Magna Gee Gee ran his best race of three last time out when he was still in with a chance until tiring late into 4th. Has been allowed plenty compared with the trio that beat him and if he improves by a similar amount here, he should have a good each-way shout.

Milldam has progressed year on year since coming over from France and came to himself last season winning three deep-ground handicaps over 2m. He needed his comeback run two weeks ago and providing we're not bringing him back too soon after that, he looks to have a great chance here. He gets his beloved heavy ground and 2m on a nice flat track.

Kotmask was 3rd and then 2nd in successive races around here last month, when possibly the first effort was slightly the better. In-form and consistent, he should be bang there at the finish.

Mark Of Gold has an enviable record of wins, seven from 20 over hurdles and three more on the level. He starts chasing in a four-runner novice affair where his hurdle rating suggests (unlike the bookmakers) he has a big chance. Interesting.

Unfortunately, Leon Trotsky has to run in the same race as Smokey Malone. He has been a slow burner so far and we are hoping that sending him up in trip will bring improvement from him.

Audacious Annie has a bit to live up to as a sister to You Wear It Well, but she won her bumper impressively on debut. She wasn't beaten far in a Listed bumper on her 2nd start after which we gave her time to strengthen and mature. We put her in at the deep end again in Listed company at Cheltenham and she wasn't quite up to that. She jumps well and hopefully, she can get back on track today first time over hurdles.

Rusheen Boy had an excuse for his last run when he lost a shoe during the race. He has bad feet so was probably feeling it. He seems very well now and this looks the right grade. We're refitting the hood to help him relax and get home over the 7f. Each-way hopes.

Moulins Clermont was off the track for almost two years before his recent comeback on this track last month. He looked ring-rusty then as he trailed the field from the outset and may need a run or two more to get going again.

Taita Hills is also an English point winner, but he had almost two years between his first and second runs for the stable. He wasn't disgraced after the layoff behind our smart horse Miller Spirit when he made a winning jumps debut around here last month. He can improve on that today.

Tara Iti has run 2nd in his last two but both were selling hurdle races. He is consistent but whether he can end his long losing run is questionable. Can be placed again though.
