Tea Time On Mars struck over hurdles off 7lb lower in February but needs to step up on his two recent chase performances if he's to open his account over the larger obstacles. Of more interest is TRIPLE CHIEF, who has winning C&D form in the book and has dropped 7lb lower than his last winning rating. Broughtons Rhythm usually gives his running and should also be thereabouts at the business end.

Mr Clarkson has been in good order over hurdles this year and is worth monitoring closely in the betting now switching over the larger obstacles. With some solid chase form already in the book, however, DARLING MALTAIX shades the verdict. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old disappointed over 3m at Ascot last time but shaped encouragingly over 2m3f at the same venue prior to that so this drop back in trip could suit. Harry Fry's As I See It also merits a market check on his fencing bow.

Guardia Top bolted up from the front over 2m at Sandown last month but the handicapper has reacted by handing her an 11lb rise so narrow preference is for PINK LEGEND, who stayed on well to score over 2m at Southwell last time and is expected to take a 6lb rise in her stride now stepped up in trip. Gavrocheka commands respect after picking up the silver medal in a Listed juvenile hurdle at Aintree last month.

ST ERNEY showed a decent level of form in three chase outings last season and got off the mark over C&D in March on his handicap bow. An 8lb rise appears fair for the nine-year-old as he remains unexposed on his fourth career outing and could get the better of Mr Caffrey, a winner on his latest start at Bangor, and Know The Score, who can bounce back from a disappointing effort at Haydock.

BULLIONAIRE is now delivering on the promise of his bumper form as he built on a C&D third to win in fine style at Uttoxeter. Based on those performances, he could prove a tough nut to crack despite carrying a penalty. War Lord won on hurdling debut at Plumpton and ran with credit when attempting to follow up at Hereford in November. He can provide the main threat along with Sir Psycho, who receives the weight-for-age allowance and has Bryan Carver's 7lb claim to also help his chance.

KING ROLAND won two bumpers impressively last season and he only found one too good on his hurdles debut at Newbury in November. A reproduction of any of those performances should be good enough to win this contest. Thunderstruck was a bit disappointing last time out but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while Buckhorn George and Springfield Fox complete the shortlist.

TRUCKERS PASS made an encouraging debut under Rules when finishing second at Warwick in October and that form was boosted when the winner placed in a Listed bumper last month. If he improves for that experience, the six-year-old will be hard to beat. Mille Sussurri is another with valid form claims, while Atholl Street and Hooligan are the pick of the newcomers.
