Standbackandlook seemed not to handle Epsom last time. I think he'll stay 1m5f and we're applying first-time cheek-pieces. Good each-way chance.

Nasneen has a string of seventh and then sixth (last four) times in a row, all on all-weather. The 3yo is on bottom-weight switched to turf and we hope Billy Loughnane can find the key.

Ruff Justice ran a brilliant race to win at Yarmouth, finding a tremendous finishing burst. She has continued to please us since and may well surprise horses from big stables that have been more obviously programmed to start in a nursery.

I've been waiting for safe ground for No Regrets so I suppose soft going all over would count as safe. He has won on a similar surface and is in good form, so at around 9/1, he looks a good each-way bet.

Zhang Fei is another from off the flat, albeit less talented than United Front. His hurdles mark is still favourable compared with the flat rating of 70 and Fern's claim helps a bit more.

Catuaba looks to have found the better division for his style of racing. The main dangers both like to come from further back and if he can get an easy lead, he should go close.

United Front won six of 50 races on the flat ending with an AW rating of 83. He was too free on jumps debut at Huntingdon but we've been working on that since. If he relaxes he should go close.

Catuaba looks to have found the better division for his style of racing. The main dangers both like to come from further back and if he can get an easy lead, he should go close.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to find the timing of this Newmarket meeting rather unnecessary. Mistral Star has been in terrific form at home and this Listed race looks a good opportunity.

Castel Gandolfo always runs well in these big-field, high-value handicaps and especially goes well here. He has been 2nd in this the last twice and despite the odds should not be far away at the finish.

It should be nice ground at Haydock for Story Horse. I'm optimistic that he will get the 1m6f and if he does he would have a nice each-way shout.

On first sight, race number 16 of 2024 for Mokkaatil produced a below-par run, but his 8th at Nottingham disguised two spots of interference and he was beaten less than four lengths. At the foot of the weights for number 17, he could go very close with a clear run.

Hackney Diamonds ran on very well for 3rd last time and was always going to do better going a little further. This is a nice spot for her and I'm confident she can run into the money.

Billams Legacy has become so frustrating with seven 2nd places in a row. Johnny Burke takes over and we hope he can provide the key to enable her first win over hurdles - her one success coming in a bumper almost three and a half years ago.

Green Team last ran over 2m at Newcastle, continuing his sequence of poor performances. He has a much smaller chance of getting back to form than our other runner Haliphon.

Dancing In Paris won well at York's Dante meeting and didn't disgrace himself when 2nd under his 6lb higher mark at Goodwood. He looks the one they have to beat.

Aalto looked like finally living up to expectations at Haydock last week but after leading inside the last furlong, was edged out near the line. Losses may only be lent!

Atlantic Gamble has done us proud, winning three in a row. Looking at the market, he's obviously the one to beat and the hope is he can manage his big weight although Brandon's 5lb helps in that regard.
