Bellflower Boy was in terrific form towards the end of last year but he was hit hard by the handicapper and he might find life tougher now. Firm Order has been raised 6lb for his Sandown success last month but he could go well once more, along with Huntingdon 3m2f scorer Premier Des Marais. However, a chance is taken on MOGHAAYER who has been below par on his two latest outings but will appreciate the better ground today and he can go close if bouncing back to form.
A competitive event, but Premier des Marais was impressive upped in trip last time and may be up to defying a 10 lb rise with his stable continuing in form. Five Star Wilsham and Mac Aeda are others to consider.

STEPTOE has not shown a great deal in this three runs over hurdles to date but he could prove capable of much better now tackling handicaps for the first time off a mark of just 85. Jaques Vert has been performing with credit in handicaps and he should be thereabouts but the handicapper probably has him about right at the moment. Donny Briggs is open to some improvement and he could go well with Coeur De Fou also respected for his in-form yard.
Coeur de Fou remains open to improvement over hurdles and makes his reappearance off an attractive mark. With his stable having hit form in recent days, he could prove too strong for the likes of Donny Briggs and Nouailhas.
Winner of a hurdle race, a NH flat race and three chases from 2m to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to heavy. Third of 7 behind Four Chimneys beaten 4 1/2l at 2-1jt-fav on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Punchestown over 2m 4f (heavy) in December last year.

OGEE, a Grade 1 winner over hurdles at Aintree in 2009, relishes a sound surface and although he was not at his best on his only run of the season so far at Cheltenham back in November, better can be expected today. Merigo is being targeted at the Grand National and he will certainly not want for stamina today but he does look handicapped to the hilt now. Minella Four Star, Character Building and Meanus Dandy all merit consideration in a highly competitive contest.
Several with claims in a competitive renewal. Always Right looked a handicapper on the up when winning impressively at Kelso last month, though, and is taken to defy a 12 lb rise. Minella Four Star and Presenting Forever are others worthy of serious consideration.

VERTIGE DORE was beaten in a 'jumpers' bumper' on the all-weather at Kempton last time but he had previously run out an impressive winner on his hurdling debut at Bangor and he is likely to prove tough to beat today. The consistent Rio Gael is likely to be on the premises, along with Brother Bob who was knocking on the door when last seen. Lidar is becoming frustrating but it is too early to write him off.
There are plenty of reasons to side with Vertige Dore who gets the nod over Brother Bob and C&D winner Drive Time, the latter needing to bounce back from a poor effort in a higher grade at Cheltenham.
A winner at 2-1 in a maiden NH flat race at Taunton over 2m 1f (good) on his latest outing in November last year, beating Billy Merriott by a head.

A highly competitive bumper and there are plenty of interesting contenders. Close House got off the mark at Ayr last time and he looks sure to be on the premises today. Taunton winner Hes Our Lad is also respected, along with D'Gigi and Holme Rose. However, the one to beat could be MONTBAZON who finished runner-up to the well-touted Cheltenian on his debut at Kempton and is entitled to improve with that experience under his belt.
Oscar Nominee is a most likely sort and will be of extreme interest on debut if the market speaks in his favour, but there was a lot to like about Montbazon's opening effort and he can put that experience to good use. Expensive purchase Close House is one of many potential dangers.

This looks like a perfect opportunity for LAKE LEGEND. He got off the mark over fences over 3m at Taunton last month and a reproduction of that effort would probably make him tough to beat here. Springfield Raki is generally consistent and, although he has a bit to find with the selection, he is most likely to benefit should Alan King's representative fluff his lines. Home She Goes can get the better of Indian Pipe Dream for third.
This is an excellent opportunity for Lake Legend to supplement his Taunton success, with the ungenuine Springfield Raki the only credible threat.

Pret A Thou (has a preferred engagement at Newbury today) completed a double in good style last month and has to be considered in his current form, but he could be vulnerable off a 7lb higher mark and on quicker ground today. Moon Over Miami has been running well in defeat of late and should be thereabouts again but the preference is for ELITE LAND, who has gone up 7lb in the ratings for scoring over 2m at Musselburgh last month but did the job in good style and the form looks pretty solid.
Silk Drum looked set to improve a good bit further before coming down at the last behind a progressive sort on his reappearance and can make amends here. Lease Lend may follow him home with the drop in trip in his favour, while Elite Land can also play a leading role.
