14:15 - Stand To Reason

Gatewood looked good at York and I think he may take plenty of beating off just a 5lb higher mark here. Compare that rise to my mount Stand To Reason, who went up the same amount after being beaten at Chester last time. Granted, we were only just touched off by a short head, and pulled 13 lengths clear of the third, but it was very testing ground there and I think that rise is harsh. But even though he has done his winning on soft, I actually think better ground may suit my horse and I can see him running a good race.

14:50 - Dance and Dance

The last time I rode this horse we finished second in the Hunt Cup, and I should have got the race in the stewards room. I don't think that is being too controversial. On a related point, I think stewards should have more flexibility when assessing whether interference has been deliberate or accidental in stewards enquiries and action taken accordingly. It appears that you have to be beaten a neck or under to have any chance of getting a race, but if it is deliberate interference then I think they should run the risk of being thrown out. Anyway, Dance And Dance had earlier shown he handles this track well when winning a handicap on this card off a mark of 97 last season. Things didn't work out for him in Dubai but I have ridden him at home and he is working real nice. This is a competitive little race but I fancy my chances a bit. I rode Marcret to win over an extended 1m2f in the soft at Chester, and he is a very generous horse, but a combination of stepping back in trip and on better ground could be his undoing. Worthadd won a Group 3 in Germany on his first start for his new stable a fortnight ago and he rates a big danger on his Lockinge second to Canford Cliffs. And you can't rule out Side Glance either, as he ran better at Kempton last time. But, like I said, I think we will go close, especially getting 3lb from the top two.

15:25 - Dunn'o

Was an impressive winner of the Whitsun at Sandown at this time last year and the handicapper looks to have been fairly kind to him as he can race off a 1lb lower mark here just five starts later. And, although there wasn't much obvious promise from him at Ripon on his first start for a new stable, hopefully that would have put him right for this. But this will take plenty of winning.

16:05 - Kissed: See separate blog.

16:50 - Justineo

I was beaten at 4-9 on him at Yarmouth last season, but Saigon won the race so it wasn't as bad as it looked at the time. Went on to win at Newmarket and finish fourth in the Gimcrack. Has a bit to find with some of these on official marks but you cannot rule out any William Haggas horse out at the moment, as the horses are in great form. And this race is full of some disappointing horses. But I can't be confident myself.

17:25 - Sholaan

This looks a hottish handicap but I have to be hopeful given the profile of the horse and the way the stable is going. This is a clearly a lot more competitive a race than at Wolverhampton last time (I believe he was gelded over the winter) but he won well there and I suppose the handicapper could have hit him with more than a 4lb rise. Being drawn in 13 is a negative though.
