This is a significant drop in grade for Catchim. Carries top weight, but the speed in which its race was run in 3 seconds fast is the best on show today. That's rapid and will make up the 32 lengths defeat because his rivals today are 20 seconds slower than average over today's 2.4 distance. Win Nap, no messing, 9/1.

Director's Cut catches the eye first time out. Its pedigree is full of winners first time. Stand out is Palace Pier. The rival to my selection and favorite is 5/4 and it looks like the stable connections are the reason why it's short. But looking at its pedigree, I don't like it today. I'm sure it gets beat and will be a future prospect next year. 5/1 win nap Director's Cut.

Tropez Power has shown its best surface is the all-weather, but recently seems to have taken to turf with two promising efforts that have been boosted by the handicapper taking some weight off. Today's first-time jockey booking catches the eye. Was 22/1 early doors, now 12/1. That's encouraging. E/W nap profits for beer watching footy tonight. Enjoy.

Green Icon is better drawn today in 1. Didn't have a chance but was only 5 lengths behind finishing 13th. Can make that ground up easily today. The Curragh 3rd is good form also. Top jock booked and with 4 places today from that draw, I'll take my chances at 28/1 EW nap.

Frankel filly. January 2yo. Debut. Why has it taken so long to get her to the racecourse? Will be 3yo in 3 months, hmm. It's 5 months older than its rivals today. That's 5 months more training, surely obviously. Max stake advised. Top trainer-jockey combo. Win nap.

Brotherhood Of Man. The king's runner who is 3 from 7 recently with his breeding outfit. Just like his mum did, he loves the game just as much. They had a quiet spell for obvious reasons over the last year but are on top form again now. 10.3 win nap.

Gypsy Beat has been given time by its top trainer since its underwhelming performance on debut. It's one of the few in this with any experience at all. It's a poor race. Look at the favorite's form, and that puts it in perspective. So at 11/1 and a top trainer on this surface, I'll take my chance. Win nap.

Tai Hang Pegasus runs off 65 today, and improvement is likely and will boost that to 70 plus. The favorite is favorite because of its connections. They have a lot of winners on soft ground. The pedigree isn't as strong as other racehorses that have done this. I'm going against it for that reason. My selection will look good in this field. Win nap 4/1.

Only been raised 6 for its recent victory over 1.1. Today's new trip of 1.2 will be interesting, but better ground is good news. Will go through the race at a good pace. Top jockey will keep this gelding up to its work. 20/1 win nap.

All The Glory is 11/1 on the Racing Post app. 7/2 on here. Maybe something is going on in the shops. I came on here to back it. Shame about the price. Might be a better SP hopefully. Top joc trainer combo. Pedigree favorable for first go at chasing. Win nap.

Cool Molly. Could be a cool bet on debut when all the focus seems to be on the top 3 in the market from so-called top stables. Now, this is the time of year that top stables fail to impress. They're more focused on next season and how much they can get their strings' handicap marks down to fit the start of 2026. Freak results will pop up because of this and the excuses like ground, off feed, dirty blood, lame in box, lost shoe. Trainer could not explain poor form shown on this occasion. 66/1 e/w nap.
