Likely favourite Sweet William is sure to go close, but he has never been one I can put faith in. So, at odds-on, I have to take him on. Lazy Griff sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, but this is his first run for 333 days, and the ground is going to be much quicker than ideal. Further may have needed his reappearance at York and is sure to come on for the run. He is suited by fast ground, as he showed in the Melbourne Cup. With conditions to suit, he looks overpriced at around 11/2 and rates a solid each-way bet.

An interesting 2yo sprint with a few promising sorts in here. Napa sets the clear standard on adjusted RPRs and should improve further. The form of his last win has been working out really well, with three winners from four subsequent runners. He is proven on a stiff 5f on fast ground and is well drawn in stall 2. If he gets a clear run, he should take the beating here.

Things have not gone well for The Lost Sock since his win on his last run as a 2yo, but hopefully he should have conditions to suit today. After 40 days off following a couple of issues, he has been working nicely at home. With quick ground to suit his beautiful action, he should have ideal conditions tonight. He is drawn wide but should be able to track the front rank, travelling nicely. With Ray Dawson up for the first time, he is fancied to land his second win. At around 4/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

Likely favourite Flying Ace sets just a modest standard here, and his best form looks to be on much softer ground than he will get here. Military Cross is an ex-Gosden inmate and he recorded RPRs in the 80s three times on the Flat. He was well beaten on stable debut last time but may have needed the run and should come on for it. If he takes to hurdles, he could be too good here and does not have a great level to aim at. In addition, Richie McLernon comes here for the one ride, and he is a very useful 5??"8 for the yard in the past five seasons. At around 2/1, he rates the value bet.

American Sniper is dropped 3 lb for his last run but is only 4-30, which is a worry and needs to be overlooked. Byzantium ran out last time, so has questions to answer. That leaves the Tizzard runner Ellerton. He won on reappearance last time out after a break, so should come on for the run. He is now 2-3 for this stable and should get the race run to suit, where he can sit off what should be a decent pace before picking up late on. At around 7/4, he looks the value bet.

Only three runners, though all have a chance. The one to take the eye is the Hannon-trained Light Dreamer, who makes her handicap debut off what could be a decent mark. She was a close 2nd on debut at Kempton and was struck into next time behind the highly regarded I'm The One at Newbury. She then finished well down the field at Ascot, but that was a slowly run race which may not have suited. She could set her own fractions here in this small field. The stable have few runners and she is their only one here today. At around 7/2, the old adage of the outsider of three could pay dividends here.

Oriental Prince just sets the standard on adjusted RPRs. Switching back to turf from the AW and down 2 lb from his last run, he looks off a winnable mark. He has won eight times, so knows how to get his head in front. He should be able to race prominently against the favoured stands rail. With Mulrennan back on board, he has conditions to suit and rates as the value bet.

Likely favourite Rickety Bridge showed improved form to score on his chasing debut last time and has only gone up by 3 lb. He should come on for the run and is sure to go close if building on that last run. However, at the odds I would prefer to take him on, and the one to catch the eye is the 12-y-o Moroder. He is a springer and enjoys the better ground he will get today. He doesn’t have to lead but will race prominently, and James Best knows him well. He ran much better last time, and with conditions to suit he looks overpriced at around 10/1 and rates as a solid each-way bet.

Likely favourite Alice De Clare got her head in front last time, but that was in a Class 6 and she is now up to a Class 5 and has been raised 9 lb. That may not be enough to stop her, but at odds-on I would prefer to take her on. Pentonville has been a disappointment, having cost £295,000, but all of his races have been slowly run and he now goes handicapping off a basement mark of 66 and wears cheekpieces for the first time. The yard is 3 winners and 2 places from 6 first-time handicappers in the past 2 years, and the step up in trip is also likely to suit. At around 3/1, he rates the value bet.

Classic Encounter drops in class to Class 4 after running in Class 2 and 3 this year. However, he has only won 2 from 16, and with a small field and not a guarantee of much pace, he could be vulnerable at the business end. At the odds, I have to look elsewhere. Desert Shadow has been disappointing and he is 0-9, which is a worry. That said, the stable have been a useful 4-11 this season and he now wears a visor for the first time. While he is not an out-and-out front runner, he should be able to race with what pace there is. If there is little or no pace, the front is where you need to be. At around 10/3, he looks the value bet and rates the Nap of the day.

True Love landed the English version and was impressive in doing so. I didn’t expect her to see the trip out, but clearly she did. Ryan was on the favourite Precise that day and jumps over to today’s favourite. However, Precise was said to have had a far-from-ideal preparation for Newmarket, and Ryan didn’t knock her about in the final furlong once she was beaten. She is clearly better than that, and it would be no surprise to see her turn the tables on True Love today. True Love is drawn 1, so if waited with again today she may be a hostage to fortune in getting a run. Precise rates a sporting Nap of the day.

Likely favourite Riskintheground is best suited by good ground. While the description is "good," the going stick and the continued watering suggest it may not be that good. With that in mind, American Mike looks the value bet at around 5/2. The selection returned to form with a win last time and only has a 3 lb rise for that. He is likely to be better suited to the ground if it is on the easy side, so rates as the value bet.

Kihavah sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and is fancied to get his head back in front. He has been running on the Flat since his last outing over hurdles last October and has been dropped 3 lb since then. The Kemble Brewery won nicely last time, but a 9 lb rise looks harsh. Wise Eagle should also go close if he runs to his best, but at the odds, Kihavah looks the value bet.

Handmedownastar sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and should be hard to beat off a 50-day break. The extra half-furlong should suit, and he will be fine on the ground. Flash Man has doubts about staying the trip, so the likely favourite should be difficult to beat.

Likely favourite Belle Le Grand improved to score last time at Newton Abbot and is sure to give a good account off 7 lb higher. That said, that was a 0-105 handicap and she is up to a 0-125 today, so will find it tougher. My Chiquita ran well on reappearance off a 246-day break and is sure to come on for the run. She is now with local trainer Jimmy Moffatt, and his useful claimer takes 10 lb off, which puts her on a tempting mark. She is likely to go for home some way out and may get the likely favourite on the back foot. At around 9/1, she looks a solid each-way bet.

Not much between the three main contenders, and only 2 lb between them on adjusted RPRs. Saxon Street comes here unbeaten, having won on his reappearance at Epsom. He was niggled along from Tattenham Corner but stayed on well to lead over 1f out and kept on. He should be fine over this longer trip. With little pace in the race, it may not be a true test at the trip. Golden Story was still very green on his reappearance behind Constitution River in the Dee Stakes at Chester. He was niggled along from about 5f out but was staying on nicely through the final furlong. He should also be fine over this trip, so at around 7/2 he rates the value bet.

Loch Cuan sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to land his first win. Stepped up to this trip last time, he was outpaced off a slower pace and was staying on again at the finish. He has been progressive in his three runs and the booking of Sean Bowen is key. The stable has had just two runners in Britain in the past fortnight and they both won. At around 2/1, he looks the value bet and rates the Nap of the day.

Most of these have questions to answer, but St Mawes has less to answer than most. He made a promising reappearance over CD three weeks ago and should come on for the run.

Plenty of runners here, but two stand out on form, with a preference for the Haggas-trained filly Sky Majesty. She finished behind Rosy Affair on reappearance at Newmarket three weeks ago but is fancied to get her revenge today. The ground was quick enough that day, and the easier surface will suit Sky Majesty today. She wears a tongue tie for the first time and may be better drawn than her main market rival, who will likely be making the running down the stands side. She has been nicely backed this morning, and at around 15/8 she looks the one to be on.

She recorded her best RPR over hurdles last time out, so looks to be in good form. She should get a good pace to aim at, and with SDS taking the ride she should get every assistance from the saddle.

Likely favourite Redorange will be all the rage after an unlucky run at York last week. That was just four days ago, so this is a quick turnaround. In addition, he is drawn in stall 1, so if he is waited with as he was last week, then again he is going to be a hostage to fortune (2-13 backs that up). So at around 5/4, I have to take him on. Regal Envoy won this last year and returned to form last time, winning at Bath, and he is off the same mark as last year’s win. He should get a clear run at the pace from stall 8, and with the likely favourite needing luck in running, looks a solid each-way bet at around 6/1 and rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

She then hung left, but that was on quicker ground, and the likely easier surface today should suit. She should also come on for the run and is well drawn in 2, with her two main market rivals being drawn out wide. James Doyle is 1-1 here in the past five years, and she is one of only two rides today. The fourth home at Doncaster has since franked the form, so she looks the one to beat here.

Only one of the past 10 runnings has been won by a horse on reappearance, which is a worry for half of this field. Likely second favourite Sacred Ground was a disappointment on his reappearance and was only just over 1l ahead of Esna. He races keenly, and there is no obvious pace here, which is a concern. Both should come on for the run, and Esna does set the standard on adjusted RPRs. The booking of Ryan Moore is noticeable. Esna may not want the ground too quick, but at around 7/1 he looks a sporting each-way bet to finish in the first two.

Likely favourite Amiloc was nicely progressive last season and has won first time up in each of the last two seasons. However, he has yet to prove that he stays this trip. On reappearance and at such short odds, I have to take him on. Rahiebb was also nicely progressive last season, but he is reportedly lazy at home, so it remains to be seen whether he is fit enough first time out. Further also made good strides last season, and he won on reappearance last season. He was not disgraced in the St Leger before finishing down the field in the Melbourne Cup.

None of these can be ruled out with confidence, but the one to take the eye is the Gosden filly So Regal. She has won both of her outings this year and is progressing nicely. Last time at Ascot, she travelled strongly throughout and, after making headway leaving the back straight, she came through to take it up over 1f out and quickly pulled a couple of lengths clear. She only had to be pushed out and clearly had plenty left. She should be able to travel nicely behind a decent pace again today before being delivered late. Danny Tudhope has 2 wins and 4 seconds from 9 rides for the yard in the past 5 years, so is a significant booking. At around 7/2 and with a couple of runs under her belt this season, she looks the value bet and rates the Nap of the day.

Favourites don’t have a great record in this, and neither does Aidan O’Brien, so I have to pass on Christmas Day. Morshdi showed much improved form on his reappearance, but the form has not really been franked since, with 0-4 to come out of the race. The form of the Appleby yard is still a major concern, so I have to pass both of their runners. While Wise Prince was taken out of the Derby after his reappearance, he also showed much improved form from his first run and he was fresh enough, racing too keenly early on. He should come on for the run, and recent winners of this have not been racing with the pace, so he should get a good pace to aim at here. At around 12/1, he rates a sporting each-way bet.

Diamond Run would have a chance on her best form, though the form of the Appleby yard remains a concern.

Largy Force has two wins and three runner-up places in five runs since joining the Murphy yard. Despite being beaten a head last time, he did improve his RPR, so a 3 lb rise does not look harsh. He sets the standard here, and with the Murphy and Sean Bowen team in good form, especially here at Perth, she should take the beating. She won over the trip last time and will be fine on the likely softer ground. The form of her last win has been franked, with the winner going in again next time. Her two main rivals are 1-22 and 3-28, which is a worry for them, so Largy Force should go in again.

After missing last season, Cool Hoof Luke returns to the scene of his Gimcrack win as a 2yo. His two runs this season have both produced his best RPRs, and he is clearly capable of reaching something like his best. Back on turf, he can come forward again. Drawn 11, Oisin can stick to the centre and, judging by the previous race, could provide the pace. At around 8/1, he looks a solid each-way bet.

William Haggas has won this twice in the past five years, so Klassleader is the obvious starting point. He has only had four runs, and the yard is in very good form. He is suited by the trip and an easier surface, so he has conditions to suit. There should be a decent pace today, so the race should be run to suit. He is a bit short at around 2/1, but with conditions to suit, he is the one to be on and rates the Nap of the day.

Waterford Castle has been progressive in three runs for this yard this season and sets the standard on adjusted RPRs. However, he went down by 1/2 length in his last two runs and the cheekpieces clearly need to wake him up. At around 6/4, I have to take him on. I’m not convinced that this trip is what Sintra wants, especially with the uphill finish here. The one for me is the Burrows-trained Sassiacia, who should come on for his reappearance and should be suited by the step up in trip. He makes his turf debut but is related to turf winners, so should be OK on it. Saffie is 5-18 (plus three seconds) for the yard and, at around 11/4, looks the value bet.

There was little between Valedictory and Bulletin at Newbury on their reappearances, and Bulletin gets a 1 lb pull. With the former at around 5/4 and Bulletin at around 7/1, he has to be the each-way value bet. He is proven at the trip, and the stable is in good form with 29% in the past 14 days. At around 7/1, he looks a solid each-way bet.

Empirical makes his handicap debut after being well beaten on the AW in a slowly run race at Kempton. He gets a fair opening mark, and the yard is a useful 10-56 with first-time handicappers in the past two years. It is also his first run after being gelded, and the yard is a very useful 11-37 with these in the past two years. He is effective at the trip and looks overpriced at around 4/1.

As with the Oaks Trial, the form of the Appleby yard is a worry for the likely favourite Maho Bay. He does not look bred for this trip, and though he has won over it, it was in a slow time. At around 6/4, I have to take him on. The O'Brien yard have been in grand form this week at Chester, and Isaac Newton has promised to show improvement for his reappearance. He should be suited by the step back up in trip, and his action suggests the ground will be fine. At around 4/1, he looks overpriced, rates the value bet, and is the Nap of the day.

Romantic Symphony comes here on a hat-trick after two wins at odds-on, but the form of the Appleby yard is a big worry as their last 22 runners have been beaten. She will be fine at the extra half-furlong but has to be taken on at around 7/4. Aiden sends two over for this and has been in excellent form at Chester this week, but they don’t have a great record in this race. Amora Queen was reportedly quite weak as a 2yo but still managed to win twice. She was probably unsuited by the slow early pace on reappearance and should be suited by the step up in trip. The yard has been in good form with their 3yo fillies this year, and she looks overpriced at around 6/1. Only three of the last nine favourites have obliged, and I can see a repeat this year. She looks a solid each-way bet to finish in the first two.

The Skeltons have a strong hand here and have the heavily backed favourite after an unlucky run at Cheltenham. Harry rides him for the first time and he wears cheekpieces for the first time. He should go close if running to his best, but if held up again he will need a slice of luck to get his run. At the odds I prefer the other Skelton horse, Made U Blush, who went into my notebook after showing a good turn of foot to score two runs back. He probably hit the front too soon last time and was said to have pulled up in front. He is Tristan’s only ride of the day and, at around 10/1, he looks a sporting each-way bet.
