Typical Woman won a couple in the summer but is higher in the handicap now and could do with a little help from the official.

Swindon Village was a good 2nd on his only start so far over the Punchestown point-to-point course in April. He's a very nice young horse and I think he'll like the ground. I'm hoping he will go well.

Jig's Forge had three runs in Irish points for Ross O'Sullivan, winning easily on his final start. He brings plenty of experience to his first run for the stable and I'm hopeful he can make an immediate impact at this level.

Sound And Fury returns after a year off. He won his handicap hurdle over 2m4f off 113 and starts chasing only 4lb higher. He jumps well and hopefully, will enjoy this testing three-mile trip.

Beauzon won and was then 3rd in two races over the CD over the past week. He should have every chance running off 5lb less than last time.

Sign Again won his point but was very green first time out in his bumper. It's a small field and he must have a lead. If he does he could run okay.

Quantock Hills ran very well on UK debut, when although he was fizzy and gassy, he finished a good second at Wetherby. Hopefully, the first-time hood will help him relax this time and although he has a 7lb penalty for his win in France, he should take all the beating with experience on his side.

Abuffalosoldier surprised me with how well he went first time back, running an extremely good 2nd at Exeter. He has run okay here in the past, albeit over hurdles, but he has a nice weight and will be ridden prominently. Great chance over a trip he should love.

John Barbiour joined us after running a promising 3rd on bumper debut for previous connections. He shapes nicely and we're looking for a decent first run.

Ajp Kingdom ran a good 2nd behind King Turgeon at Chepstow and that horse followed up in the Grand Sefton at Aintree a week ago. He stands out as the likeliest winner.

Densworth probably needed the comeback run, his first over fences, last time. If he could reproduce his best hurdles form he would be tough to beat.

Beauzon was running from a mark in the 70's early in the year after a winnng spell. Back after a four-month spring break, he has shown nothing like the same form and is down to a rating of 54. It's probably a case of when rather than if he strikes form. Hopefully, it will be…

Although there are only four runners in this Graduation Chase, Nells Son looks to be up against it. He has a few pounds to find but he usually runs well fresh and Carlisle is only up the road. It's a good starting point for his season so I hope he'll run well.

De Kingpin is a talented horse that was 2nd in his first bumper on joining us last season. This is a very good race for his hurdles debut and he will probably have it all to do.

El Rio won well at Huntingdon and a repeat of that performance would put him in here with a great chance. Ground and track should suit him.

Highland Haven is a daughter of Kayf Tara. She has been showing promise at home and we hope she can make an impact in what looks a strong mares' bumper.
