Home-bred mare Betty's Daisy goes nicely. She's a half-sister to two winning mares we trained so we're optimistic that she can make it three winners for Bridget Henley, if not today, not too far down the line.

Panama Black has been running very consistently and just got caught late trying the long 9f at Wolverhampton last time. The flat mile here should be ideal and from a good draw he might take more pegging back if he shows his customary free-running style again.

Foxlight has a smart Godolphin flat-race pedigree and he put it to good use when winning a bumper on debut in impressive style at Lingfield. He should not be phased by this shorter trip and if there are any holes in the Gosden horse, Foxlight could be the one to expose them.

I think Imperial Jade should go all right. She had been running well enough to be favourite last time at Wincanton but ran a shocker. This track and better ground (we hope!) could make a difference.

Whatsupwithyou has been coming down the weights as his form seems to be recovering a shade. Elliott has got to know him the last twice and the 10lb claim will be helpful. Place chances at least.

Buckna has been expensive to follow, but has still run to a solid level of form. He might have it to do against today's favourite who looked very promising at Huntingdon.

Militaire showed much more 2nd time out when 4th to today's favourite Salt Rock at Doncaster. He's allowed 8lb for just over six lengths and that could easily bring them together.

We've had this race in mind for a while for Milajess and she ran very well when 2nd at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Josh can take off 8lb in this conditionals race and she must have an excellent chance.

Famous Bridge has run his usual good races building up to today and I'm trying first-time cheek-pieces to see if they will give him that little bit of impetus. He was cantering when making a mistake and unseating Sean six from home in the race 12 months ago. I know it was a long way…

Samuel Spade needs to step up on recent performances and has a big weight here. He is down in class though and I can see his running into a place at a big price.

In a word, Les's Jersey Royal has been uninspiring. We've tried to give him his best chance, finding an ordinary conditionals' race in which Callum claims 6lb, but it's hard to be enthusiastic.

That'll Do Moss won impressively on hurdles debut at Ayr. It's a very tight race with all the mares having won either last time out or the time before, but we're happy with our runner and think she should not be the outsider as the betting suggests. Hopeful.

Upon Tweed looks a very nice horse although this is probably a decent bumper. I expect him to run a nice race, but he'll still be a good prospect if he comes up short today.

New Order won nicely at Warwick two runs back but raced much too freely last time at Newbury. We're dropping him back in trip to try to combat that problem with the help of a first-time hood so he can get into a better rhythm. If he does he can go close.

We've not seen the best of Buxted Too for a while, but he is 1lb lower than his last winning mark on turf at Windsor in the summer. All seven of his other successes have been on AW including this CD. Ready to get back in the swim? Hope so.

I hope the first-time blinkers will have the effect of helping Sound And Fury to travel, something he hasn't been doing, but then fighting to the line, too little too late. If they work he could go close but he is a lairy bugger.

Bank On Frank has been beaten a fair way in both starts over hurdles since joining us. The first two in the market look likely to dominate and we'd be happy if he could finish 3rd.

Maharajah's Express has been beaten narrowly in all three starts since joining us, each time in sprints around here over the past five weeks. David Probert was on him the last twice and rider and horse will need to be on their toes to overcome the poor draw.

Evoluir is probably our best chance today. He has been a little unlucky the last twice at Newcastle, getting crowded as often happens late on there. He is holding his form well and should go close.
