Bomber Jackson has performed with credit in two hurdle efforts so far and as a result has to give 8lb and upwards to the field. That could prove a step too far for the six-year-old, and perhaps it is worth taking a chance on MISS BENEFITZ, who showed that she had some level of ability when third in a decent enough contest last time. She has a tendency to race freely, but this contest won't take much winning and she must be feared if getting an easy lead. Bellas Rock and Yaha Fizz complete the shortlist.

Gordon Elliott looks to have the two aces in the pack in this small field, with the more experienced TOCORORO fancied to get the better of stablemate Buyer Beware. The selection has much the better form, with respectable efforts behind the likes of Apple's Jade, Ivanovich Gorbatov and Newberry New to his name this season. A repeat of those efforts would more than suffice here. The form of the other contenders looks thin, but perhaps Boom Box will improve for the better ground representing a trainer in decent form.

A few unexposed types in what is a nice race for the time of year. The hat-trick seeking Isabella Liberty is clearly in decent heart at the moment and must be considered back at a circuit where she won earlier this month, but instead a tentative vote goes to Noel Meade's JOSEPHINE MARCUS. She was narrowly beaten by Gordon Elliott's charge last week, but that was her first run in 12 months and she is much better off at the weights here. That pair could fight it out once more, with Wate and Sea, Sweet Cherry and Tsundoku all entitled to consideration.

KONIG HALL is unexposed in this sphere and only found a well-handicapped rival too good last time. He showed a willing attitude to the line and looked capable of landing a similar type of contest in the not too distant future. He won his maiden here last August and a mark of 97 could still be lenient. Jeremy's Jet must be noted for any market support under Jack Kennedy, while Trans City has been running well on the Flat and remains well treated in this sphere. Lady Of Portlairge and Dixie Highway are others to consider in a competitive event.

A huge run last time by the LEAN TIMES showed that the veteran hasn't given up just yet on the jumping game and returned to a course where he enjoys such a solid record, he is taken to get end a winless run that has stood for four years. Reafadda ran well over hurdles on his latest effort but perhaps won't appreciate the drying ground as much as the selection, while Urtheoneiwant has shaped as though his turn is near in recent weeks and must be considered in what is a relatively limited contest.

HURRICANE BEN has been doing his winning in hunter chases and makes his handicap chase debut now off a fair-looking mark of 118. The booking of Barry Geraghty suggests that a decent run is expected and connections look to have found him an excellent opening here. Liberty's Gift and Rebel Cry were both winners last time out and deserve respect, with marginal preference for the latter to give the selection most to think about. Nimdani has been frustrating to follow and might need a bit of rain, but he should be suited by this track and the services of David Mullins.

GLENS HARMONY is a full sister to 2015 Mares' Hurdle winner Glens Melody, and she made an excellent racecourse debut at the Punchestown Festival in the Mares' listed bumper. Finishing third behind a couple of promising types and over seven lengths clear of fourth, she was thrown in at the deep end there and should be able to claim this easier race en route to better things. So Sorry Sarah has made a promising start to life under Rules and her second behind an impressive winner there was pleasing. She can fill the runner-up spot ahead of Mulkear and Aine's Choice.
