Celestial Orbit has been off since winning the Star Stakes at Sandown last July so she will improve for the run. I'm hoping she can make the frame and she will appreciate this morning's rain.

Can't Beat History has won his last four completed outings but has been off since last August. This small field might counteract the 7lb he was raised for the last win. Hopeful.

Audacious Annie won on bumper debut at Wetherby but then finished lame next time in Listed company. After we gave her a good time to mature she switched to hurdling this season and following two 3rd places, the latter of which has worked out very well, she won nicely on her latest start. She faces…

Iskar d'Airy has made a decent return this season after 20 months off the track. A winner two runs back, he failed to land the odds at Hereford but this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get back in form.

Luna Effect has had a break since running 2nd over 1m4f at Lingfield in January. He usually runs in the leading group so dropping back to 1m2f should not be an issue.

Expressionless will improve for the run when he goes further and on softer ground.

Toby Tops will go close if the race - only five runners - dosn't become too tactical. He's in great form and is the one to beat.

Jack Sparrow Grey's form over hurdles has been nothing to write home about. Maybe fences, over which he makes his debut today, will be the making of him.

He's A Latchico had a year off before last month's comeback at Newbury. He would have finished a litte nearer bar some last interference and could be in the money here today.

Sangiovese won a hurdle race early last year and has been closer since switching to fences. Worth a second look.

Jack Sparrow Grey's form over hurdles has been nothing to write home about. Maybe fences, over which he makes his debut today, will be the making of him.

He's A Latchico had a year off before last month's comeback at Newbury. He would have finished a litte nearer bar some last interference and could be in the money here today.

Captain Attridge ran a shocker last time at Ludlow. He did win around here last year and if back in that kind of form, he could well make the frame.

Zarathos is in great form. He should win. That's it, plain and simple.

Nazuki had two runs last autumn, both over this CD and won very well on the 2nd of them after a promising 2nd on debut. She's quite a small filly to be carrying all that weight but is fit and well and the one to beat, although I'm quite wary of the Hughes runner.

Liberated Lad ran well at Doncaster dropping back to a mile in a big field of amateurs. Back up to 1m6f here, the worry is the likely lack of pace in the small field may count against him.

Jack N Jones is by Jack Hobbs out of an unraced daughter of 151-rated Grade 1 winner United. This filly bolted up on her point-to-point debut at Ballycahane. She has had a few niggles so we've been patient with her and she makes a belated Rules debut here. She goes well at home so shouldn't…

This is Patrol's Derby. We've been waiting all winter for the race and its £22k overall prize money and I wouldn't swop him. The Michael Bell horse has to be a big threat after two easy wins from a very low mark and the Andrew Balding top-weight could be a 110 horse rather than a…

Herkeios ran a cracker at Newcastle last week. It's a debut on turf for him but there's no reason why he won't handle it. He should go well again.

Spanish Mane always needs a few runs to get her up to speed each season. We cannot see her being competitive.
