Jack channon has brought SPECIAL ACCLAIM along quietly in 3 handicap qualifying races where he has been ridden tenderly , often out wide. this. Handicap debut should bring about much improvement if ridden with more "savvy", he has been keen so I see drop back to 5f as very positive

The Moore's have their yard in good form and CAYMAN DANCER represents the best form on offer. A dual winner on the flat (rated 89 ) he made a pleasing debut at Newbury when making steady headway in latter stages to finish second. Should improve for that and I fancy his chances

A good quality race with lots of potential improvers ,none more so than KEL DU LARGE who has shown a high level of form especially when picking up a bumper at Cheltenham on heavy ground. He looks to be a strong stayer so this step up in distance on soft ground should be ideal

A wide open handicap where you have to bet on potential and I think KILLYCARN is a likely sort. He showed plenty when running in points over in Ireland.he was poor in several runs over hurdles but as is typical with some he upped his game when sent handicapping. He is up to a mark of 106 now but there is potential to improve again and with 5 places available looks worth a look

At the price I think that the 6 time winner LETHAL NYMPH is worth a second look. He won over C&D in November but following 3 runs have not been so good. However the makeup of this small field suggests selection might be able to settle near the front and use finishing kick to hold off challengers

All the top stables are represented here in what could be a very informative race.my eye is drawn to SIMPLE THINGS for one of the smaller stables.selection ran a very encouraging race on debut behind some decent looking animals with the promise of better to come however on return to fairyhouse ST was a bit hyper and raced very keenly early on throwing away any chance of a place. Trainer will likely have worked on that and tries a hood today and if that has the desired effect and selection resumes progress a big run could be on the cards

ENTHUSED looked on the way back to form on last run at lingfield when making good headway from the back to finish third,this is first time dropped in 6th class and he has won off 6lb higher. I wouldn't be surprised if he were ridden much closer to the front this time to optimize his chance

A good race with lots of potential on show. The main 2 are lanesborough and FRENCH SHIP.both are very much improvers who have shown positive attitudes when winning. I think my selection has won better races though. With 5 places on offer he looks an ew steal

ENOLA GAY looks to be in good form judged on latest run when Hardly breaking sweat to win. Although penalised for that run he still remains fairly treated and his tactical speed and versatility trip wise will be a huge asset today

THE ORGANISER won at Brighton in September before running 2 shockers, however last time out was much better to finish fourth so a little bit more improvement would put him right in the mix.

Willie Mullins likely had a few options for this race so I think the fact that Paul Townsend has opted for CAPTAIN CODY is a good tip in itself. Selection is a very consistent sort and has strong form so I would be very disappointed if he wasn't in the shakeup
