-100
The Roger Teal-trained, Cieren Fallon-ridden Distant Rumble hasn't had much respite from the handicapper since his win back on April 25, when he was raised 6 lb to a mark of 77. He is down to 67 now, and a return to Kempton's 6f, where he was a C&D winner off 68, could hopefully spark a return to form.

Lose
-250
The Simon Dow-trained Paddy Bradley-ridden Tronido is joint top-rated on a mark of 70. Tronido remains a little high in the handicap, and her best form is on turf. That said, she is a winner here, and Simon reports that she seems to have grown stronger this season. I expect her to bounce out and hopefully hang on for at least a place at good odds.

-150
The Ed Walker-trained Popmaster won LTO 21 days ago. Ed reports that he remains in good form at home. Ashley Lewis is now on board, taking off weight, so fingers crossed he can be competitive off 97 minus Ashley's 5 lb claim. He has course form and looks the one to beat.

Harry Derham reports that Casual Observer has schooled well over fences. He’s had a long time off the track, so it would normally be a concern about his fitness. But Harry's growing Lambourn facilities are spot on, and he has done as much as he can with him at home. A run will bring him on.

The Chelsea Barnham-trained Watermelon Sugar kept on well to finish a close second over course and distance last time out. The form has been boosted by the winner and third, who both scored at the next time of asking. He won over course and distance on his penultimate start, and the booking of Jamie Spencer suggests that he'll again be ridden patiently and delivered late.

The Julia and Shelly Birkett trained Dylan Hogan ridden Grand Duchess Olga has 4 wins and 12 places from 31 AW starts. Although this is a slightly higher grade than she normally competes in, it doesn't seem that strong for a cl5 h/cap and is imo a value ew play at around 28/1.

With two horses taking a lot out of the market and only bits of form to go on, a chance is taken on Skip To Victory. The Dylan Cunha trained Luke Morris ridden 3yo filly was fancied to run a big race on debut and went off at 11/4 2nd fav but she fluffed her lines when slowly away and ran very green. Dylan reorts she has improved in the interim and might run into a place at rewarding odds.

After winning a 6f CL6 at Southwell, Albert Cee was 2nd here, beaten 2½ lengths off 62 last time, and can race off the same mark again here. That course-and-distance handicap won by Cargin Bhui was run in a fast time, and the two-and-a-half-length winner has since followed up at Southwell. Several others from that race have also run well since. The Peter Charalambous-trained Albert Cee looks the one they all have to beat.

-300
Getaway King is unbeaten in three runs for trainer Fergal O'Brien since coming across from Ireland. There still looks to be plenty of juice left in his mark of just 97, and Tom Broughton takes off an additional 5 lb to aid the cause. Providing the ground doesn't go against him, he can make the four-timer happen.

Hopefully this race will not come too soon after Junior Des Mottes' Fakenham win. Trainer Nick Scholfield reports that he is in good form at home and should have a great chance of following up.

Frank Stamper
Daily Racing
100 EW
@9.50
Win
70
I'm playing 2 against the field, with Frank Stamper as my each-way selection as they are paying 3 places. The Warren Greatrex-trained James Bowen, a 4yo son of Frankel, was in the frame in his first two starts over hurdles but then disappointed around here in his first attempt in a handicap, finishing last of seven. He's down a couple of pounds today and still has the benefit of the 12 lb 4yo WFA allowance against his elders, and IMO he looks overpriced.
Kool Kid
Daily Racing
100 WIN
@3.75
Win
275
The Joe Tizzard-trained Brendan Powell-ridden Kool Kid has been consistent, if you can forgive him his last run when doing too much early on. He may have also found the ground too soft when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time out. His best run was his penultimate run when 3rd over 2½m here. The drop back in trip at Plumpton should suit, and he should be in the mix.

The Willie Mullins-trained, Paul Townend-ridden Magic McColgan is no stable star but hinted at more to come when a 12-length, 25/1 second in a mares’ beginners’ chase here last time out. At around 10/1 she looks worth chancing now, running in a handicap chase for the first time.

Red Acres Max: after narrowly winning his debut Irish point at Dromahane, he was bought for £249k. The runner-up in that race sold for £280k and bolted up in a Punchestown bumper for Gordon Elliott next time out. The 21 lengths adrift third won easily in a point on his next start. Trainer Jamie Snowden reports that he is a fine-looking horse who works well and has a bright future.

The Charlie Longsdon-trained, James Bowen-ridden Zestful Hope runs his best races at Hereford, where he has won four times, including this race last year. He may be a little high in his mark, but at around 4/1 he is well worth a punt.

The Jamie Snowden-trained Tommy Pickles hacked up in an Irish point-to-point for Matty Flyn O’Connor on his second start on very soft ground. He was 3rd in a good race on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot. He had a wind-op before running an excellent 2nd last time out at Ffos Las. He sets the standard with the only mark in the field on 114. Joe Anderson claims 3 lb to aid the cause and must have every chance of going one better here.

French import Majolique is having her first run for Willie Mullins. She showed plenty on debut in her one run in France when a short-neck winner in a Fillies & Mares race at Longchamp. That form has been franked at Listed level. This is no gimme, as Immediate Effect looks useful.

The Jonathan Portman-trained Joe Leavy-ridden Hello Luna did well, all things considered, as it was only her second start since she had a nasty accident during a race at Ffos Las last August. If she can take another step forward, she could go very close this evening at a double-figure price.

The Mullins duo??"Willie training and Patrick in the saddle??"have a very good chance here with Look Me. He handled testing conditions well when narrowly beaten in a valuable sales bumper here last April. Willie won this race again last year. Despite Look Me not racing for 307 days, I'm sure Willie will have the 5yo French-bred gelding straight enough for this.

The Willie Mullins-trained Grangeclare West was one of my National picks last year and has a decent chance of landing this 3m 2f chase. Still only 10yo and having just 11 chase runs, he is the class angle into the race. If fully wound up, jockey Paul Townend should have him in the mix.

Respond went into my tracker back on June 25 after finishing an unlucky 2nd. He won next time out and, although going close in this grade twice since, remains 1 from 6. This looks a good opportunity for Andrew Balding's 4yo Ghaiyyath gelding with Jason Watson doing the steering.

The Harry Derham-trained Klub De Reve looked really good, with his ears pricked, literally bouncing along when winning a maiden hurdle here by 10 lengths last time out. Win, lose, or draw today, in only his 4th run, the 6-year-old Fly With Me gelding is one I will definitely be following.

The Robert Walford-trained Harry Kimber-ridden Grenadier Jed gets in here off bottom weight. He likes a right-handed track, and today's trip is a little bit further than he’s gone before, which I think will be in his favour. He’s been running in lesser races off bigger weights. Today he’s in a better race under a lesser burden??"getting weight all round. If he progresses again, he’s got every chance.

The Jonathan G. Portman-owned & trained, Rob Hornby-ridden Deauville Blue definitely has ability but has had problems both with his previous trainer, Charlie Hills, and since arriving at Jon's, which has seen the 4yo have just three runs. His fitness tonight has to be taken on trust, but in a wide-open handicap at around 20/1 and off bottom weight, I think we can have a little each-way play.

The bookies must have been doing cartwheels when Constitution got accepted in the Novice Stakes over 1½ miles and offering a measly 7/4. I'd rather lay than play CH. However, Tripoli Flyer was one of the classier hurdlers in this field, and he was also a smart bumper horse before that. Should be in the mix.

The lucky last can go the way of the Jo O'Brien-trained Joey Sheridan-ridden Arrietty, who is a nice 3yo Lope de Vega filly who can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. O'Brien's other runner in this race, So Most, could make the forecast.

The Paul W. Flynn-trained Moyassr is seeking the hat-trick. His course record in cheekpieces is 2112311 (4-7), with the third place due to not staying the extended 1m2f trip and the latest runner-up effort by just a short head. The 6 lb rise for his latest victory makes life trickier this evening, but his attitude can’t be faulted, and jockey Reese Holohan takes off a useful 7 lb. EW play looks the way to go.

He was unlucky to be beaten by half a length on his seasonal reappearance at Exeter. Things haven't quite worked out since, but he heads back to his beloved Ffos Las with blinkers on for the first time, which should hopefully sharpen him up and make him travel with more confidence. Izzy takes the ride again, claiming a valuable 5 lb.

Willie Mullins goes toe to toe with Gordon Elliott in what should be a matchup.
