Eremenko seemed to have a valid excuse when pulled up at Bangor in April, with the mare reported to be in season, and she appears likely to play a leading role on her first start for Donald McCain. However, the vote goes to CINATING. Gordon Elliott's filly made amends for falling at Ballinrobe when getting off the mark at Roscommon and that form sets the standard. Crokes Cross caused a major upset when winning at Kelso on her hurdling debut after being sent off at 300/1, but she will need to back that performance up.

PATH OF STARS answered every question Ben Macey asked of her over track and trip and she kept going to finally get off the mark. It takes a small leap of faith to expect her to step forward from that, but it's worth taking the chance. Fine As Wine has the assistance of Sean Bowen in the saddle for the first time having run with credit on both handicap starts to date. She heads a list of dangers that also includes Masterminding, who was runner-up in the other division of the C&D handicap the selection won last month.

EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN went very close to completing a double over further here having scored over C&D a couple of days before. Despite a 4lb rise, the drop back in trip appears to be the right move for the eight-year-old, who can return to winning ways. Hexham scorer Divilabother has to be respected off a 5lb higher mark, with Nakassama and Heart Above others for the shortlist.

AMANCIO was too keen to do himself justice when fifth on his handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster back in December. However, the five-year-old clearly benefited from a break, with a third on the level at Newbury followed by a win at Carlisle earlier in the month, and he definitely has more to offer back in this discipline. Filibustering arrives seeking a hat-trick over timber and commands respect, along with Nap Hand.

SEAN OG had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D and Dianne Sayer's gelding merits plenty of respect off just 4lb higher on this occasion. Buy Some Time also won well on his most recent outing at Perth and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Breizh River edges out Pour Les Filles to be best of the rest.

Halfway House Lad has to be respected following back-to-back wins last month, but he could be vulnerable off his new mark. As a result, preference is for CROAGH PATRICK, who took a big step in the right direction when second at Hexham a couple of weeks ago. A recent winner over hurdles here, Kingofthegame is another to arrive with strong claims.

Cases can be made for all of these, but it is hard to oppose CONQUER THE BREEZE. Adam Nicol's gelding has won three of his last four starts and that includes a seven-length victory at Hexham last week. A 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop him if he is in the same form. Blue Reed has to be noted over from Ireland, while Ghasham and Intenzo complete the shortlist.
