Fraser Island

He was a decent middle-distance handicapper on the Flat, where his best form looks to have come on decent and quick ground. So that may be an issue, I suppose. But he schooled nicely for me on Tuesday morning and he clearly has a level of ability that could see him competitive here.

Shishkin

We like this horse. He came to us after winning his point in very good style and he certainly looked a smart prospect when winning his bumper easily for me at Kempton back in March. We are clearly hoping for a big run on his hurdling debut.

Gowiththeflow

This is a horse I know very well, having won on him last time out at Market Rasen in May, and I was also on board when he beat a certain Paisley Park at Doncaster last year. He went up only 2lb for his latest win and he handles soft ground well too, so hopefully he can be on the premises here on his first start back off a break.

2.25pm

Craigneiche

I am sure most eyes will be on The Big Breakaway here after his Chepstow win, but I really liked Craigneiche when he won his bumper for me at Market Rasen in June. He is a lovely stamp of a horse, and a natural jumper, and he gets 6lb from the winners.  He’s a nice prospect.

Maridadi

I don’t know anything about her as it stands, but she is a related to winners, including the smart hurdler Misterton. I rode a horse of Hughie’s, Urban Artist, to win a couple of bumpers at Ludlow and Cheltenham this season, so hopefully she can go a bit, too.
