13:15 - Neither Blue Destination nor Gottany O's really impressed when second and third respectively in a juvenile at Doncaster earlier in the month, but repeat efforts probably get them both in the three in this, with only Wayward Glance and to a lesser extent the Brian Ellison-trained pair Lifetime and Red Inca to fear among the hurdling debutants.

13:45 - Grey Cruzene won't need to be much good to defy a mark of 71 on his first start for Tim Vaughan, and the market this morning suggests connections are expecting him to improve. That said, he's pretty much boom or bust and one that appeals as a more solid option in terms of the placepot is top-weight Tooman Lane, who'll appreciate this return to two and a half miles after his back-to-form effort over the minimum trip at Catterick last time.

14:15 - The majority of these are unexposed and in form, making for a really trappy race. Mission Complete promises to be really well suited by this additional distance and is just about the most likely winner, but Code Blue is equally unexposed and probably merits inclusion too.

14:45 - Frank The Slink has a good amount to find even in receipt of weight in this novice chase, but the other three are all plausible winners and as such it's an obvious move to take Cucumber Run, Mac Aeda and Tiptoeaway.

15:15 - This should really only concern Ashbrittle and Into Wain, and the chances are taking either of them ensures safe passage to the next. Given that the latter is likely to feature in fewer placepots, he goes in as a banker in the hope of a 'result'.

15:45 - Hopeful Start is probably the one to beat in this after running as well as he ever has over fences at Taunton last time, but there's no harm in taking last-time winner Kilcommon Pride too, as he's the only one in the field that can really be described as in any way progressive.
