Today’s Lambourn Trainer comments

This is Come Dancing’s second run over hurdles. He came out of last race well and we are looking for an improvement and stronger finish in this race.

Lawd Dylan ran disappointingly last time out, but he has been working well at home since. We have got Jack Andrews on board who is claiming 5lb and fingers crossed he runs a good race. He will go hurdling after this.

This race has been her target and we deliberately gave her a run here a few weeks ago to sharpen her up and I think she has really improved since then. Obviously we’re taking on Nina The Terrier again but I’m happy with our horse and she goes there with a solid chance.

This is a big step up for her but she was impressive at Huntington the other day so deserves a crack at this prize and she’s owned by Canter Banter Racing which was set up by some of the lads in the yard so it would be fantastic if she could run well for them and gain some Black Type in the process.

She’s had a bit of a stop-start career over fences but she’s a very talented mare who will be suited by the extra distance and while she’s probably a little high in the ratings, she’s got some very good hurdling form and handles pretty much any ground.

He’s been off a while so will probably need this but he’s got enough talent to figure and the Handicapper has dropped him a few pounds which will help.

He’s a very good horse and I don’t think we’ve really scratched the surface with him yet. He’ll be going chasing after this, and will be very exciting in that sphere, but his work has been very good and the step up in trip is a big plus.

We’re backing him up pretty quickly after Ascot last week but he’s an easy horse to train who takes his racing and work well so we thought we’d give this a shot. I think he’s a proper two miler and it will be interesting to see how he fares off a revised mark of 131.

He will love the ground and I was very happy when he worked with On The Blind Side at Newbury a couple of weeks ago. That will have put him spot on for this and as I said in my Unibet blog last week, I really think he has a very realistic chance and I certainly wouldn’t put anyone off having a few quid each way.

She’s won and been placed around here so likes the track and I have to say she’s been in particularly good form at home. This is her trip and I see no reason why she won’t run well.

I’m hoping that the step up in trip should suit him. He was staying on and doing his best work at the end last time when he won. I’m hoping that he can see the extra furlong out and if he does, then he should be competitive again.

Queen of Comedy looks fantastically well and I’m looking forward to seeing her run for the second time. I think it’s a good opportunity for her and I’ll be expecting to see her make a big step forward for her debut at Nottingham.

Hafeet Alain is really well in himself and has done well since his last race three weeks ago. This will be his first start on this surface so it will be interesting to see how he gets on but if running in a similar fashion to last time he will have a great chance.
