David Pipe's smart Flat recruit ARAB LEAGUE made a very pleasing start to life over obstacles when denied in the shadow of the post at Plumpton. That experience should bring him forward and the gelded son of Dubai Destination can make full use of the weight he receives from the returning course winner Cleaver and the Evan Williams-trained Lava Lamp. Gary Moore's Plumpton bumper winner Grabtheglory is also hard to ignore as he makes his hurdling debut.
This looks a good opening for Arab League, who was touched off on his recent debut over obstacles and will relish the longer trip. Bumper winner Grabtheglory could be the one for the forecast.
Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 1f on good to firm and good ground. Finished 4l behind Bolanderi when fourth of 14 at 5-1fav on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Worcester over 2m (good) last month.

GOOD OLD DAYS takes a drop in class and having found only one too good in a similar C&D contest off the same handicap mark back in June, Kim Bailey's 12-year-old could should be competitive at the very least. The obvious threat is chasing debutant Osmosia, who has been running quite well in defeat in novice hurdles lately. Louis Ludwig was still going well enough before unseating at Newton Abbot, while The Grey One shouldn't be far away if the selection falters.
Osmosia has performed with credit over hurdles since joining Chris Gordon and is taken to make a winning start over the larger obstacles with jumping flaws besetting her rivals.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 3f on good and heavy ground. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Cygnet when seventh of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (good to firm) last month.

OCCASIONALLY YOURS showed a really likeable attitude to fend off the classy Cockney Trucker at Worcester when last seen in June and although resuming off 7lb higher handicap mark, he is fancied to emerge on top again with conditions in his favour. Cygnet brought Geneva Geyser's unbeaten run to an end at Uttoxeter recently and a 3lb swing in the weights may not be enough for the latter to reverse the form. Tasheba, Sircozy and Fountains Flypast (won here on Friday) are other possible contenders for top spot.
Geneva Geyser has impressed in his short career to date and is taken to score his third C&D victory, although Fountains Flypast would be a danger if turning up here for a second time in as many days. Cygnet beat the selection at Uttoxeter and has place claims on revised terms.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 1f to 2m 2f on soft ground. Beaten 8l by Just Victor when second of 5 at 2-1fav on his latest outing in a chase at Worcester over 2m 4f (good) in August.

BERMUDA BOY looks the one to be on having shown a consistent level of decent form in defeat since having his attentions turned to chasing this year. Paul Nicholls' dual hurdles winner found only one too good for the third time in this code at Newton Abbot last month and deserves to get his head in front today. Helium and Vertige Dore are expected to put up most resistance, while Lidar could rediscover some sparkle now tackling fences for the first time in public.
Bermuda Boy just about sets the standard and is given another chance to get off the mark. Vertige Dore and Helium look the chief threats.
Winner of five chases from 2m 7f to 3m 2f on good to firm and good ground. Well beaten at 9-1 behind Shadow Dancer when fourth of 7 on his latest outing in a chase at Stratford over 2m 7f (good to firm) last month.

Not many can be ruled out with confidence and RHYTON is only a tentative selection. John Kington got a fine tune out of Donald McCain's four-year-old in a handicap for novices at Bangor in August and although hit with a 10lb hike in the ratings, they look a combination to stick with. Absolute Shambles must be feared as he chases a four-timer but Worcester runner-up Mr Valentino remains quite unexposed and might prove a bigger threat to the selection.
Absolute Shambles has been cleaning up since fitted with cheekpieces and sent back over hurdles. He's taken to complete a 4-timer, though Iheardu is potentially very well treated judged on his form over fences this summer. Rhyton and Tiger Line both won last time but are quirky.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good to firm ground. Finished 19l behind Persian Gates when fourth of 9 at 7-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Market Rasen over 2m 6f (good) last month.

Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good ground, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Walk Tall when fifth of 9 on her latest outing in a chase at Taunton over 2m 3f (good to soft) in December last year.

Jan Jandura has been knocking hard on the door of late and another bold bid beckons but he has no margin for error off his current mark, while similar sentiments apply to Wait No More, who has also been placed on his last three starts. It could pay to take a chance on MARC AURELE, who gave a good account of himself in both starts last month and could make the most of this drop in class.
Jan Jandura comes here in good heart and commands respect on his chasing bow, but Wait No More has done little wrong since joining Neil Mulholland and his experience could hold sway.
A winner of a NH flat race at 2m on good ground. Third of 10 behind Tahrir Square beaten 4 1/2l at 6-5fav on his latest outing in a NH flat race at Stratford over 2m (good) in June.

Douchkirk created a favourable impression when scoring at Stratford on debut but defying a penalty in these events is never easy, as John Berry's gelding found out at that same venue when last seen in June. He should be thereabouts again but it could be worth taking him on with FLEMENSGAEL, who kept on well for third once the penny dropped on his NH bow at Uttoxeter last month and he is entitled to have come on plenty for that experience. Swincombe Stone, a half-brother to useful jumper Swincombe Rock, looks the pick of the newcomers.
Given the respective merits of their yards in such contests, newcomers Reste Jeune and Swincombe Stone are afforded maximum respect, with the former getting the nod. Flemensgael appeals more than the penalised Douchkirk among the rest.
