Claire Hitch’s mare Jukebox Annie won a novice race over this C&D in November 2024. She ran well when sixth here last November and gets in here off a four-pound lower mark of 81, minus Jack Stenhouse’s seven-pound claim.

Paul Nicholls is having a quiet season by his very high standards, but his Him Malaya, who finished fourth to Celtic Art and American Sniper over this C&D four weeks ago in the race he won the previous year, can give him a winner this afternoon. The seven-year-old was beaten just under five lengths there and would have been a lot closer if he had jumped the last better. Today he is better off in the weights and can win this under his trainer's daughter Olive, who is off her five-pound claim.

Now trained by Debra Hamer, I Am Spider Man won two handicap hurdles at Sligo in 2024 while still an inmate of the Charles Byrne yard. The six-year-old showed signs of a return to form when finishing about ten lengths behind the winner, when sixth in a Taunton handicap nine days ago. The handicapper knocked a couple of lbs off his handicap mark for that run, leaving him two more lbs below his last winning mark. With four places being paid, he has to be a sound each-way bet here.

Darryll Holland's Saved Lizzie remains a maiden after 21 starts, but she did go close a couple of times in the summer and ran well here over seven furlongs last time, where she got no luck in running, finding herself short of room in the final furlong. She steps back up to a mile here, and with a bit more luck on her side she could finally get off the mark.

15 of the John Jenkins-trained Sir Rodneyredblood's 16 wins have come on an artificial surface, the last of those coming at Chelmsford last February off a mark of 57. He gets in here off a career-low mark of 53. Although he is not as good as he once was, he comes here on the back of a good run at Kempton where he finished fifth to Magna over six furlongs last month, when three of the first four home were three-year-olds. He has a great chance here from the plum draw in stall one.

The Seamus Mullins-trained Western Soldier won on similar ground to this over today’s C&D in November. In his latest run in an Amateur Jockeys’ race here at the beginning of last month, he was allowed to run too freely early on and had nothing left at the finish. Young Callum Pritchard, who takes off his three lb claim here, is unlikely to make the same mistake.

Antony Brittain's Rogue De Vega's last win came over this C&D off a thirteen-pound higher mark in November 2024. The six-year-old has been well backed in his last three races: two at Newcastle and the previous one at Southwell. Today could be the day his supporters get their money back.

David & Nicola Barron's C&D winner Cargin Bhui goes well fresh, and has a win and a second-place finish on his first start back in the past two years on the all-weather after breaks. The five-year-old spent the summer and autumn largely out of form on grass, and as a result he arrives here off a mark of just 63, which is sixteen lbs lower than when he last appeared on the all-weather, finishing fourth in a handicap two grades higher than this over this C&D in April last year. This is a very poor Class 6 handicap and he can take it comfortably.

Archie Watson's Me Tarzan made a successful stable debut over this distance at Lingfield two weeks ago following his move from the James Fanshawe yard. He was slowly away that day and, coming out of the widest draw, still found plenty under pressure to give young Harry Vigors his first winner. Vigors once again takes off his seven-pound claim here, and the pair can follow up today.

The Stuart Williams-trained Nemov was making his stable debut following his move from the Clive Cox yard when finishing seventh at Chelmsford over the minimum trip a month ago. The five-year-old was probably in need of that run, having been off for 418 days. He should be better for it. Moving back up to his best trip of six furlongs, I am hopeful that he can overcome his high draw here and get placed at least.

Brian Ellison loves having winners here at his local track, and his dual C&D winner Callianassa can provide another today. The five-year-old finished third here on her return from 121 days off 12 days ago, taking her form figures over a mile at Newcastle to 224113. She gets in here off the same mark of 82 and can win this.

Mike Sowersby's gelding East Eagle opened his account over this sort of trip when scoring at Southwell in April. After some lesser efforts, he signalled he was on the way back when sticking on well up Wetherby’s run-in at the end of October. That run came over a two-mile, five-furlong trip. The extra four furlongs of today’s trip will suit him much more.

Hopefully they will get their money back here.

The six-year-old has won his last two races at Sedgefield and Market Rasen and can complete the hat-trick here. He has gone up nine lbs for those successes, but that is partially counterbalanced by Beau Morgan's five lb claim. I think he has a great chance this afternoon.

He followed that with a good run over today's six-furlong trip at the same venue twelve days ago, where he did not get a clear run and had to be switched in the final furlong, finishing about a length behind in third. He is dropped in grade here and has a great chance.

Jamie Snowden's horses are in a fine vein of form at the moment, as demonstrated by his 22% strike rate in the last two weeks. He can have another winner here with Tiptoptim, who has been sent off as favourite, or joint favourite, in each of his four starts under rules. On his hurdles debut over two miles at Uttoxeter, where he finished second, he looked as though he was crying out for a step up in trip. He got just that next time at Ludlow, where he duly won by seven lengths. Today he steps up to Grade One company for the first time, and at 28/1 is a great each-way bet.

Today she steps up to Listed company for the first time, and I think she is a good each-way bet.

The Welsh Grand National has been Joe Tizzard's Rock My Way's target for some time.

He is a good jumper and a strong stayer, which is normally what is required to win a Welsh National. On top of that, the ground today is not as bad as it usually is at Chepstow at this time of year, which will suit him.
