Mary, Mary quite contrary. We've fancied her many times, but she has disappointed. Better when 4th last time and Sean Bowen might well bring out that latent ability she shows us at home.

Woodstock City has yet to get his act fully together since we bought him from the Christopher Head stable in France. He has been running in smart company for the most part and now, down to 0-75 company, can go very close for the experienced Andrew Breslin in this apprentices' handicap.

Invincible Song carried the promise of her third run in maidens when 2nd at Goodwood into her initial nursery. She was a rallying 4th, beaten barely a length at Chepstow and now with first-time blinkers to help her, this looks a nice spot.

Lunatick is Lunatick. He has yet to win a race this year and when he was a close 2nd last time, his jockey reckoned he was only putting in 70 percent. Epsom does suit his type, though, so maybe it will be his day and if anyone can persuade him to do his best, Oisin…

Green Team has been warming to the task with recent runs around Chester. Amenable to an apprentice's riding, he should be the type for the Amateurs' Derby. Hopeful.

Dashinwhitesargent did win a race at Wolverhampton two runs back but last time he hung his chance away. He needs gelding really, but he did run okay at Epsom earlier and if he wants to, he'll go close.

Clever Relation has his share of issues and that's why he's in a seller. His only win so far came on a softish surface, so he shouldn't be worried on that score, but the favourite meets us on much better terms than in a handicap. Fingers crossed.

Piecederesistance is a class dropper that has been in the best form on the gallops for all of this year. Obviously the unpenalised favourite is the one to beat, but there's no guarantee she will replicate her latest winning form.

Sugarloaf Lenny has disappointed the last twice. There has been nothing wrong with his work - he has been going well at home - and is in good nick. I'm taking a claim off today and hope that will make a difference.

Isabella Bee had been running progressively over hurdles before a good debut 2nd over fences. Back to 2m, she can get her head in front here.

She's A Novelty has come back well this year in her two runs following a break after two wins at the end of last season. She is reunited for this amateurs' race with Brodie, who was in the saddle for her latest win at Haydock in September. Hopeful.

Oslo hasn't been the luckiest of horses but he won nicely at Huntingdon in April. Up 8lb now, he would have an each-way chance if things fell for him.

Two in this. Bullion Boss has turned over a new leaf and is running very well. The jockey gets on well with him and can claim a handy 5lb. Hoping for another good run.

Hardy Boy keeps finding new ways to avoid winning. After the last two runner-up spots you would be entitled to think it's his turn, but how many excuses can you find? If he decides to stick his neck out on the line, maybe!

Typical Woman has been taking her time getting back to form after a delayed return. She's on a great mark and could well outrun her odds.

Standbackandlook won over the CD last time but he is 6lb higher in what looks a very competitive 0-65. He is in good nick though and I expect him to run a big race.

Parlando has been chasing the money in Racing League contests and other valuable handicaps. His mark is slowly dropping and off 80 it wouldn't be a shock if this Bahrain February winner suddenly remembered what he's supposed to do and shocked a few in this latest RL challenge.
