An Irish point-to-point winner, HIDDEN FORTUNE posted a couple of encouraging efforts in bumpers before making a successful debut over hurdles at Fontwell. She finished nicely clear of the opposition and is taken to defy a penalty for last year's winning trainer. Mighty Fleur made every yard over 2m4f at Fakenham, so this shorter distance may not prove too much of an inconvenience. She rates a bigger threat than last month's Hereford winner Iamyouare.

SHINEALIGHT was well held when third at Uttoxeter earlier in the month but that was still a promising effort and gives her a big chance in a race of this nature. Lady Harriett needs to find some improvement to be successful but should not be discounted given connections, while Secret Secret and Evenwood Sonofagun are others who make the shortlist.

The combination of wind surgery and a longer trip worked the oracle for BELVEDERE BHOY at Carlisle last month. He returned the ready winner to open his account and the five-year-old has plenty of scope for further improvement. Half Pint Daisy bounced back with a decent second at Warwick and remains of interest over this shorter distance, while Our Laura B is not the most consistent but has a shout if on a going day.

SPEED DAVIS arrives on the back of two impressive victories and a 7lb rise for the latest of those wins, on his return at Bangor last month, may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Lipa K is another recent winner who is likely to go very well once again, while Al Sayah and Gwennie May Star are the pick of the remainder.

All of these have claims, but preference is for TOMMIE BEAU. The 11-year-old had plenty in hand when winning over this trip at Fakenham three weeks ago and a 5lb rise should be workable. My Bobby Dazzler followed his Hereford triumph with a Haydock second last time and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of If Not For Dylan.

Having finished runner-up twice since romping home at Sedgefield in February, COUP DE COEUR arrives here at the top of his game. A 2lb nudge up the ratings for his second at Perth looks workable and a sixth career victory may beckon. Sir Tivo is entitled to build on his fourth-placed seasonal bow at Bangor recently and is feared most, ahead of Got Grey.

PONY SOPRANO justified favouritism at Uttoxeter in comfortable fashion and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. The majority of his rivals have something to prove at present and a 7lb rise looks workable for Dan Skelton's charge. Although a well-beaten sixth at Wetherby in March, Arthur's Quay lurks on a dangerous mark. The veteran may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of three-time course winner Sean Og.
