At the price, Rory is worth a small each-way bet. He's notoriously inconsistent but does possess some ability, which he has shown on occasion in the last few months. This is undoubtedly his best trip. He's got a good draw, and Lauren Young claims five pounds. If he were to magically run to his best, he would win, but we can't rely on that.

Alligator Alley was rated as high as 106 in his pomp, so is clearly the class act in this field. Ruth Carr appears to have found the key to him, and he might well run up the hat-trick in this ordinary-looking affair.

Conman John is short enough in what looks a quality race. However, he left a very strong impression when he won here last time. He is a very strong stayer who appears to have a touch of class. I would want to keep him on side when he is in top form.

I can raise queries about all of these, which makes finding the winner difficult. Country Mile has shown a liking for Cheltenham already, having won a hurdle at the track and been placed over fences at the October meeting. Had he not made a mistake at a crucial moment, he might have finished closer or won. Hopefully there will be no mistakes this time.

If Hoe Joly Smoke can travel as well as he did in a longer race here in October, he could go very close. He ran well here last time as well in the Paddy Power over today's trip. He didn't jump as well that day but looks well treated against the horse that finished ahead of him that day. The Skeltons continue in fine form and may claim another big pot.

Spadestep jumped like an old hand on his chasing debut at Aintree last time, only to be run out of it by Jordan's Cross after the last. This looks a weaker race than that last one, and if he jumps as well again he should be good enough to put the opposition to the sword. He led from the off at Aintree, but that won't necessarily be the case here.

Willie Mullins is going to have to send a few more over if he's going to retain the trainers' championship, given the way the Skelton yard has been going. He landed a big one on Saturday in the Tingle Creek and targets the Peterborough Chase on this card. He also sends the good Punchestown-winning mare for this valuable bumper, and she looks good enough to go in again.

Matata has plenty of weight in this handicap, but that's down to the level of form he's shown in the last 18 months. The Twiston-Davies stable had a fantastic day on Saturday at Aintree, so we can be sure his horses are bang in form. I think he might try to go from the front and could get them in trouble with his excellent jumping.

Dan Skelton has a good record in bumpers, and Presley looks a very possible winner on debut for the yard. He's by the Derby winner Harzand, who acted especially well on soft ground. Conditions are likely to suit, so I foresee a good run.

Act of Authority looks capable of winning this competitive handicap hurdle. He has a good strike rate over hurdles, and his standout run came at Cheltenham when second to the hugely progressive Wodhooh. On reflection, that was an impossible task. He warmed up for this at Newbury in a very strong Pertemps qualifier.

This looks a very strong renewal of the Becher Chase where a number have a decent claim. Mr Vango looks a very big danger, but I'm siding with the Warren Greatrex-trained Bill Baxter to bring home the bacon. The selection was very impressive at Punchestown at their festival and had a good prep race for this at Newbury last time. Sam Twiston-Davies takes the ride, and he rides this course particularly well.

Trigg has been ready to run for a while, given he was entered a couple of times lately. He won quite easily at Worcester on debut, and Dan Skelton has employed a seven-pound claimer here to negate the penalty. There doesn't appear to be much to the opposition, and the second favourite's form doesn't scream loudly as being anything special.

I'm prepared to give a shout to In d'Or, who has some very smart runs on his CV. He was previously owned and ridden by David Maxwell, who had his limitations in the saddle. Now we have a very good professional in Jonathan Burke riding, and from a stable that can do little wrong currently, this could be a chance to strike. In d'Or has won after a break previously, so I have no concerns about him being up to winning.

Looking at the betting the two market leaders appear to be closely matched, however on looking at the breeding I strongly favour Get Out Of My Way who is out of a mare who had fair winning form in Ireland. The Skelton runner is out of a mare who was very poor on both her runs, and I would want to see something from that one before risking cash on her.

Private Dancer showed enough in two runs on the flat that he tries hard and has ability. It's highly likely that Dan Skelton will have him ready to rip in his first run for the yard. The opposition doesn't look particularly high calibre, so this must rate a good chance for a win.

The one standout horse on the Ayr card is Upon Tweed, who may be well above average. His sole win in a bumper saw him beat the very promising Conman John, and he won his first hurdle here with a bit to spare. He was a little bit novicey that day but should be better after that experience. He's not a price to get rich on but can win again.

Javert Allen is a bold front-runner who has shown on this track previously that he can dominate from the front. He ran well enough at Aintree on seasonal debut, looking as though he might come on for the run. I can't help feeling that Jane Williams has had this race as his target, so he should be 100% ready for the task.

This is a very tricky-looking renewal of the Rehearsal Chase, and I'm siding with one of the younger guns. Anthony Honeyball has his team in good form and brings Jasmin De Grugy back to the track after his summer break. Although well beaten by Bill Baxter at Punchestown, that was a good run in that Listed Handicap. He showed progression throughout the season, and I can't see any reason why that won't continue.

Looking at their race at Cheltenham, The Changing Man is better in here than Myretown, although the winner was hugely impressive that day. The Changing Man has the benefit of an outing already this season, and the stable simply couldn't be in better form. Whether he is good enough to beat his old adversary is open to question, but he is a very appealing each-way price that can provide a return.

If form and eyes can be believed and trusted, Indemnity must have a great chance here. He won three races on the bounce and was cruising along, turning in at Ascot last time, looking like a winner. However, Alexei, who looks a proper horse, was going even better and picked Indemnity off. If he runs anywhere close to that form, he will take all the beating.

This is a truly fascinating renewal of the Fighting Fifth with a genuine top-notch performer in Constitution Hill in the line-up against two very promising youngsters in opposition. The way Constitution Hill guessed at hurdles at Cheltenham and Aintree in the spring makes me very wary of backing him. Willie Mullins must have a very high opinion of Anzadam to pitch him in here, a tried-and-tested Champion Hurdle trial. He does have a bit to find, but his victory at Naas was visually most impressive.

This is not a particularly inspiring race, but if Jedd O'Keeffe has Inappropriate back to his best, he looks a big price to run a good race.

This looks like quite a tidy handicap with one or two possible improvers in the field. I particularly like Telepathique, who was very progressive last season. I think she did absolutely nothing wrong on her seasonal debut in a very solid-looking Listed chase at Carlisle. The winner that day, Paggane, won another Listed contest in very good fashion at Market Rasen on Wednesday. Telepathique may have just needed the run at Carlisle and will be completely straight for this.

There are two potentially top class chasing mares in this Beginners Chase. Jade De Grugy looks classy from the Mullins yard but I favour The Big Westerner, who comes from the in form stable of Henry De Bromhead. She looks destined to go to the top in this discipline. Stamina looks like her strong suit, and that should be brought into play on the likely soft ground here.

Horaces Pearl was a late starter at the game, hence the small number of times he's raced despite being a seven-year-old. Patience certainly appeared to pay off as he is a multiple winner already. The Listed race he was third in at Perth back in April was possibly the classiest race ever run at the track. His mark looks very fair to me, and Tom Broughton's five-pound claim can only aid the cause.

This is a fascinating race which may be won by the Scottish-trained raider, Jet To Vegas. His Perth run doesn't read particularly well, but I think he was beaten by quite a nice prospect from the Olly Murphy yard. Jet To Vegas probably wasn't fully wound up that day; however, the yard is in top form now. The opposition is made up of three who are running after a lengthy break and have little or no experience over fences.

This is a very ordinary handicap with most of these out of form. Jim Goldie's horses have been running well this week, and the inconsistent Annandale might decide that he quite fancies the challenge this time.

This handicap is a class above the one he won here a fortnight ago, but if he's still in the form he was in that day he can follow up. He had dropped down the ratings prior to winning with a little bit in hand last time, and the jockey's claim negates the rise applied for winning that race. He doesn't have the ideal draw this time, however that's the only slight worry I have.

Here's another example of how British racing has great ideas and then spoils them. The veteran chases are very popular, down entirely to the old boys who race in them. However, there are now too many of them, which has led to smaller fields and less competitive races. That said, I think Torn And Frayed looks to have a great shout, given the form of his last two runs. He's only been upped four pounds since his Aintree win, and that might not be enough to stop him following up.
