This is a tough race in which Teqani starts his handicap career against horses with whom he had form with last season. He's in great form and going well after his wind-op, so should go close.

Right Destination has come back in great form. He was unlucky to fall at the last at Wincanton otherwise he might have given the winner a race. We expect him to go close and make the frame today.

It took Jamacho two years to get everything right and he did emphatically last time in what was his Gold Cup. He was raised 10lb for that course and distance win and I would hesitate to be tempted at odds-on to back him for a repeat performance.

Oscar Rose makes her debut over fences and has been jumping well in schooling sessions. She is not well in here based on hurdles ratings, but it's a good place to start.

I can't get any handle on Geranium. She's just as likely to win by three lengths as come home feeling sorry for herself after a disappointing effort. The former Geranium could easily win.

I thought Mancini's jockey tried to make ground at the wrong time at Ascot, going very wide. He looks to have an outstanding chance tonight and will love the uphill finish.

Craster has had his issues and in that context his comeback run at Kempton was creditable. He weakened late on that day but with the run behind him should last out much better up the final hill.

We thought a lot of No Regrets, so in that regard he's been disappointing so far. He definitely has loads of ability and starting off this low mark after his modest runs, could go well. After tonight it should be a case of onwards and upwards.

This looks a tight little handicap. El Presente started last season off well when fourth at Huntingdon and then unseated when fancied at Wincanton. You can put a line through his last run  as the ground was far too soft. Today will be ideal and he must have a great chance.

Lungarno Palace is finally back on his favoured ground. He is in great form and I'm confident he will be in the shake-up.

Millie Of Mayo is at the right end of the handicap and is super fit. Her form is uninspiring but she's bred to stay and needs to start showing something now.

Grageelah Girl is also on her right ground at last and I think she should be fine over the trip. Ought to run well and has each-way claims.

Ultimate Getaway won nicely on stable debut at Southwell and even with his penalty shouldn't be beaten here. Olly Murphy's runner looks a possible danger but doesn't have the experience of our horse.

It's very difficult to keep fully-exposed fillies like Treaty Of Dingle going at top form for weeks at a time. She's right at the top of her handicap mark and will probably need a break after today. She seems well, though, and has a small each-way chance.

I think Furqaan has the older horses covered in this handicap, but you can never be quite so sure about the three-year-olds. She should go well.

Pearl Beach was given plenty to do last time at Leicester and never quite got to the leaders until too late. I'm afraid Sir Mark is again the one to beat, so all we can do is have Pearl Beach handy and hope his horse doesn't show as much improvement as seemed likely when he…

This race looks wide open. Mon Palois has not run over fences since he had a horrid fall at Wetherby but he has been jumping well at home. He deserves to win this and I don't think he will be far away from doing so.

Rubytwo is looking very well in advance of today's comeback run. Obviously we have to worry about the favourite as Olly Murphy's horses are going so well but he can't win with all of them! Rubytwo gets 11lb (plus Danny's 3lb) from Ginistrelli and has much more experience. She should enjoy these mini-fences and we…

Reshoun put in a decent run at Newmarket, staying on at the end of that race over 1m6f. A first-time visor might bring about the required small improvement to get him over the line in front.

We had high hopes about Cosmic Princess, who is from a successful Meon Valley Stud family, and she ran well on her only two-year-old start. She hasn't been overly impressive at home so I'm hoping that the sight of a racecourse might spark her interest.
