FREDDY'S STAR wasn't well treated at the weights in a claiming hurdle at Bangor, so to finish third was a creditable enough effort and he can strike off his current mark. Lucy's Perfect failed at Fontwell and looks best watched until she shows more away from her beloved Taunton, while Timoca isn't badly handicapped on the evidence of her Hereford third but she disappointed at Wincanton last time.
None of these is entirely convincing, but Freddy's Star is a dual C&D winner who hinted at a return to his best last time, and he is preferred to Timoca, who ought to be competitive from her current mark.
A winner of a chase at 2m 3f on good to firm ground. Well beaten at 6-1 behind Health Is Wealth when last of 4 on his latest outing in a chase at Plumpton over 2m 1f (good to firm) earlier this month.

Successful in two chases at 2m on good to firm ground. A winner at 3-1 in a chase at Towcester over 2m (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Red Jester by a neck. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

The post came in time for Beauchamp Viking at Towcester last week but a 7lb penalty won't make life any easier, while Piment D'Estruval won narrowly at Fontwell two starts ago but couldn't make the same impact off his current mark at Stratford latest. BERTENBAR was raised 10lb for winning at Fontwell in February but ran out a commanding victor at Hereford last month and though up another 10lb here, he has every chance if handling the fast ground.
Piment d'Estruval looked the winner for much of the way over 2½m last time, and can makes amends with the drop in trip sure to suit. Bertenbar will prove the biggest threat if handling much livelier conditions than he's used to.
He has won a hurdle race, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m to 3m 1f on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 2 1/4l by Maurisca when second of 8 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Haydock over 3m (good) last month.

He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 4f to 3m on good to firm and good ground. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Digital Media when eighth of 9 on his latest outing in a chase at Chepstow over 2m 3f (good) earlier this month.

Winner of five chases from 2m 6f to 3m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 10-3fav at Fontwell over 3m 4f (good) earlier this month, beating Abbey Dore by 1 3/4l.

A staying test on decent ground appears to suit RIVER INDUS and he could follow up his gutsy success at Fontwell despite a 6lb rise in the handicap. Marleybow went close on his first start for five months at Haydock last time but it might be that he's best when fresh, while American World has slipped to an attractive mark but recent efforts haven't exactly hinted that a win is in the offing.
With American World badly out of sorts, this looks best left to last-time-out winner River Indus and Marleybow, with Bob Buckler's charge preferred.
Has won eight hurdle races from 2m 3f to 3m 3f on ground varying from firm to good to soft. A winner at 5-1 in a hurdle race at Taunton over 3m (firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Perception by 3l.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on good to firm ground. Third of 10 behind The Wee Midget beaten 2l at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Hereford over 2m 6f (good to firm) earlier this month.

ORION EXPRESS made amends for unseating his rider when well backed over an extended 3m at Taunton with a ready success over the same C&D latest and, with conditions to suit again, he can defy a 5lb rise in ratings today. Bollywood has been dropped 4lb for a two-length defeat at Hereford last month and looks sure to play a leading role, while Miss Miracle is tumbling down the weights and could be poised for a big run.
Miss Miracle is on the up and unexposed over this far, but Orion Express still looks the safer option having returned to winning ways at Taunton last time.
Won on her latest outing in a hurdle race when 4-6fav at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month, beating The Bishops Baby by 1 3/4l.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good ground. Unseated rider when 9-4 at Towcester over 2m (good to firm) in a hurdle race won by Businessmoney Judi earlier this month on her latest outing.

Sara's Smile was three lengths in front of AMERICAN LADIE when scoring over an extended 2m at Chepstow last month but showed her quirks when unseating her rider last time and the latter is taken to turn the tables today. Following some disappointing efforts, the first-time blinkers seemed to do the trick for Alan King's mare when she scored at Fontwell latest and she can begin to fulfil her potential if the headgear continues to have the desired effect. Belle De Fontenay can pick up the bronze medal.
Sara's Smile will be a popular choice to confirm last month's Chepstow form with American Ladie, but the latter looked more straightforward in blinkers when opening her account last time and is fancied to gain her revenge over this longer trip.
Unplaced in all four starts. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Street Dance when fourth of 10 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Ffos Las over 2m (good) last month.

ROLANTA relished the quick ground when landing a C&D seller in good style last week and although he carries a 7lb penalty today, the fast conditions will play to his strengths again and he edges the call ahead of Mac Beattie. The latter was noted making late headway when fourth over 2m at Ffos Las last month and, with this longer trip to suit, he could have more to offer now tried in handicaps. Sir Clad wasn't beaten far over this trip at Stratford on his penultimate outing and warrants respect.
Rolanta is difficult to get away from back in a handicap under a penalty following her comfortable win in a C&D seller last week.
