FEARLESS won at Market Rasen earlier in the year like a horse with a bright future and, on that evidence, looks capable of winning this race under a penalty on his return. Richard Johnson keeps the ride, which is a huge positive, and he can go in again at the main expense of Uttoxeter winner Shinobi, who has also won a bumper. Le Boulevardier has been knocking on the door in that sphere and is another expected to go well on his hurdles bow.

If I K BRUNEL runs up to his mark of 140 then the rest are probably booked for supporting roles. Olly Murphy's charge was highly tried as a hurdler last season and achieved such a rating by running fourth behind The Big Breakaway at Newbury before comfortably accounting for a pair of 135-rated hurdlers at Musselburgh. He's expected to have been well readied for this first start over fences and appeals more than Coolanly and Mason Jar.

A competitive heat and Tom Cannon might be on the winner for the second consecutive year if NEBUCHADNEZZAR can pick up from where he left off when comfortably scoring off 7lb lower at Fakenham in March. Baddesley Knight won't let the selection have it all his own way, though, judged on the pick of his chase form at the back end of last year, while chances are also given to Ena Baie and King Pellinor.

ERICK LE ROUGE won twice as a novice chaser last season, including on his first run of the season at Uttoxeter, and the six-year-old is open to further progression on just his sixth outing over fences. Imperial Presence is likely to be competitive once again having gone up 3lb for his Stratford victory in August, while Azzerti, who won fresh last season at Newbury, and Highway One O One, who returns after wind surgery, are others who boast solid credentials.

BALKO SAINT finished runner-up on his racecourse debut at Newton Abbot to prolific winner Hiconic and that experience will have done Jane Williams' gelding the world of good. He is expected to step forward on this occasion and prove too strong for Big Jimbo, who has placed on both his hurdle outings, and Treaty Of Dingle, who made the frame on her timber debut at Plumpton.

C&D winner NEVER LEARN returned to winning ways at Taunton in March and is entitled to come on for his recent comeback spin here in August, a run which will have surely blown away the cobwebs. Buster Edwards has been raised 2lb for finishing third over track and trip last time and should be thereabouts with a repeat performance, while any money for Pres, who has been off the track since striking over 3m at Ffos Las in March, would be notable.

Fit from several recent runs on the level but rated on his novice hurdle form up to 2m, MAGIC SHUFFLE is a potential improver now stepping up in distance and making his handicap debut for Sean Curran off a mark of 92. Volturnus is having his second start for Oliver Sherwood and is worth a market check on his return from a long absence, while C&D winner Hier Encore has been cut some slack by the assessor and could also figure.

SEXY LOT took a step in the right direction when runner-up at Newton Abbot in August and is expected to build on that performance now moving into a handicap on an opening mark of 94. Kerb Line has been absent since picking up minor money over 2m at Ffos Las in the spring and could appreciate this stiffer test. The pick of the remainder may be Chinwag, who makes strong appeal on his Taunton second when last sighted.
