Shuwari is in good form and goes to Newmarket with an excellent chance. I've nothing to compare her with though and would have liked to have run her once more after Sandown two months ago, but that's life. Very hopeful.

Beccara Rose and Shahbaz run against each other and at home there is very little between them. Beccara Rose will love the track and will roll forward from her wide draw.

Global Skies is a nice horse, albeit a bit gassy over 7f at Yarmouth, so I'm hoping dropping back to 6f and the faster pace will help him relax a bit better and produce a nice finishing effort. He sets a decent standard if running his race so if there's no world-beater in the line-up…

African Spirit is a lovely, big, scopey 2yo bred to be a smart 6-7 furlong horse. He has been castrated and that has been the making of him. He goes nicely and while he will improve for this first day at school, he shouldn't disgrace himself.

Ectocross has been running well and put in one of his best performances over track and trip earlier in the year on very soft ground. Today's conditions will suit him better and no surprise to see him involved.

Mc Loven makes his stable debut here but looks to have plenty of gate speed so this track should suit him. He's a speedy type who is sure to find his races and we will learn more about him from today.

After some good placed efforts last season, Sea The Clouds took a while to get back in form this summer but followed a close second at Worcester early in August with a battling win there at the end of the month. Up 4lb for that he needs to improve off a career-high mark but the…

I Still Have Faith only had a piece of work in winning the Legends race at Doncaster last week and he seems to have come out it very well. The easing ground will suit him now switching to an amateurs' race and he shouldn't be far away again. This will probably be his last run…

Gozo is in good form and has done plenty of schooling. He should have improved for his run at Wolverhampton which was needed after a setback following his previous outing at Sandown. This should be quite straightforward although he does have a way of compicating matters.

Mintana never got involved at Chelmsford last time but a bump at the start didn't help. She ran a better race than it looked on her last run over this CD when not beaten far and denied a run more than once. Each-way hopes.

Grand Duchess Olga ran a nice race to be 2nd over the CD last time. This was an improved performance and the form has been working out well. She has come out of the race in good shape so hopefully, will be thereabouts today.

Teraabb is a slow burner but has plenty of ability and should be well suited by the straight 7f today. The ground looks like it will be beautiful and I expect him to take another step forward.

Wynter Wildes doesn't know how to run a bad race and is two from two with today's jockey. The ground and course are perfect for her and she can get back on track today.

Risk And Roll ran some solid races earlier this year and can go well fresh. If the ground doesn't go too soft he should be thereabouts.

I Still Have Faith gets in the Leger Legends race receiving the 3yo allowance and he should enjoy the ground and the way the race is likely to pan out. We think he has always wanted a stiff mile but we have been stretching him and teaching him to go long to prepare for his…

I expected Really Darn Hot to step up markedly on her debut at Goodwood and she looked all over a winner at Wolverhampton but came out second-best in a  sustained duel to the line. Hopefully, she can get that elusive first success here.

Redhot Whisper is a really nice 2yo. We have always thought he wanted soft ground but had to run him at Leicester(good to firm)  to bring him along. He came out of Leicester in good form and didn't have a hard race that day due to greenness. He has a Group 1 entry in the…

Muy Muy Guapo is still a maiden and has been gelded since his last start. He has plenty of ability and ran well at this track during the summer under similar conditions. There should be more to come from him and there's no reason why he wouldn't be involved here if all goes well.
