THROTHETHATCH signed off last season by finishing runner-up over an extended 2m4f over fences at Ayr and is of interest now sent back over timber on his first start for a new stable and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Courtesy Call could build on his 2m Worcester fifth latest now stepped up in trip, while Destiny's Gold is worth a market check now eased in grade and sent back over hurdles.

ALYASAN has been running to a consistent level in defeat but has arguably found better company a bit too much to handle recently. Now eased in grade and fitted with first-time cheekpieces, improvement could be forthcoming. Osgood is 5lb higher than when scoring over this trip at Plumpton last time out and is considered the main danger ahead of track and trip winner Changing The Guard, who has the cheekpieces, which were worn for his course win in March but were omitted last time, refitted.

Grade 2 winning hurdler ITS'AFREEBEE makes his chasing debut having shown a high level of form, including when a fine third behind Yorkhill in the Neptune, and Dan Skelton's charge should reach a fairly decent level over the larger obstacles this season. Rolling Maul got his career over fences back on track when winning at Bangor and looks clear best of the rest ahead of The Jugopolist.

PILANSBERG was disappointing when making his UK debut for Paul Nicholls in the Adonis Hurdle behind stablemate Zubayr at Kempton but has since been gelded and is entitled to improve for both that and the step up in distance having been a decent stayer on the Flat in France. Stage One ran well on his hurdles debut when third behind Cloudy Dream at Doncaster last November and should improve for the first-time tongue tie, while Barkis is open to further improvement from his hurdling debut last month at Worcester.

Workbench was successful at Fontwell a couple of weeks ago and a 4lb rise looks fair enough, although his last three wins have come at the unique Sussex track. KELTUS has proven himself to be a consistent performer already this season and another good effort can be expected from the six-year-old. Wadswick Court faced a stiff task in a Listed contest at Market Rasen last time out and he may be better judged on his impressive win at Cartmel the time before.

Chap has not gone on from his impressive debut bumper win and the yard appear to have much stronger claims with AL REESHA. The daughter of Kayf Tara took a big step forward when an easy 23-length winner of a bumper at Ayr back in February and she appears to have plenty in her favour today. Lou Vert merits consideration given his connections but he needs to take a step forward to be successful today. Ansaab has to merit respect given his lofty Flat rating.
