Shady McCoy is a shadow of his former self, but his rating is similarly a shadow of its earlier level. Richard Kingscote gets on well with him, so he could easily run a nice race in this grade.

Blue Laureate has ability but I always felt he needed toughening up and those two hurdles runs at the backend of the jumps season will have done him good. He's come back in good form and I hope he can win this.

Arthurian Fable should run a big race. He has been working well in preparation for today and has two solid runs on the track to his  credit as a two-year-old. He was a 100-1 shot when second in a competitive novice race over a mile before running third over this distance behind highly-rated Brentford Hope.…

Kipps is a very nice horse and we think he's better than this. One worry, so far it seems the colts might be a gallop short, but hopefully he'll be fit enough.

Treaty Of Dingle got her head in front eventually in a small race at Wolverhampton but is now 5lb higher and totally exposed. She is in the situation of giving weight to a horse that had the requisite minimum three runs, and now goes up in distance after a gelding operation. The betting shows what…

Sepahi ran a promising first race for us, finishing well over five furlongs just before the shutdown. She's a previous winner over seven furlongs so hopefully will be competitive at today's six furlongs. Each-way chances.

Secratario was in winning form at Chelmsford on his only start for us before the break. That was a mile and a quarter and I would be happier if it was ten furlongs today after the layoff, but then again he won at this longer trip before joining us. If he settles, he could go…

I was delighted with Mr Poy when he made his debut at Newbury last August. He was a strong-finishing second that day and originally I thought the extra furlong today would help, Now I'm worrying that maybe he might be more of a fast six or seven furlong horse. We'll find out.

This 0-75 is the lowest grade Noble Gift has run in for a long time. He has a great record on the course and the sharp 10f on the shorter track will help  him. Good each-way chance at a big price.

The straight mile should suit Sir Busker, although not many were coming from the back there yesterday. Saying that, there should be plenty of pace to aim at, though to my eye he looks a bit on the heavy side. Will probably improve a bit for the run.
