3-year-old gelding sired by Hello Youmzain has much more experience than most in this field. Although it hasn't run here before, it has run one good race on the Newcastle Tapeta, coming a close 2nd.

6-year-old gelding sired by Mahler has won around here before with an improved performance. The good ground today may well make a difference along with a drop in the weight. Carrying a light weight today over further may help also. The jockey seems to get on well with this gelding.

4-year-old filly sired by Muhaarar has been running consistently in these classified events in the last 3 runs, winning one here at Wolverhampton and not being far away in the other two. The jockey had ridden the last two occasions and knows her well. I think it's just about getting the timing right for her run. Tends to lead or race prominently and hopefully can stay out in front this time.

10 year old gelding Sired by French Stallion Fuisse is a course and distance winner and has won twice more at the course. Down in the handicap 7lb from last win. Down in class from last run and ran a good 2nd here last year in this race from a higher handicap mark. This may be a race they have had in mind for a while. NAP.

7 year old gelding Sired by Havana Gold ran a close 2nd last time out here at Newcastle. He seems to like it here having won over course and distance several times. He is ridden by a 3lb claimer that knows him well and is now handicapped below his last win. Should go close.

4-year-old gelding sired by Calyx has run consistently and seems to perform on good and soft going. I like his run back in October at Wincanton on good going under this jockey, coming a 4-length 2nd to the mighty EAST INDIA DOCK. That is very good form, and a recent win on the flat will ensure fitness and gives confidence.

4-year-old gelding Sird by Washington DC is a 2-time course and distance winner under a 3lb claimer A Breslin. This jockey, claiming 5, also runs this surface well. I think the horse going close recently with the extra weight off his back can go close.

He hasn't yet won a race, but his handicap mark has dropped to a decent mark, and with a good 3lb claimer on board today, he may come on significantly from his comeback run and go close.

6-year-old gelding sired by Soldier Of Fortune has had a few runs here, the best being this year on New Year's Day. He was a staying on 3rd that day and hasn't really done so well in two further outings. He is, however, fitted with a visor today and 3lb lower in the handicap. Also has a 5lb claimer on board helping with the weight. One of three in the race for David Pipe, and I'm hoping for a good run.

4-year-old filly sired by Calyx has only had the one run so far, having been off the course for 369 days. Hopefully, whatever has been amiss is now sorted, as these Calyx fillies have usually won by now. A decent run at Wolverhampton on her only start when not getting the best of rides. Not her true ability on display there, but now more mature, sure she will win soon, hopefully today.

4-year-old gelding sired by Havana Grey has yet to win on the all-weather but has come down in the handicap all the way to 72 from a lofty 90 on the turf. I think this polytrack slow going should suit, and from this mark, has a good each-way squeak. 25-1 just seems too big, first time on slow going at Kempton over 6 furlongs. NAP

7-year-old gelding sired by Pethers Moon has been off the track for 108 days and undergone wind surgery. Prior to that, this was his distance, winning well 3 times and placing 3rd on 2 other runs. Only after his first handicap 4th has he been out of the frame. Very consistent, likeable type. Hopefully, he strips fit after his operation. He did win his first 2 NHF outings, so there is every reason to be optimistic.

11-year-old gelding sired by Ballingarry hasn't won for a long time but is becoming nicely handicapped. I think at 11 he still has a win in him. Ran a good race here for this jockey back in November when trying to win from the front and just got beaten in a duel to the line. I think this going and course will suit today and will hopefully make all.

3-year-old filly sired by Cotai Glory won her last race, a novice stakes race over 5 furlongs on good to firm 192 days ago. She has changed stables recently, but I think she should be suited to this surface and is a proven winner. So, I'm happy to take a chance on her in her first handicap.

5-year-old gelding sired by Seahenge has yet to win a race but has been coming down the handicap nicely. He ran a good race, coming a close 2nd here last February for I. Jardine. Not threatened for this trainer yet, but maybe just getting used to his new environment and hopefully a better run under a jockey that has ridden him before and is now better handicapped. Going each way as he tends to lead but tie-up late on in races.

7-year-old gelding sired by Beat Hollow has yet to win over fences but is starting to look well handicapped. His one win came over hurdles at Taunton over 2 miles 3 furlongs, and he was carrying 12 stone that day. He is top weight today, carrying 12 stone over 2 miles 4 furlongs. The jockey has ridden him over hurdles, coming 2nd. The extra 3 lb allowance will help, and he should have a good chance to get his first win over the larger obstacles.
