GOLD LINK was entitled to need his reappearance outing at Newton Abbot last time and after tying up in the heavy ground late on over that 2m2f trip, better is expected from Emma Lavelle's charge now he drops back to 2m. Mercutio Rock should be all the wiser for the experience gained when fourth on debut here last month and can fight it out with Cheng Gong and Evan Williams' newcomer, The Boat, for the silver medal.

ANTUNES should be all the wiser for the experience gained on his fencing bow at Bangor last time and although other rivals may potentially be better treated than him on these terms, his match fitness may just give him an edge. Kim Bailey's new recruit I Can't Explain was placed in a Listed hurdle two seasons ago but has only raced once since ahead of his chase debut this afternoon, while Lieutenant Rocco, another debuting over the larger obstacles and having his first start for a new stable, has been absent since pulling up in last season's Albert Bartlett.

KAPGA DE LILY had plenty in hand when returning to winning ways at Bangor last time and it is possible she can defy a 9lb rise in the ratings to follow up. Silent Steps has successful C&D form in the book and merits a market check as she's been absent since landing back-to-back victories at Southwell in March. The best of the remainder may be No No Juliet, who picked up the silver medal off this mark when last sighted at Hereford in the spring.

Piggy Winkle did the job nicely on just his second handicap start at Market Rasen and should remain competitive off this 5lb higher mark, while Innerpickle also merits consideration following a string of solid win and placed efforts. However, CYCLOP fairly bolted up over this trip on the chase course here recently and he could prove difficult to beat switching back to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark.

ENZO D'AIRY was mightily impressive when making a winning seasonal/chasing debut at Stratford earlier this month and a 7lb penalty probably won't be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. His biggest dangers could prove to be the unexposed Eclair D'Ainay and Casa Tall, who has undergone wind surgery since his latest outing 555 days ago. Both of those are tacking fences for the first time.

CHAMPAGNESUPEROVER, who impressed at Ayr on his Rules debut before bumping into the talented Ocean Wind when third in a Newbury Listed event last season, was headed late on when second at Stratford on his hurdles debut last month. He was sent off a well-backed favourite on that occasion and his cause wasn't helped by a blunder at the second-last obstacle, but the five-year-old possesses plenty of ability and the move up in trip could suit here. Champagne Rhythm, not disgraced when fifth in a bumper here last month, picked up a silver medal when jumping hurdles for the first time at Ffos Las and could relish the testing conditions. Franco D'aunou faded late at Hereford on his debut for Venetia Williams but has plenty of experience under his belt from his time in France and is another who won't mind the forecast going.

SEXY LOT romped to a comfortable eight-and-a-half-length victory at Ffos Las earlier this month and arrives here 12lb well in having escaped a penalty for that success in a conditional jockeys' contest. He could be tough to beat if proving just as effective at this trip. Mere Anarchy chased home the thriving Main Fact on the Flat at Newbury last time and before that placed off this rating over a similar trip at Ffos Las. Frisco Bay showed improvement following wind surgery when second at Bangor and is respected, while Made For You went close at Kelso last month and is a must for the shortlist.
