DUKE COSIMO will start a short-priced favourite here and there will be some very long faces if he's beaten. A son of Pivotal out of the high-class Nannina, he started favourite on his debut at Nottingham but looked in need of the experience and will have come on a bundle. Another Claret has shown g...

BRUNTON BLUE took a while to master the front-running Grimley Girl at Fakenham two weeks ago but was well on top at the finish and this much stiffer track should suit. Lucy Wadham's mare can defy a further 8lb rise in the weights and complete her hat-trick. Ruby Crown looks a light of former days w...

Ailsa Craig hasn't won since 2011 but has dropped in the weights accordingly and looks ready to score soon judged on her reappearance at Beverley. Isdaal won over this trip on soft ground last summer but hasn't been seen since June while Kathlatino looks a bit high in the weights after her success ...

THANKS FOR COMING and The Musical Guy appear the two to concentrate on in this with preference for the former, who has his sights lowered after failing to complete at Newbury and Cheltenham. Previous runs here and at Sandown give him the edge over Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge, who has been knocking...

MISSION APPROVED is bred for middle-distances so he's done well to win twice over 7f. He's stepping up in class and trip here but looks the type to go on to better things and earns the verdict. Greeleys Love attempted to make all over 1m2f at Windsor but couldn't quite hold He's A Striker. This sho...

Prince Pippin has come good lately, landing a seller at Wetherby before beating today's rival Bob Lewis by four lengths over track and trip eight days ago. But he may struggle to complete the hat-trick under a penalty, despite AP McCoy taking over the reins. This may be on the sharp side for Southw...

Rod Millman has won this twice in recent years so Master Carpenter has to be greatly respected. A debut winner at Leicester, he stepped up in grade to finish a good third behind Anticipated and Justice Day at Ascot and this extra furlong is in his favour. The winner's trainer, Richard Hannon, is re...

Rossbrin has dropped to a very lenient mark and may have needed last month's run at Huntingdon. Strongbows Legend and Bishophill Jack both showed signs of a revival last time but Rebel Swing is usually worth opposing and has changed stable since finishing third at Carlisle six weeks ago. Smooth Cla...

KANDARI, three times a winner on the Flat in France, has been in winning form over fences this year and will think he's on holiday with this weight. He should be good enough though seven-times Flat winner Arizona John is still running well despite being 9lb higher than his last winning mark. The ve...
