A clear round of jumping should see MARINO PRINCE complete the four-timer. He has won his last three outings in this sphere with little fuss and it's interesting that he drops into selling company for the first time. Another emphatic victory could attract a few bidders while Leopard Hills and Ask The Oracle appear to have solid place credentials, although both need to show significant improvement to beat the selection.

Its been a week to remember for Connor O'Farrell (with wins in the Pertemps Final and Midlands Grand National) and he has a big chance onboard Laustra Bad here but, in receipt of 6lb, J'ADHERE edges the vote. The six-year-old looked better than ever when runner-up over an extended 2m at Doncaster latest and a repeat performance may suffice today. Call To Arms is another to consider on his handicap debut.

HIDDEN KEEL looks the one to beat in a competitive novices' chase. Prior to struggling in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Chase at Sandown last time, he had impressed in two starts over fences and this drop in class should see him bounce back to form. Pascha Bere was the best of these over hurdles and he has done little wrong in a couple of chase outings, while Our Bomber Harris is expected to step up on his Doncaster fourth.

Theophrastus looked right back to somewhere near his best when scoring comfortably at Folkestone latest and warrants respect despite an 11lb hike in the handicap, but preference is for Towcester winner TARABELA. Although encountering a much sounder surface than her latest victory, she won on decent ground over hurdles and is still unexposed in this sphere. Take A Mile was in fine form before his break and cannot be overlooked.

KEENAN'S FUTURE gets the vote to strike on his first outing in this sphere, despite being absent from the track since November '09. His last two outings resulted in placed efforts in Listed prizes and the fact connections have kept him going looks significant. Ask Again has won his last couple of starts under Rules and recent point-to-point form suggests that he hasn't lost any ability, while Crystal D'Ainay and Burntoakboy are old favourites who warrant respect.

It could pay to side with TORRAN SOUND in what looks a tricky 'getting out stakes' for punters. With only three starts under his belt, he remains open to plenty of improvement and the form of his fourth over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon last time looks fairly solid. Flying Award has to be respected on the back of his comfortable victory at Newton Abbot while Sedgefield winner Mauricetheathlete has claims, although dropping in trip is a worry.
