Houstonn (Hollie Doyle)
We tried a mile and a half a couple of times, but it looks as though 10 furlongs is his optimum so he’s back down in trip today and hopefully the ground won’t be too soft. He’s got a lot of talent when he puts it all in and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him run a nice race.

Stem (Ryan Moore)
He’s a colt we like a lot and his work has been very pleasing. Ryan Moore is booked and I’m expecting a decent show, but he won’t run if the ground is too soft.

4:25
One More (Ryan Moore)
He ran a solid race at Kempton on debut and I’d expect him to improve again for it. I don’t think this is the greatest race and he goes there with a good shout.

5:35
Sedgemoor (Alex Voikhansky)
He won well on Handicap debut at Haydock and the assessor has taken no chances and put him up 8lbs. This is a rise in grade, and he has to show he’s up to, but I was impressed with his attitude last time and he might still be on the upgrade.

Persica (Sean Levey)
It was a muddling race at Windsor so I’m happy to forgive him that because his form all season has been very good and he’s quite versatile ground-wise. He’s a ‘sensitive’ horse, so needs to be treated with kid gloves, but is very talented and this is his trip.

2:25
Aramram (Sean Levey)
He won the valuable Apprentice race at Doncaster last week and doesn’t mind soft ground. He’s drawn right down the middle of the track, which could be a good place to be, and he has a great each way shout.
