I start Saturday with Explode, and this one has won a couple of races already this year. He might not have shown much last time out, but at the same time, he's a really nice horse. He'll have to find some improvement in what looks to be a very competitive handicap though. I don't see why he can't find that improvement though and find himself right up there.
Boyfriend has been extremely consistent of late, without getting his head in front. This looks set up for him to run a huge race and he's been working really well at home. He ticks a lot of boxes for me, so I like his chances here.
High Summer is one of Harry Charlton's I don't know a lot about, but this is a novice stakes, so we're all on a level playing field in that respect. I'm looking forward to seeing what he's all about, and hopefully we'll have something to celebrate here.
Assaranca won really nicely last time out, over course and distance. She's stepping up in grade, but at the same time, she won well enough to suggest she's more than capable of finding another level here.
Abundant is another one who won over course and distance last time out, and didn't go up too much for his victory. He should be massively competitive - especially after showing he really enjoys this place.
