same form and he's going there with a lot of confidence behind him.

The Macon Lugnatic was very impressive when making all over the course last time. We fancy him very strongly for the follow-up.
