Our star columnist provides a runner-by-runner guide to his chances on Saturday.

AS

SOUTHWELL

17:45 - Serenity Dream

He's quite new to us and I though he ran a good race when third at Chester the other week. He's won on the all-weather before and this might just suit him. He's in good form and I'm be hopeful he might come on for the recent outing and handle the surface at Southwell.

WOLVERHAMPTON

18:30 - Cloudy Skye

I've been a fraction disappointed with her as she does go well at home. I've been a bit unsure about the best trip for her but I hope this will suit her well. It's the right sort of race for her and she's run well at Wolverhampton in the past. She was another one who had a bad draw at Ayr, she just couldn't win from where she was on the day.

20:30 - The Bobster

The Bobster won last time out. He's taken his time and been quite a backward horse but the step up in trip has helped him. He did nothing wrong the other day and I thought he won quite well as he just looked to pull up when getting to the front. Hopefully he's as effective at Wolverhampton as he is at Newcastle as he's only gone up a couple of pounds in the weights.
