Race by race view...

1:15 – Seaborn

He won here on good to firm last September but it will be very different conditions here with the heavy ground. His record to date suggest he is much better suited to a decent surface, so that is an obvious worry, but at least he comes here in fair form after a Kempton fourth last time, and two hurdles wins before that, so let’s see how we get on.

1:50 – Marks Bear

He appears to have shaped pretty well when fourth at Ascot first time up, and that would give you plenty of encouragement that he will be competitive here. The heavy ground is an unknown but the dam ran her best race in the soft, so hopefully that is a good sign.

3:55 – Pure Bubbles

He appears to have run a bit better than his final position would indicate on his debut over 1m here last month. Hopefully, that will have done him plenty of good, fitness and experience-wise, and his sire Protectionist, on whom I won a Melbourne Cup back in 2014, suggests this trip may suit him.

4:25 – King’s Caper

He hasn’t really gone from his narrow second in the Italian Derby, but at least the handicapper has dropped him 6lb for his last three starts. So if he can recapture his best then he is certainly on a good mark, and he does have form in the mud, too.
