Plenty of runners but FAUSTINA PIUS is the obvious form pick. She's been running against decent opposition and though a bit disappointing when last seen in October her earlier efforts would be good enough. Our Lady Carmel had some fair form in bumpers and will have come on for her recent reappearan...

Emulating, He's A Striker and Jan de Heem all won their latest start, the latter pair scoring over this trip. None of the trio can be discounted, though the first two on the card are conceding 6lb to their rivals. Hazzaat steps up in distance again following his sixth at Haydock and is now tried in...

Squeeze My Brain and Three Choirs are not without a chance on their seasonal debuts but MAGIQUE will have benefited from her recent run and is preferred. Jeremy Noseda's filly wasn't beaten far when fourth at Kempton and can confirm superiority with Mandy The Nag in the process of winning this. Swe...

Following the market might prove the best option in this low-grade contest. Sulki Rose had shown virtually nothing before beaten a head by Carpet Elegance at Down Royal. A repeat would probably be good enough but whether that will be forthcoming is another matter. Roman Numeral scored at Cork in Ma...

Brick Rising has only been raised a couple of pounds for winning over this trip at Windsor and shouldn't be far away again. Nateeja was beaten less than two lengths at Warwick last time, just ahead of Burma Days, and Alshan Fajer has been placed in his last two starts at Kempton though, like Knight...

Number One London never threatened despite finishing third at Chester on his first attempt at today's distance. He did have Maraweh well behind, however, and should figure again. Excellent Result was a big disappointment on his return at Newbury and, although his yard is in better form now, the God...

BALLY LONGFORD has been brought along steadily by the champion trainer and there was plenty to like about his bumper success at Downpatrick. A former point-to-pointer, he'll appreciate tackling hurdles and can make a winning debut. Celerity Rules won a Navan bumper in September but has run poorly s...

SPICE FAIR didn't fair badly in a hot contest won by Sun Central over course and distance earlier this month. Now back on a winning mark, Mark Usher's chestnut can come out on top in this lower grade with Body Language looking too high in the weights at present. Achalas disappointed at Windsor last...

Dark Emerald returned a 12/1 winner on his reappearance at Yarmouth and attempts this longer trip for the first time. THEODORE GERICAULT makes more appeal as he had no problem with today's distance at Pontefract when overcoming trouble in-running and ending up a cosy winner. A hat-trick looks on th...
