MR CLARKSON won his bumper here on New Year's Day in tenacious style having finished second to a potential star in Finian's Oscar on his sole point-to-point outing and is taken to make a winning start over hurdles. Cigarisi shaped with some promise on his debut over timber when fourth behind Asum at Taunton and should take a step forward, while Mansion is entitled to improve from his debut when beaten by William Henry at Newbury.

LATE SHIPMENT's form has improved tenfold on his last couple of starts having built on a second here when winning well at Hereford earlier this month and a 9lb rise shouldn't be an inconvenience with further scope for improvement. Aaryam takes a fair step up in distance having contested a handful of novice hurdles and merits consideration on his handicap debut along with Rescued Glory, who showed no ill-effects for a fall he had here two outings ago last time.

BOBBLE BORU has been in fantastic form over the last couple of months having won two of her last four outings and is more than capable of continuing her progression despite having a 7lb penalty to contend with. Heaven Scent could well be suited by a more patient ride than she was given at Catterick last time so is respected, while Lady Longshot has a first-time tongue tie on handicap debut which could potentially bring about a fair amount of improvement.

GRAND GOLD has done enough in recent starts to suggest a race of this nature is well within his compass. Two wins from five starts over hurdles, he will need to step up going back over fences but is on an attractive mark of 115 based on the pick of his form over timber and this wouldn't be strongest of handicap chase contests. Only Gorgeous won over C&D last time and heads the list of dangers from Ray Diamond.

The Brocade Racing-owned pair look to hold strong claims here with Obistar and BRAMBLE BROOK, with marginal preference for the latter to chalk up another victory for the imperious Colin Tizzard team. The seven-year-old was popular in the betting when pulled up here earlier this month, but the ground was bottomless that day and this better surface can see him resume his progress. Bacchanel showed mild signs of progress in maiden company and a mark of 105 looks fair for his handicap debut.

Casper King leads the way on form the claims but has has finished second in six of his seven starts under Rules and the son of Scorpion will likely be short enough for this assignment once more. The Million in Mind partnership are often shrewd with their purchases, as Paul Nicholls showed last year with Le Prezien, and CONTRE TOUS could be another smart recruit to Ditcheat. Tongue-tied for his debut, the five-year-old has some reasonable French form and could now find further improvement. Red Square Revival and Putting Green look best of the remainder.

OVER TO SAM won a point-to-point in good style last February and is expected to know his task on his Rules bow. Representing the powerful Harry Fry operation, the son of Black Sam Bellamy makes plenty of appeal on breeding and if the market vibes are strong a big performance likely beckons. Longtown showed promise when second on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and joins Big Brother George on the shortlist.
