Wheres The Hare landed a 2m bumper here last year but needs to improve upon both previous efforts over hurdles now stepped up slightly in trip. Of more interest is Rebecca Curtis' BRAVO BRAVO, who was a triple winner around 2m on the Flat and warrants a market check on his seasonal/hurdles debut and first run for the yard. Stablemate Hodgson steps back up in trip after a disappointing Towcester run over 2m but is a potential improver with a first-time tongue-tie fitted.

POINT BLANK returns from a 267-day break but any market support should be noted now he's dropped back in trip. The selection weakened close home over 3m at Uttoxeter last time but had scored over 2m on fast ground last summer and could thrive over this intermediate trip. Kack Handed has been raised 5lb for his last-time-out 2m victory here earlier in the month and appears the main danger ahead of Mac Halen, who is 9lb higher than his February romp at Taunton.

Thelobstercatcher drops back in trip having finished a well-held third in a small field over 3m2f here last month and it might be worth siding with AL CO, who scored impressively on his return to this sphere at Fakenham recently and has demonstrated in the past, when winning over hurdles at Uttoxeter, that the forecast faster ground holds no fears. Gambo is having his first start over fences and Charming Lad steps back up in trip to try to spark some improvement.

DUBAI CREST has dropped to within 1lb of his last winning mark at Doncaster in December and looks weighted to make his presence felt under Jeremiah McGrath. The selection was narrowly defeated on fast ground at Uttoxeter last year to suggest the forecast faster ground shouldn't hinder his chances, and he's therefore taken to get the better of last year's winner Domino Dancer (who is rated 7lb higher now) and last-time-out Warwick scorer Oran Flyer.

TARVINI demonstrated his effectiveness on fast ground when recording a wide-margin victory, albeit in a small field, at Doncaster in November. Jonjo O'Neill's representative is 7lb higher in the weights at present but remains reasonably treated on the pick of his best efforts and is capable of making his presence felt. Both Cullahill and Cold Harbour have conditions to suit but need to leave behind some disappointing recent form if they are to figure.

CONSULT's last victory came at Stratford last summer but he's been running to a very consistent level in defeat in eight outings since. Martin Keighley's representative is re-fitted with cheekpieces and needs to shrug off a 3lb rise in the weights, but is expected to run his race and gain some deserved compensation. Kayfton Pete remains 15lb higher than when scoring at Chepstow on his penultimate outing so the consistent Numen, a creditable second at Ludlow latest, is considered the main danger.

Tim Vaughan's Bucking The Trend scored between the flags earlier in the month and is respected on his first run under Rules but of more interest is SEAHAM HALL, who is a half-sister to four winners, including smart Group 3 scorer Clowance and useful bumper winner Keys. Nicky Henderson's charge should know her job first time out and warrants serious consideration, especially if popular in the betting market. Money for fellow debutant My Lad Percy, who is out of a 2m hurdles winner, would also be noteworthy.
