AINTREE

1.05: STORM RUN, still going well when falling two out in Tullymurry Toff's race over 2m 41/2f at Cheltenham last time, had previously trotted up by 11 lengths from Mozemo over 2m 3f at Hereford and remains an exciting chasing prospect. Keep Me In Mind may pose most problems.

1.35: GOOD VIBES stayed on strongly to win over 2m at Wetherby on his reappearance and is fancied to follow up. Chai-Yo looks the main danger.

2.10: SOUNDS STRONG, who ran Strath Royal to a neck over 3m 1f on his reappearance at Wetherby, is a progressive sort and is preferred to course- specialist Young Hustler, who has plenty of weight and is not getting any younger. Jultara may prove the biggest threat.

ASCOT

1.20: Coulton has class and has won his seasonal debut for the past four years. But he has never been successful at further than 2m 5f and may find 3m too far on testing ground. AARDWOLF fell on his Sandown reappearance, but shows his best form in the early part of the season. He can win despite being 7lb out of the handicap. Cool Dawn, usually amateur ridden, could show up well with Andrew Thornton in the saddle.

1.55: Papua ran in the Derby in June, finishing last of 13. How he takes to jumps is a guess. Monarch's Pursuit has the best proven jumping form, but both his wins have been on a fast surface. TOM TAILOR battled on dourly at Sandown two weeks ago. He showed his best Flat form when the mud was flying.

2.30: Simply Dashing was a top novice chaser last season and represents a stable in excellent form. He is believed to be best on a sound surface, however. Jeffell arrives from Ireland with strong claims, including a creditable fourth to Danoli at Leopardstown last year.

But OR ROYAL should prove too strong for these rivals today.
