Give Me A Cuddle

I rode him when he won his bumper at Huntingdon last year and it is fair to say that he hasn’t transferred that level of form to hurdles just yet. But he is on a mark of just 112 here and he has chances if he settles better than he did on his return at Lingfield last  month.

Epatante

She doesn’t have a certain Constitution Hill to contend with here so you have to be more than hopeful she can get back to winning ways. We all know her Grade 1 class and the scary thing is that she probably hasn’t been that far off her very best when chasing home her stablemate at Newcastle and Kempton this season. This is clearly a significant drop in grade for her, for all she carries a 6lb penalty.

Hurricane Bay

There looks to be plenty of depth to this race this year but hopefully Hurricane Bay has each way claims. He has winning course form over 2m5f on this ground and this step up to 3m could well suit.

Mister Coffey

We were very happy with his comeback second to a progressive horse at Chepstow – I thought we would win at one stage – and he clearly can be competitive off this mark. A drop of rain would probably suit him but hopefully the ground will be okay for him.

Bombay Sunset

I don’t know that much about him – very little in fact – but he looks to have ability judged on his point run and Lucy has her team in good form, so let’s see.
