14:20 - Cosmic Wonder
He made his hurdling debut at Downpatrick a couple of weeks ago and ran a good race to finish third behind Heaney. Our horses usually come on for their first run over obstacles and we're hoping that'll be the case for him today. Tony McCoy was available and so we've booked him to take the ride. I don't think the drop to two and a half mile will be a problem and the good ground is what the horse wants, so we're hoping for a big run from him.

15:25 - Russian War
He ran a good race on his return to chasing at Hexham last month and he's been in good form at home since. He'll appreciate the better ground and on ratings he's entitled to be in the frame but it looks like we all have Paul Nicholls' horse (Polisky) to beat. Hopefully he'll go close.

17:10 - Raajih
He got off the mark at Newton Abbot last month and ran well under a penalty the next day at Worcester. He's running off a mark eight pounds higher than he won off but he gets in near the bottom of the handicap this afternoon and Timmy Murphy takes the mount. Like the others, he's travelling in search of better ground and he could go close.

17:40 - Onedin Line
He's a well-bred sort (out of Juddmonte International winner One So Wonderful) and works very well at home. We thought he would run a big race in a point to point recently and he did go well for a long way but the three-mile trip probably stretched him too far. He's back to two miles for his track debut and Tony McCoy is on board. We're hoping for a good run from him and we'll know more about him afterwards.
