At these weights, Leader holds Toi on their last run. But although lacking a run this season, Elliott's yard, in such fine form, is not a concern. He's yet to finish outside the first two in 5 races, winning three, including two in this grade.

Ben Pauling's stable is in fantastic form and Bad won on debut at Kempton and was not disgraced when fifth in the Paddy Power. Jumping brilliantly, the trio found him out, tiring late on. This is an arguably easier contest and dropping back to two miles two furlongs definitely suits. I envisage him making the running. I envisaged 7/2 at one point; bigger, I feel we're getting value.

Built on bumper debut fourth when winning easily at Worcester on seasonal return. Finished fourth and second since. Ground will suit. Stepping up in trip should bring more improvement. I envisaged around 7/1; at 11/1 looks decent each-way value. With favourite shouldering 12st and Buzz upped ten pounds on the back of his last win.

No Ordinary Joe was pretty decent for Nicky Henderson but has rather lost his way thereafter. He's not handicapped out of this. He's been ridden, I feel, strangely this season. At the age of nine he may not be as keen on the game any more. I can see his odds drifting and my gut tells me there's a big race in him. Cannot let him go unbacked. Worth a small interest each way.

The selection has won at the trip, unlike the favorite. I envisaged around 2/1. Amazed to see 7/2 being offered as of 3:15, a day before.

I'm amazed to see 1/8 for AJ. It should be 1/50. This is a complete mismatch. In all areas AJ is supreme and Jake Paul has met nothing like this to date. I'm really afraid he's going to get seriously hurt. AJ by way of KO.

AJ is a class apart from Jake Paul, who has fought opponents of nothing like this calibre in his previous fights. AJ, a heavyweight champion, is mixing it in top-class company. He has better footwork, technical skill, stronger reach and punch, and weighs 2 stone more than Jake Paul. This should be over in three rounds.

Probably the race of the day. Intriguing field ??" several last-time-out winners who impressed. But the well-bred Bass Hunter looked that little bit special on debut in a Newbury bumper on 6th November (form been franked). He made every yard that afternoon and pulled clear from fully four furlongs out, and coasted home by 8 lengths despite being heavily eased in the final 100 yards.

Had 3 wins this term. Won at Wolverhampton two starts back and was not disgraced when 5/9 at Lingfield two weeks later, staying on nicely, beaten just over one and a half lengths. Only been around here thrice in his career to date, resulting in seventh on his first run, then winning and a third. He's running in the same class today as the previous two runs, and I envisaged 4/1. I'm a bit surprised to see 11/2 with 4 places up for grabs.

MISTER SKY BLUES has won once and been placed four times in 17 career starts. His style of running makes him somewhat a hostage to fortune, none more so than over course and distance here seven days ago when he was 7/2 favourite and whatever avenue Warren Fentiman took was met with a shut door. He's double the price tonight at 8/1, and, granted better luck is impossible, keep him out of the first four.

This course-and-distance winner has a decent chance of landing the hat-trick this afternoon. In view of the fact he was not suited by the way the race was run last time, he did very well to get up in the circumstances. I envisaged this Craig Lister runner being a couple of points shorter. There should be a stronger pace aimed at here. Difficult to see him out of the first four.

Trais Fluors is on a very good mark at present. The return when third after a layoff can see her figure in a race that won't take much winning. He's in the twilight of his career at the ripe old age of 11 but will have the race run to suit. Alex Jary takes off three pounds and, worth noting, holds an engagement here later in the week. He's also a previous course and distance winner

For all intents and purposes, this looks like a match on paper. Preference is for the Karl Burke runner INSPIRED. Big things were anticipated on debut over course and distance back in January, going off at 4/7. He's still an entire and is beautifully bred. He should be winning better races than this in the coming months.

Has gelded his form well lately. He ran out an easy winner at Wolverhampton last time. He's got to improve again to get involved here, but nicely drawn, and the race will be run to suit (hopefully). He's getting significant weight off the more fancied runners. He looks the main one of the two trainer's runners in the race. I don't envisage him out of the places. Added bonus: he's 3 points bigger than I envisaged when pricing up the race.

Firstly, I envisaged APPLES MOON would be considerably shorter and favourite. She was certainly progressive last season, and she's obviously trained on and improved when making a successful return at Exeter last month despite being absent nearly 11 months. The trip, going and current conditions will suit, and the trainer continues to fire in the winners.

For all the jockeys in experience, Parikarma should be suited by this trip and ground. Notwithstanding the rider's claim, he is very well handicapped. If forward enough for a seasonal return, he might cause a surprise, especially if the change of stables has perked him up.

HOLD THE SERVE won his Dole Pint this time last season prior to coming to Olly Murphy. Ran too bad to be true on debut at Cheltenham last month, 11/14. Went off 13/8 favourite that day; obviously better was expected. Had wind surgery since, suggesting that may have been the issue. Sean Bowen in the plate. I envisaged him being around 4/1; a mark of 11/2 represents good value.

SHOT BOII from David Pipe yard is very well handicapped at present, notwithstanding the addition of Ryan's ten-pound claim. He was very well supported throughout the day at Ffos Las on his seasonal return but ran a shocker when pulled up. Judging by the money that day, much better was expected.

Respectable effort on debut in this sphere when second having gone off a strongly backed favourite at 5/4 that occasion at Musselburgh. I liked the way he battled back to snatch second. He'll know more this time around. I envisage him being around 2/1 here or 100/30, getting a bit of value.

Has more letters of the alphabet to its name than form figures in the last seven runs. But three runs back, when pulled up, he went off a 3/1 favourite. I find it interesting he's stepping markedly up in trip with no stand??'out candidate. He might cause an upset if the step up in trip suits. With the rider's claim next to no weight.
