PRINTING DOLLARS had kept good company on her first couple of starts over hurdles before getting off the mark over C&D last month. She now switches her attention to handicap company where she has the scope for improvement off a workable rating. Nearly Perfect has struggled in novice hurdles of late but could improve in this sphere, while Chase End Charlie is respected on his recent consistency.

FOR GOOD MEASURE hasn't looked a natural over fences and was disappointing twice at Cheltenham in the autumn when fancied to run well on both occasions. He was prominent in the market for the Final of this series back in 2017 and will need to be going close if he is to make the Festival. Robin Waters was disappointing on his sole chase start at Aintree but can benefit from a wind operation, while Thomas Campbell, Boyhood and Culture De Sivola complete the shortlist.

EPATANTE created a decent impression when winning on her UK debut at Kempton for Nicky Henderson back in November and she comes here looking for more experience before a crack at the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival next month. Coded Message has some solid form to boast and looks likely to be in the mix along with Darling Du Large, who can improve from her third at Leicester last month.

Plenty of these have claims but none more so than ASK DILLON, who displayed plenty of promise in bumpers but arguably took a big step forward when making a winning debut over hurdles shortly before Christmas. Accomplice won his sole start in France last year and is one to note on his debut for Paul Nicholls. Umbrigado, who is unbeaten under Rules, and Haldon Hill are others with strong form claims.

LOVE LANE has been an impressive winner of her last two starts and she appears to have a very good chance of racking up the hat-trick, despite arriving here on a career-high mark. Giveaway Glance failed to complete at Cheltenham when last seen but her previous victories give the six-year-old a shout, while Annie Mc and Dinos Benefit complete the shortlist.

COBOLOBO kept on well in the finish over 3m1f at Wincanton last time and is a potential improver now stepped up in trip and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Jepeck made a winning start for his new stable at Ffos Las in November and could have further improvement in the pipeline, for all he's been raised 17lb in the ratings. He was third in this race 12 months ago for his previous handler. Recent Market Rasen second Zerachiel has no problems on the stamina front, nor does Dawson City, who is rated 4lb higher than when winning last year's renewal. Samuel Jackson looked a dour stayer when striking in a 3m novice chase here last month and is another for the shortlist.

SKY PIRATE was still in contention when coming down two out at Cheltenham in November and if he's none the worse for that fall, he remains on a handy mark. Captain Cattistock shaped with promise on his fencing bow when third at Chepstow and is a big player now switched to a handicap. The pick of the remainder may be Another Stowaway, who recently struck at Leicester on his first start since undergoing wind surgery.

GET IN THE QUEUE bolted up by nine lengths on debut at Uttoxeter and did it with sufficient authority to suggest he could be one to keep on the right side of, even with a penalty. Eritage won a French bumper and merits a market check first time out for Paul Nicholls. Kalooki, a C&D second on New Year's Day, and Sheshoon Sonny, who is entitled to come on for his debut fourth at Wincanton, are others to bear in mind.
