The 6-year-old mare is not easy to catch right, but an eight-month break might give her an extra spark on her return tonight. She has some solid stats at this track; she’s a previous C/D winner. She has posted plenty of good RPR ratings in her career so far, and anywhere near her best would put her in the mix off her current low mark.

Palace are in good form, but with them being safe from the drop they might be more focused on the Euro semi-final that will be coming up. Plus, they are not the best in the attacking department. West Ham have picked up some good points in recent games, and a win would be huge for them in the battle at the bottom. I feel the away side will have the extra energy needed to win this game.

Just five career starts for this 3yo filly, four solid runs in defeat. She's best on her one AW start, which came at this track, and she was a close 2nd of 13 that day in a novice stakes, splitting two rivals now rated 86 and 90. Improvement possible after six months off the track and running off an attractive-looking 65 handicap mark.

The third in that race now has a 109 rating. The winner from that race won a handicap by 10L on Saturday off a 109 rating. An opening handicap mark of 98 gives the selection a chance today.

This lightly raced 7-year-old mare was below par when last seen, but a four-month break could see her in a better light today. The last two runners sent out by the yard have won. She was a maiden hurdle winner last year, followed by two respectable handicap runs, and her RPR ratings do stand out in this weak-looking company.

They’ll be sharper than Liverpool and should have an extra spring in their step with this being a derby game.

The 7yo has progressed nicely in this campaign, form 1201. The form of his narrow defeat three starts back has been boosted. He looked good when winning a £57K Grade 3 handicap when last seen. He jumped and travelled well, was asked to quicken after the second last, and was never in trouble when sprinting through the line ??" that form has been boosted since. He is only slightly higher in the weights now and looks like there’s plenty left in the tank. An attractive mark and a recent two-month break should have him set for a big run in this £112K Scottish Grand National Chase.

The 4yo has 3 wins from 11. He improved again in the second half of last year, going close in a high-quality, 20-runner £103K handicap on his final start. He has the benefit of a return run and was not beaten far in the £77K Lincoln Handicap last month, coming from a little too far back. He now has Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle for the £36K handicap.

The 4-year-old can take his form to another level this year. He won two quality Group 2 races last year from his four starts, one of those on his return, so there should be no problem returning for this Group 3 contest after a five-month break.

Excuses for this 6yo last time out, which was the top 16f race, the Champion Hurdle at the Festival. Now back in handicap company. He was an impressive winner of a 15-runner, £87K handicap hurdle on his previous start, winning by a huge 15L. He is top weight in this contest by a good margin, but his RPR ratings do suggest he can cope with it. His class can win the day.

Just one career run for the 3yo colt. He was a cosy 2L winner of a novice stakes last Oct, with another 5L back to third, and earned a big RPR rating. Improvement over the winter is very possible and he could be a big player in this Group 3 contest. He does have an entry for the English and Irish Derby.

He was beaten by just 3L when last seen by two runners rated 144 and 159. He could have another big run in him, and an eleven-week break will have freshened him up.

The 5yo is the unexposed runner in this handicap. He was 5th of 15 and 3rd of 8 in his last two starts (maiden/novice races), not landing a blow but not given a hard time, racing in good company. This handicap debut would have been the target, and he should be ready and tuned up after a three-month break. Decent opening mark, and he should be more comfortable racing against these low-rated rivals.

The 3yo has 2 wins from 5. He was a very close 4th of 14 on his final start last year (Oct) in a valuable sales race, losing places in the last 100 yards. He can return stronger after a six-month winter break and a slighly shorter trip should suit him. He was giving 3 lb to the runner-up in that sales race, who has boosted the form since and is rated 98 now. A handicap mark of 90 for the selection should give him a chance.
