Sea The Light gained a deserved first success over hurdles here last time and a repeat performance will elevate him into contention. Mister Quasimodo disappointed last time but would be a threat on his best form. The vote, however, goes to AZTEC WARRIOR. The gelding ran well behind Pedros Brief on his hurdling debut at Windsor last month and can improve enough here to open his account.

Hilarious made all to score over 2m 4f at Fontwell last month and she is capable of a bold showing. MICKY COLE was a points winner and he displayed plenty of promise when finishing third over 3m at Chepstow on his hurdling debut. Below his best in two runs since, he can bounce back to his best here. Gunship is eased in grade and is certainly in with a shout here.

MOSCOW WHISPER has a confidence booster over hurdles last time after hitting the deck three times in his four previous outings over fences. Clearly not the best of jumpers, he has the ability to win more races over fences and is worth another chance here. Yann's represents excellent each-way value, but a bigger threat looms in the guise of Noble Baron, who disappointed on his latest start.

The longest race on the card can fall to Martin Pipe's LOUGH DERG. The gelding opened his account over the larger obstacles at the third time of asking, ending his trainer's rare dry spell. An useful prospect over fences, he can follow up here. Amicelli is an interesting runner making a chasing debut, but recent impressive C&D winner Reflected Glory looks a more likely danger to the selection.

STAR MEMBER has won two of his three races to date over hurdles, scoring in eyecatching style over 2m 3f at Market Rasen last time. This race looks well within his range. Petwick is running well at the moment and will certainly have his supporters, while Down's Folly showed plenty of determination when opening his account over hurdles at Doncaster last time out and is another for the short-list.

MARCEL has a very impressive strike-rate over hurdles, landing a ninth victory when capturing a Grade 1 contest at Sandown 12 months ago. Sure to have been well schooled over fences, he can make his class tell this afternoon. Tony McCoy rides chasing debutant Reveillez, and this classy individual is sure to make a race of it, while the in-form yard of Paul Nicholls have strong claims with recent Fontwell runner-up Ballez.

Heather Dalton's Man of Mine cost a whopping 110,000 euros and is the pick of the newcomers in this finale. LEADING AUTHORITY has been placed in both races to date in this sphere, finishing third behind Zanzibar Boy at Chepstow last time. With further improvement assured, he can make it third time lucky. Mokujin has winning form in point-to-points and is sure to go well on his debut under NH rules.
