We're double handed in the totescoop6 Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes.

Kimberella is a tough, hardy horse who has been on the go for a while. He still seems in great order though, we're very happy with him. He's well drawn which is a bonus and while a 3lb penalty doesn’t help, he should still be competitive. I'd love to see him win something like this.

The Wagon Wheel is also well drawn here and we’re trying to nick a black type with her. I hope she can get placed – and wouldn’t be surprised if she did.

Stripey is our first runner in the Hull Cartridge Anniversary Irish EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes. Her first run at Thirsk was very disappointing and she needs to step up significantly on that. We'll have to see what happens.

Any rain would help Grandad's World in division one of the totepoolliveinfo.com Handicap. He's been disappointing of late but some of his earlier form was reasonable and he wouldn't be out of this if back in that sort of nick.

Society Red has been a fraction unlucky. I'm not saying he'll win division two of the totepoolliveinfo Download The App Handicap but he'll probably run better than his price suggests.

Luis Vaz De Torres doesn't have anything hidden from the handicapper and is as high as he needs to be going into the Collect totepool Winnings At Betfred Shops Handicap.

Gabrial The Tiger is struggling to find his form after a good season last term but this trip around here should be okay for him.

Suegioo is hard to win with. He’s just dropping himself out and not getting involved in his races. He’s well handicapped now but needs his confidence back somehow. We’ll try again in the corbettsports.com Chester Stakes.

Gabrial is in a handicap again in the extended seven furlong event at 2.45 – and it will be interesting to see how he goes under top weight. Rain would be in his favour and he does his own thing but this is definitely a drop in grade.

He's a big, strapping horse who needs to be tuned in around here but is still capable of posting some very good runs.

Penwortham likes the track here. I was a little disappointed with him here last week but he seems in good form and don't draw a line through him.

Powerallied is another Chester specialist and he just needs some luck to get his head back in front. He's fared better in four for the thembnateam Handicap and I hope he's going to run well.

Wirral Girl got bogged down in the testing ground at Newbury last time and she'll run better in the Kindertons/EBF Fillies' Conditions Stakes as I think she'll handle the track.

I think Boundsy is one of our better chances on the day in the Stella Artois Handicap. He likes the track, is in great order and has a good draw. I'd love to see him win.

We run three for Marwan Koukash in the Thyme People Staffing And Events Handicap.

Angel Gabrial is in good order. It didn't happen for him for whatever reason in the Shergar Cup last time but on the form of his previous two races he'd have a big chance here.

Gabrial’s King isn't very big and has 10st 1lb to carry here which is why we're claiming seven off with Connor Murtagh. He's been hard to win with but is back down to the mark he struck at Thirsk off in April.

Gabrial's Star does his own thing and he'll decide how he goes I'm afraid.

We're double-handed in the BetBright Nursery at Sandown. Crownthorpe has been running respectably, we've been pleased with him of late. He just needs some luck and has a small chance.

It's hard to think Jedi Master has much in hand off his current mark but is an honest horse and could run well for all he has nothing hidden.

Constantino definitely seems a much better horse on the all-weather than the turf so he heads down south for the Betfred Chelmsford City Cup. It's a very valuable pot and fiercely competitive but I hope he bounces back to form after his York flop last time.

Our final runners are all at Hamilton.

Equitant is a nice colt. The only surprise about him winning first time at Beverley was the price he went off at. He's stepping up to six furlongs here. We're not rushing him but want to get more experience into the colt and the Bet toteexacta At betfred.com Novice Stakes looked a good fit.

It's a very different test to the first one for him, an extra furlong on slower ground, but this is a horse we like and we’re very happy with him.

Ingleby Spring has taken a while to come to herself this year but a race like the Bet totequadpot At betfred.com Handicap would be well within her compass if back on song.

Invermere ran well first time out but has just lost her way a little since. On her very best form she'd have a small chance in the Bet totetrifecta At betfred.com EBF Fillies' Handicap.

We also run Vaulted who is a horse I thought would win two or three races this season but it hasn’t happened. He travelled well at Thirsk last time but didn’t find as much as seemed likely so we've stuck cheekpieces on to see if they help.

Our final three runners are in the BB Foodservice 2-Y-O Series Final which is worth £20,000 and well worth a shot at.

Clubbable is a very genuine and honest horse and we know she'll handle conditions which is a positive for her.

We’ve stuck a pair of blinkers on Quayside who Is a lazy horse at home. They need to help him here as he has to find a bit of improvement.

Sinaloa could run well here. Track, trip, everything looks right for him. He's drawn a little on the wing in two but I won’t be using that as an excuse yet.
