Just Typical has yet to win but the penny is belatedly dropping. At the bottom of a modest field, this could be her chance.

El Rio is capable but he has had his problems with an irregular heartbeat. A summer break seems to have done him the world of good and we are hoping to turn his form around, something we will not know until he runs. Hoping for a good effort to be able to build on.

I thought Dalmally would win last time, but he was outstayed by two Dylan Cunha horses, the 2nd of which runs here. That horse disappointed the next time and if Dalmally is on his game he should go very close.

Hard As Nails is true to her name, consistent and genuine. She will appreciate today's ground and holds an each-way chance.

Simiyaan finally looked as though he was getting his act together with a much-improved run at Chelmsford. A repetition of that would probably be good enough.

We tried Rickety Gate over 3m2f at Perth last time but he didn't stay so he's back at around his preferred trip over which he is a CD winner. That was a while ago, but he seems well and is a decent price. Each-way chances.

Four classy hurdlers meet over fences with their marks only 4lb apart and any one of them could win. Our rivals, especially Skelton and Twiston-Davies, are in good form, but if Rare Edition can jump the fences well on debut he has the ability to go close. Fingers crossed.

06/10/24 - 1st 5/2 Original quote: "Intrepide Sud was useful in his two bumpers last season, then ran well 2nd time over hurdles when 3rd at Exeter in April. Each-way chances in a wide-open maiden hurdle."

Hippocratic Oath starts from a mark of 60 after his three runs. Yet to get involved, we would be delighted if he finishes in the money.

Jayarebe's form in France has stood up well. Economics proved too strong for him at the finish there and then won the Irish Champion Stakes. This is a great spot for our very good 3yo, although I see there has been plenty of money for Economics' stablemate My Prospero.

As with many German-bred horses, Kaylan has plenty of staying blood in his pedigree. We are looking forward to this bumper debut.

Harry's Hope is in good order. She jumps well and has a good chance of being in the three.

Ikigai Star ran well when 2nd last time at Worcester. He has a handy weight and Davis Bass offers stronger handling. Can go well.

Parramount enjoys his runs on the flat and always goes nicely on AW. This qualifier for a series is competitive for the grade, but he should be bang there at the finish.

Green Team is a winner waiting to happen. He's been 3rd the last three and will not mind the ground. Big chance.

These fillies' maidens seem to be getting harder where ordinarily you would expect the reverse. She is qualified for the valuable GB bonuses so we are persevering in those races. Each-way chance and worth us taking the gamble.

We were disappointed when I'm Ravenous failed to land the odds at Worcester after his layoff, but after leading he made a mistake at the wrong time and had nothing left for the closing stages. We've found another suitable maiden hurdle opportunity for him and hopefully this time he will take it.

Surrey Charm came back after a long break with a solid 3rd of 5 at Ffos Las. While she looks pretty exposed, her ability to cope with the heavy ground that she encountered there, puts her in with a shout.
