Outpaced but improved from his debut when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Hood is applied for the first time and he should come on for that run, though he looks more one for handicaps.

Bit green under pressure but made a very promising debut when finishing 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m, useful on the Flat where he won at Listed level in France and there should be more to come for a top yard.

SQUARE D'ALBONI shaped with a fair amount of promise on his hurdling debut when third to Fire Warning at Newbury and that experience will only benefit him now competing against his own age group. Hellion ran particularly well on his second start on the Flat at Bath in September and has since joined Donald McCain. He is likely to be competitive along with Belaya River.
The obvious choice here is SQUARE D'ALBONI who was green when placing in a much better race than this on his hurdling debut. He was a Listed winner on the flat in France so should have much more to offer for top connections and can outclass these. Belaya River has run a couple of solid races so far in this discipline and looks the biggest danger on form while the ex French Shamsat is worth following in the betting. He was a winner on the flat and has joined a yard which does well in this sphere with its new recruits.

Badly hampered by a faller and needed the run when fourth, beaten 39l, in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; well treated on old form but needs to prove ability remains after lay off.

ALWAYS A REASON improved over hurdles, winning at Southwell and finishing a close second at Carlisle, before making a successful switch to the larger obstacles at Newcastle. Despite going up 5lb, Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes plenty of appeal in his bid to back up that performance. Zero Tolerance returned with a solid effort here over shorter and is capable of a decent showing. Starman appears best of the remainder.
Rebecca Menzies holds a strong hand here with Dalyotin and ALWAYS A REASON at either end of the weights. The former met trouble over hurdles on his return from a huge absence but he did prove he retains some of his ability off a much reduced mark so is a threat. However it is his stablemate who is preferred after a cosy win first time out in this sphere. He's only gone up 5lb for that which looks lenient given he idled in front so likely had plenty more in the tank. Of the others Starman makes most appeal after returning to form with a game effort last time. He is dangerously treated on his best Irish form so can't be ruled out.

On her last seven starts, Devon Skies has either won or been pulled up and she needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Sedgefield. Avalon Beach landed a maiden hurdle at the same venue in November and ran with credit when runner-up at Wetherby last time. The vote, though, goes to ABBEY SCOPE. Nicky Richards tends to be very patient with his horses and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see this six-year-old step forward considerably on his handicap debut.
ABBEY SCOPE is yet to match the form of his bumper win but he looks on a generous mark based on that and he has shaped with promise on a couple of his starts over hurdles. He was outpaced over 2m last time suggesting that this longer trip should suit and he is chosen to defeat Byron Hill who hinted at a revival when placed last time off a much reduced mark. If his stamina holds up he can fill the places with maiden Wise Move who has been running into form recently and showed a willing attitude last time.

After emphatic wins at Hexham and Warwick, it's hard to oppose STICK WITH ME SAM. A 5lb rise for his latest success is manageable in what doesn't appear to be a stronger race. The recent form posted by the rest is nothing to write home about, but Forcetoreckonwith is still of low mileage over fences and could be a key player with a step forward. Irish raider Bid Up won't need to raise his game by much to cover the travel expenses in this company.
STICK WITH ME SAM is a strong selection here. He had a bit in hand when winning last time and with the runner up winning next time he looks well treated up just 5lb. He can complete the hat trick at the expense of Forcetoreckonwith who has shaped with promise on a couple of starts in his short chasing career. Perhaps the most interesting contender is the chase debutant Elusive Knight. He was largely poor over hurdles and looks flattered by a maiden outlier but he was a point winner so may do better in this sphere with headgear applied.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD looks worth chancing. Although she was well held in both placed starts since returning to action, she had plenty more behind than in front of her and from 14lb below her last winning mark, this could be a good time to catch the Christian Williams-trained mare. Bo Cruz and Court At Slip have similar profiles and merit close inspection in the betting. Bushypark is also dangerous to ignore on these terms.
The largely consistent if a touch frustrating FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD looks the solid option here. She's been in good form for more than a year now but has still dropped 14lbs below her last winning mark and the form of her latest couple of placed efforts looks strong. Bo Cruz is the least exposed in the field and showed improved form when placing last time where he hinted that this longer trip would be of benefit. He is on a good mark judged on his hurdles form and looks the main danger ahead of the unreliable Court At Slip. That rival often travels powerfully before finding little and may have to settle for a place once again.

Built on a recent return to form when beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 2m4f-3m on a sound surface, and is now down to an attractive mark.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 6f on good and soft ground. Beaten a head by East Eagle when second of 13 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good) earlier this month.

Having been edged out by a subsequent winner at Taunton, COLONIAL EMPIRE looks ready to rule his rivals. The nine-year-old is entitled to strip fitter for that first appearance in 189 days and a 2lb nudge up the ratings is surmountable. Wetherby third Asa merits respect on this quick turnaround and shouldn't be far away if performing to a similar level, while dual course winner Born In The West isn't easily dismissed either.
Given he could get an easy lead it may be worth chancing POETRY MAN here. He was a winner at this track over fences last year over 3m off 3lbs lower and he shaped with plenty of promise on his reappearance in this discipline until his fitness gave way. He's proven on varying ground and can account for Colonial Empire who bounced back to form last time going down by just a head to a next time out winner. That rival is well treated on building on that revival and can fill the places with the consistent but frustrating Guernesey who also looks on a generous mark. He does however have some enthusiasm questions having failed to pass the winner last time.

Went clear comfortably when landing a handicap by 12l at Sedgefield last time off a 7lb lower mark. Well treated despite a 4lb rise, has improved, is effective at around 2 1/4m, handles cut, and may have more to offer for a new yard judged on French efforts.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 1f on good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 5-6fav at Sedgefield over 2m 1f (good to soft) earlier this month, beating The Coffey Boy by 12l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Newcastle this season.

Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f, handles soft and good ground, and the latest effort suggests she is back in form.
Placed in two hurdle races from nine starts. Beaten 7l by Fostered Phil when second of 10 at 20-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Carlisle over 2m 1f (soft) in December last year.

Was outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective over trips from 2m to 2 1/2m but arrives out of form on recent evidence.
Winner of two hurdle races, a NH flat race and three chases from 1m 5f to 2m 3f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Well beaten at 14-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Sedgefield over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year.

Showed greenness and made mistakes but improved after a wind operation when fourth, beaten 10l, in a juvenile hurdle at Haydock last time. This is his second run after the procedure, is effective at 2m, and should improve with experience for top yard.
Placed in a hurdle race from two starts. Finished 10l behind Diamond Jim when fourth of 6 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Haydock over 2m (good) in December last year.

Ran to current form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time, returns from a short break, is effective at 2m, but has yet to show anything over hurdles or prove himself even off this basement mark.
Unplaced in all five starts over hurdles. Well beaten at 10-1 behind John Betjeman when fifth of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Sedgefield over 2m 1f (soft) in November last year. He is wearing cheekpieces and a tongue-tie for the first time.

KAZAR FOREZ continued on his upward trajectory when romping home at Sedgefield and he's sure to be towards the head of the market on this hat-trick bid. Joshua Thompson negates most of the 7lb penalty with his claim and the six-year-old should take all the beating. Handicap debutant Playful Fox shouldn't be underestimated given his leading connections, and market support would be interesting. Voodoo Angel is the pick of the remainder.
Top weight KAZAR FOREZ is the obvious choice here. He had plenty in hand when winning a weak contest at the weekend so looks well in under a 7lbs penalty. If the race doesn't come too soon he can defeat the steadily progressive Voodoo Angel whose improvement has come after switching to a softer surface. The most likely improver in the field is Playful Fox on his second start following a wind op. He has looked green on both of his starts so far but should have more to offer now handicapping for a top yard which is in flying form.
