Hard to be overly confident about many of these so it could be worth taking a chance on THEATRE STAGE, who makes his handicap debut. Evan Williams' charge has shaped with plenty of promise in three starts to date and goes handicapping from a very workable mark. Cougar Kid and Lady Longshot have been in order of late and should run well again, while Jaunty Inflight could go well if on a going day.

All eyes will be on smart bumper performer Lalor who rounded off last season with a Grade 2 success at the Grand National meeting. He makes obvious appeal on his hurdles debut with similar sentiments applying to Harefield, while JP McManus holds a seemingly strong hand with French import Kapcorse and point-to-point winner Onefortheroadtom. As always in these events, the market seems sure to prove a useful guide but Colin Tizzard takes the wraps off KILBRICKEN STORM and this son of Oscar looked a smart prospect when winning between the flags back in the spring.

Tom George looks to hold a strong hand here, with his JP McManus candidate and Bangor winner Cernunnos holding leading claims. He also saddles a handy second string with the veteran Kilbree Kid who rolled back the years when scoring at Perth in the summer. Alvarado is another old favourite returning and could go well on his seasonal bow, while Dueling Banjos looks well handicapped on the best of his hurdles form and was a progressive chaser during his novice campaign last year. Preference, though, is for Jonjo O'Neill's TIMEFORWEST, who ran up a hat-trick over hurdles last season and it is interesting he is pitched into handicap company over fences after just one start over the larger obstacles.

SUTTER'S MILL was well punted at Warwick last time when he came within two lengths of following up his summer Newton Abbott victory and Evan Williams' six-year-old is backed to play a leading part once again with the step back up in trip a positive. Maguire's Glen was an impressive winner at Newton Abbott last time and looks a danger if able to reproduce that form from a 10lb higher mark, while Killian Moore got a fine tune out of Dreamsoftheatre at Huntingdon and retains the reins here and can't be left off the shortlist.

MARKET ROAD went up 3lb for an easy win at Ffos Las when last seen in May and could have too much for these rivals under promising 7lb claimer Mitchell Bastyan. The penny looks to have dropped with the seven-year-old and a 150-day break might not be enough to deter this dour stayer. Eddy arrives in good form after a solid course win 12 days ago, while Cosmic Diamond gained an impressive breakthrough win at Huntingdon last time and could have more to offer.

The main attraction on the entire card has to be the dual Grade 1-winning hurdler YANWORTH's eagerly awaited chasing debut. His only blip last season came when finishing down the field behind Buveur D'air in the Champion Hurdle (subsequently disqualified) and this looks the ideal place to begin life over fences. He should prove too classy for Sternrubin, who has spent his summer on the Flat, and Behind Time, who has the scope to be a decent type over the larger obstacles.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER has a solid pedigree being a half-sister to Village Vic and comes from a yard that can get one ready for their debut - so she has to go high on the shortlist. Volcano is a half-brother to former leading juvenile hurdler Rolling Star so could prove precocious enough to make his mark, while Acey Milan is respected from a stable that do well with their bumper horses.
