JESSBER'S DREAM created a favourable impression when making a winning hurdles debut at Lingfield on deep ground last month and if she's come forward for that run she should take plenty of stopping. The burden of a penalty for that success might be off-putting to some punters, but she handled similar ground with consummate ease last time out and pulled well clear of a more experienced dual bumper winner Midnight Silver. Eardisland sets the standard boasting a mark of 115 and cannot be overlooked in a first-time tongue tie, while Robinesse rates best of the rest.

FOR GOOD MEASURE is difficult to get away from officially 10lb well-in at the weights under a 7lb penalty for scoring at Uttoxeter nine days ago. An unexposed son of King's Theatre representing leading connections, he was most impressive when winning on similar ground at the Midlands venue and a clean round should suffice. Jumps Road is the fly in the ointment if ready to roll on his return in a first-time tongue tie, while both Benbecula and Exiles Return will have to step up.

A mere 4lb separates a select field of four in this graduation chase and DUNRAVEN STORM ticks more boxes than most. Philip Hobbs' charge is a winner over C&D and a Grade 2 winner over fences at Cheltenham as a novice, at the chief expense of Vibrato Valtat. Fourth behind that rival in the Haldon Gold Cup here last month, connections appear to have found their gelding a decent opening. Solar Impulse is entitled to have come forward for his run in a similar race at Haydock for last year's winning handler, while Cash And Go needs to overcome an absence and Kylemore Lough arrives buoyed by his Uttoxeter exploits.

A competitive event but it is hard to see BITOFAPUZZLE getting beaten as long as she puts in a clear round of jumping. She was only beaten half a length in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham and ended her last campaign with an impressive win in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in April. Cresswell Breeze beat a useful rival easily last time but she looks vulnerable having to give weight away to all of her rivals. Dark Spirit was decent over hurdles and she could pose the biggest threat to the selection.

Tolkeins Tango has found life tough since his impressive 19-length victory at Chepstow a year ago but he is slowly dropping to a more suitable mark. BILBROOK BLAZE did not get past the first on his chasing debut at Sandown recently but he showed ability over hurdles and he was strongly fancied in a much better race last time. Sunny Ledgend could get involved at the business end but may just need the outing today.

ACCORDING TO HARRY looked booked for a place when falling two out at Taunton last week and he can gain compensation today. He is bred to relish this sort of trip and, despite some powerful yards being represented, this is not the strongest of races. A Plein Temps won an Irish point earlier in the year and was marginally disappointing when fifth on his hurdles debut last month, but an improved display can be expected today. Highway Storm and Sweettoothtommy both showed ability in points and are also worthy of consideration.

THEPARTYSOVER was hugely impressive when winning by 16 lengths over 2m3f at Fontwell earlier in the month and if he is in the same form then a 7lb penalty, which is offset by his rider's claim, is unlikely to stop him. Proud Times is likely to have benefited from his seasonal debut and he has now dropped to his last winning mark. Hi Bronco and Karl Marx are both attractively handicapped but would also prefer better ground.
