An interesting juvenile hurdle opens the card and it could pay to side with RED RIVERMAN. The Nigel Twiston-Davies charge shaped well on both his starts over timber in September and with experience under his belt, this could be his chance to break his duck. A Little Bit Dusty made a pleasing start to his jumping career but may need further in time while a positive market move for the Alan King newcomer Secret Edge should be noted.

AFRICAN BROADWAY was last seen to good effect when romping home in a Newbury bumper and the David Pipe charge could take all the beating on his hurdling debut. The way in which he pulled clear in that particular bumper suggested this step up in trip shouldn't pose too many problems but don't rule out the chances of Lundy Sky and and Grand Vision, who can both get serious where it matters most.

SLIGHTLY TANNED makes his NH debut for champion trainer Paul Nicholls and having scored on the point-to-point circuit in February, the five-year-old son of Brian Boru will be well prepared for this occasion and is worthy of close consideration under Ruby Walsh. Colin Tizzard's Theatrical Star looks the most likely danger having displayed promise in bumper company earlier this year, while of the others, Allerton might be of particular interest to each-way punters.

In what looks a straight match up between Cue Card and SILVINIACO CONTI, the latter gets the nod. The Paul Nicholls-trained gelding beat subsequent Arkle hero Captain Chris by ten lengths in the Persian War Novices' Hurdle over track and trip 12 months ago and the 162-rated hurdler is taken to give a bold account of himself on his chasing debut. The Colin Tizzard inmate is a huge threat, however, having shaped with bags of promise over hurdles last season, while Le Corvee and Micheal Flips could be forced to settle for a supporting role.

DOMTALINE was beginning to shape menacingly at Newbury when last sighted before the gelded son of Martaline fell at the third last. The form of the particular juvenile hurdle has worked out well, most notably in the shape of winner Grandouet, and with C&D form in the book, the four-year-old is likely to take some beating. Architrave appeals most of the others at the forecast prices with Tim Vaughan enjoying a rich vein of the form, while Jubail is another with claims.

A P McCoy wouldn't of had the easiest of decisions to make when choosing between EASTLAKE and Award Winner but the former was preferred and this would indicate that connections feel the horse is well treated on his handicap debut. The son of Beneficial has done nothing but improve and could be some way ahead of the assessor off this mark of 120. French import Edgardo Sol would be interesting if allowed to take his chance following his third at Newton Abbot on Friday.

The veteran chaser TEMPLER gave yet another solid account of himself at Newton Abbot in September and would appear to have another big run up his sleeve off the same mark. The drop in trip is expected to suit while he appears versatile in regards to underfoot conditions. Born Again makes his handicap debut in this sphere and commands respect under A P McCoy, while of the others, Reve De Sivola is interesting dropping back in class.

Any positive market moves for newcomers Jayandbee and Velator would be worth taking seriously and while point-to-point winner Listen Boy is worth of a place on any shortlist, ONE TERM is preferred. Two attempts in similar company have shown the four-year-old is clearly progressing and with McCoy booked, this could be his day. Wiffy Chatsby is another with claims while Knock A Hand appeals at the forecast prices from an each-way point of view.
