Skyjack Hijack readily brought up a four-timer when making all over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle last week and he warrants the utmost respect. That said, he may struggle to give weight and a beating to JACK BLACK. Dan Skelton's charge was far from disgraced when finishing a staying-on third in a tactically-run affair on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Newbury last season and he gets the nod to make a winning return for his in-form stable. Captain Bellamy is also noteworthy.

SORCELEUR showed up well for a long way before fading into second over an extended 2m2f here last month and, stepping back in trip with match-fitness under his belt, he should be tough to stop in his bid to go one place better. Yhprum's Law was in the process of making a solid debut over timber when coming down two from home at Carlisle and he looks the main danger. Kingston Joy will need to improve significantly for obstacles if she is to feature.

This looks a good opportunity for CAPTAIN TEAGUE to get off the mark at the first time of asking over fences. The form of his Grade 1 Challow Novices' Hurdle victory last December has a strong look to it and it will be no surprise if he is able to take similarly high rank over the larger obstacles. Point-to-point winner Deafening Silence impressed when scoring over 2m4f in a Sandown Grade 2 last term and he merits respect on his chase bow. Daring Plan has plenty to find on ratings and should find easier assignments down the line.

JPR One has progressed nicely over fences, with the seven-year-old landing a Grade 2 at Lingfield in January. The Arkle ended up being a step too far, but the combination of a wind operation and a tongue-tie should aid his cause on his return to action. The vote, though, goes to Turners third DJELO, who has won first time out for the past three seasons and Venetia Williams' gelding appears capable of further progression. Red Rum winner Sans Bruit remains open to improvement, as does Etalon.

BRENDAS ASKING was value for further than the winning distance when getting off the mark at Ludlow on her return from a break. Kim Bailey's mare is going in the right direction and appears capable of defying a 7lb rise for that success. Versace Twentyone drops back in trip for her handicap debut, which is likely to see her in a better light. It's Easy and Asian Spice complete the shortlist.

Having found only the 142-rated Hometown Boy just too strong in a novice event at Worcester, compensation could be on the cards for COCO MADEMOISELLE on this switch to handicap company. That was the six-year-old's seasonal/chase debut and a mark of 122 looks more than workable. Tea Clipper has fallen down to an attractive mark and isn't taken lightly in a first-time visor. Tom Lacey's charge is feared most, ahead of the returning Egbert.

The fitting of a first-time hood seemed to work the trick for CENTARA when landing the spoils at Taunton in April. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old has since undergone a wind procedure and, given the recent upturn in form of the yard's runners, he could make light work of a 4lb higher mark on his return to action. Zodiac Star offered plenty of encouragement when second at Ludlow and another prominent role is forecast. King Of The Road may fare best of the remainder.
