Although he's starting to look exposed, RHYTON might be worth supporting one more time. A winner on the Flat, he made little impression on his first seven starts over hurdles but went close over this trip at Stratford last month when dropped to this grade. A repeat effort might be good enough here. Jewellery, fourth behind the selection latest, could chase him home while Robello could go close.
Both Jewellery and Rhyton have finished in the frame behind Sun Tzu in this grade of late, and they have obvious claims on paper once more, but Emerald Glade is open to stacks of improvement after an eye-catching debut over hurdles, and can take this lesser race if jumping with more fluency.
Winner of four hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 1f on ground varying from good to heavy. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-4fav here over 2m 1f (good) last month, beating Be Definite by 9l.

Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good to firm and soft ground. A winner at 4-1 in a hurdle race at Wincanton over 2m (good to firm) on his latest outing last month, beating Waldvogel by 12l. Has also won at Aintree this season.

He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 6f to 3m 2f on good to soft and soft ground, but last win was over three years ago. Pulled up 2 out when 50-1 at Wincanton over 2m 6f (good) in a hurdle race won by Flying Award earlier this month on his latest outing.

Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 2f on good to firm ground. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Master Fiddle when sixth of 14 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Newbury over 2m 3f (good) last month.

This can go the way of LAUSTRA BAD. He was a very comfortable winner over 2m1f here last month and, with the longer trip not a problem, can defy a 10lb rise in the weights to score again. The danger looks to be Midnight Opera, who won by 12 lengths at Wincanton after his main rival fell at the last, although Forest Rhythm also has claims on his best form.
Midnight Opera won by a wide-margin at Wincanton last month and gets the nod ahead of the more exposed Laustra Bad, who given his attitude is far from certain to follow up last month's success here, his first for nearly 4 years.
Successful in a hurdle race and a chase at 3m and 3m 1f on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 4-1 in a chase at Wincanton over 3m 1f (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Gentleman Jimmy by 21l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

Winner of five chases from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to heavy. Beaten a distance by Thunder Child when second of 4 at 9-4 on his latest outing in a chase at Taunton over 2m 3f (good to firm) last month. Has won at Leicester and Hereford this season.

Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m 2f and 2m 4f on good and heavy ground. Finished 12l behind Connectivity when fourth of 8 at 13-2 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Towcester over 3m (good) last month.

It's hard to rule any of these out but slight preference is for VICTORY PARADE, despite carrying 7lb extra for a 3m2f Wincanton success earlier in the month. He looks on an upward curve over fences and should be able to defy his penalty after romping home by 21 lengths. The danger could be Ours, who flopped last time but remains well weighted on his winning form. Louis Pasteur isn't out of it.
Victory Parade must be respected under a penalty for his Wincanton win, but his jumping is error prone, and She's On The Case offers a viable alternative with her mark looking potentially lenient if she takes to fences at the first time of asking.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m 1f to 2m 4f on good to firm and good ground. Well beaten at 5-2 behind Quartz De Thaix when last of 4 on his latest outing in a chase at Newton Abbot over 2m 5f (good to soft) last month. Has won at Taunton and Cheltenham this season.

She has won three hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on good to firm and good ground. Third of 6 behind Glenstal Abbey beaten 9l at 9-2 on her latest outing in a chase at Listowel over 2m 1f (good) in September last year.

It's difficult to ignore the claims of REBEL DU MAQUIS. After landing a hat-trick in style last year, he's performed with credit in tougher contests since, finishing fifth behind Medermit and Captain Chris in a Grade 1 chase at Sandown in February. With much less on his plate today, he should take all the beating. Irish raider Lady Hillingdon, winner of a modest chase at Killarney, looks the one for the forecast. Chase Gate is open to improvement.
Rebel du Maquis has conditions to suit and could be hard to catch if allowed an uncontested lead, but Lady Hillingdon arrives here in better heart, and is marginally preferred.
Successful in two chases at 2m 4f and 2m 7f on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 12-1 in a chase at Taunton over 2m 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Fresh Air And Fun by 3 1/2l.

Double Mead, a seasoned performer in races of this nature, is chasing a hat-trick, while Lord Henry has been running with credit in handicap company. Both have good claims but preference is for TAKEROC, placed twice in Grade 1 chases at his peak. Only recently introduced to these contests, he ran out a very easy winner at Leicester last month and has since found only a rejuvenated My Way De Solzen too good at Hereford.
This could develop into a 3-way fight between Lord Henry, Takeroc and Double Mead, with the first-named getting marginal preference on his debut in this sphere after showing most of his old dash when last seen in decent handicaps just over a year ago.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 3f on good to soft ground. Well beaten at 4-1 behind American Ladie when fourth of 7 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month.

A few can be given chances but preference if for MAURITINO, who escapes a penalty for his impressive 2m Wincanton success as it came in a conditional jockeys' race. He has the assistance of AP McCoy today and should be capable of following up. Allformary, another impressive Wincanton winner, looks the danger although she has to carry another 22lb today. Special Cuvee and Lucy's Perfect shouldn't be overlooked.
Allformary will be more at home back over this shorter trip and should give a good account, but Mauritino also relishes these quick conditions and is hard to get away from going unpenalised for his smooth Wincanton win recently.
