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.

It's a long way to travel up there for Unit of Assessment, but we're going for the ground. It's the right level of race for him and I feel he has to be there or thereabouts.

Storm Eleanor has been difficult to train and it's possible I've been getting her trip wrong, so we're dropping her back today. If I'm right about that then 20-1 looks terrific value for an each-way bet.

Royal Village is trying to repeat last year's victory in this valuable race but is off a 12lb higher mark. He's remained in good form ever since but will probably need the ground to continue to dry out to achieve the follow-up.

Song of the Sky has been running well and likes soft ground. She's in good form and while I won't say she's going to win, I think she'll be in the first three.

Rouge Vif has grown up a lot and is in really good form at home. His jumping for a novice has been above average so we are looking forward to running him. It is a competitive race but due to his hurdles mark he has to run in a race of this grade.

Happygolucky finished second in his only Irish point. We like him and expect a bold showing. He should go close

Lochinver ran well last time. If he can build on that he shouldn't be far away.

Louse Talk had useful form over hurdles two seasons ago but has struggled so far over fences. This is a competitive race but hopefully he'll run well.

Jersey Bean was the top-rated of these over hurdles but it’s a case of look and learn today. He was over the top when he ran at Perth so you can put a line through that. He might just be needing the run a little bit so I wouldn’t be going in gung-ho on him.

Sirobbie is in good form after his break following  his three wins in the summer all over just short of three miles at Uttoxeter. He returns to action over the same course and distance in a competitive race but he obviously loves the track. Fingers are crossed that he can maintain his unbeaten record there…

As he showed when winning easily at Kempton, Progressive Rating is a decent two-year-old. He remains in good form and will be hard to beat.

Dominus has had a good season winning a couple and holding his form well. He's run only once previously on all-weather, finishing second to a smart filly around here in the spring. With Oisin in the saddle he should be hard to beat.

Young Bull won a heavy ground bumper at Chepstow last season. We are looking forward to seeing this debut run over hurdles.

Burnage Boy has been very in and out on the Flat but has shown some ability. We feel he will possibly stay the trip hurdling. He has schooled very well and is working nicely so if he stays he could run a big race.

Maisie Moo had a busy first half of the year so we gave her a break. She has still been growing so that was probably a wise decision. She should run a nice race from this mark back over seven furlongs.

Cage of Fear seems to be in much better form than last season. He looks well and loves jumping. I rate this horse highly and in the absence of the probable favourite I expect him to make a serious challenge. Definite chance.

This former Yorkshire-based point-to-point winner has been pleasing us at home. Two miles will probably be too short for him but will be a good learning point. Looking at the race we'd be happy if he finished third or fourth but wouldn't be surprised if he did better than that.
