Both wins over hurdles have come here. Out of form this season, which has been the case with most horses from this yard.

Has been out of form this season and steadily coming down the weights. Will find his mark before long and the market will probably indicate when that is the case.

Handicap mark is now 13lb lower than for his latest success at Plumpton in May 2015. Ground conditions have come right for him and this is his time of year.

Record here is 3-5 including two over this trip. 4lb above last winning mark and ground conditions are forecast to be in her favour. Off the track since December and will probably need the run.

Made all to score last time and jumped a lot better for it. Steps up in trip but has the pedigree to see it out. Ground conditions should produce some improvement too. Bumper form suggests she could be let in lightly here (beat 127 rated Pearl Royale). Trainer and jockey have an impressive strike rate around here.

£30,000 purchase with bags of stamina in her pedigree. Up further in distance here for handicap debut with top local rider booked. Yard have had just one NH winner this season from 32 runners and that came last May.

Sent off favourite and well beaten here last time when he had a lot going for him. The stable are still struggling for winners.

Both wins have come at Plumpton. Soundly beaten at Wetherby when well supported and is 4lb higher in the weights today. That run may have come too soon for him and he has had a few weeks to recover now.

Verdict

CARNSPINDLE has only had the three runs over hurdles and may have more to offer now handicapping. She had good form in bumpers and now that she has brushed up her jumping she can build on her latest success for a trainer/jockey combination that do well here. Land League is interesting now handicapping and stepping up in distance. He looks on a reasonable mark and the yard's horses have been going well of late. Ossie's Dancer has been waiting for faster ground. He usually comes to hand at this time of year and he goes well for today's rider.
