The Daily Sports is a fully digital sports news source. Yet we have a big, dedicated team of professional sports wariters, who attend the biggest live sports events in US and around the world.
Oscar Rose has put up a string of good performances over hurdles but finds it hard to win (only one in 17!). She has come down a little in the ratings and should be competitive as ever today.
What's Occurring starts his chase career in a decent novice handicap. He has chasers in his family and if he gets back to his early hurdles form of last season he wouldn't be without a chance.
I think Arthurian Legend is a huge price, possibly because he started 100-1 for his last run over a mile of this track. That day he came from a long way back to chase home a highly-regarded Godolphin filly. Martin (Dwyer) said if he'd handled the Dip he might even had won and as he…
The Vollan is The Vollan and he has been running well all summer. Top weight won't be easy but he always runs his race and his odds are quite tempting.
I would have preferred a better draw for Warning Light but she remains in good form and since her back-to-back wins, there's been little wrong with her two subsequent placed efforts over further. Now back in trip again she can go close.
Dragon Bones is a nicely-bred filly who has shown up well at home. She's likely to outrun her 66-1 odds but will probably find one or two of these too good.
Treaty of Dingle did very well to get into a closing third after a troubled run at Wolverhampton. Off the same mark tonight, she can reverse form with Grace Plunkett, runner-up there, and get her head in front for the first time.
Portway Flyer has been off for a very long time and will obviously be sharper for this first outing for three and a half years. He was a more than useful performer in his prime and I think the handicapper has been fair enough with him for this comeback.
Shinobi is a Flat-bred gelding picked up cheaply from Qatar Racing in the spring. He starts his career in this junior bumper and works well at home. I think he should be involved.
Sod's Law, after initially travelling very moderately at Nottingham, suddenly took off and James Doyle got to the front sooner than he expected no doubt. If Danny Tudhope can keep his nerve and hold on to him until the last furlong, he may go one better. Likes both the ground and the track.
Fun Mac is always to be respected in long-distance races and although he rarely wins, he should be tough enough in this company. Ground and trip no problem.
Legal Eyes has never looked as well as does now and I have to think that will result in improved form on the racecourse. His last run back in April was solid enough but I'm confident he'll do better today. Great each-way chance.
Black Kettle is a soft-ground lover, which he never really encountered last season. He is going well at home but we think he probably needs the run today.
Cardigan Bay is a tough, reliable mare and she defied a double penalty when winning a novice race at Warwick last time. We are hoping she can pick up some black type with a run in the frame today.

At his best when making the running, Solar Impulse has seemed unhappy the last twice racing in the pack. If Dave Crosse can get him jumping and in a rhythm at the front he could bounce back to form.
Heavenly Promise has had two solid runs for us, the first over fences and then in a conditionals' race over hurdles. This is an excellent opportunity under owner's son Connor to get her head in front back over fences.
