MATTY'S GETAWAY claimed the scalp of subsequent Grade 2 winner Dalston Lad at Doncaster and although he hasn't been seen since, he has had wind surgery and looks a nice prospect. Legendary Luke didn't perform badly behind Dalston Lad in that Grade 2 here, while Le Beau Madrik never really looked like coming up to scratch at the same level at Kelso and will appreciate having his sights lowered. Padre Arthur is in receipt of weight all round, but must show more.
A good little novice where preference is for INTOSOMETHINGGOOD who is in good form and won in handicap company last time. Le Beau Madrik drops back in class here, made a good start over hurdles before that and should return to form. Padre Arthur may be third best, a progressive sort from a good yard.

WHITE NOISE has made great strides this season and went down with all guns blazing in a Warwick Grade 2. With that in mind, an SP of 40/1 for the mares' novice at the Festival was probably a bit of an insult but she belied it to make most of the running and stormed up the Cheltenham hill, so the rise from 2m1f isn't a problem. Gordon Elliott sends Torpille Dagrostis across in search of some black type and the form of her Leopardstown triumph has been boosted. Dream Shadow was a couple of positions behind the selection at Warwick and has since occupied the runner-up berth - albeit well beaten - at this level at Doncaster.
WHITE NOISE looks the obvious one here having won at the Festival and is likely to outclass her rivals. Girl Friday made a good start at Wetherby and appeals as the forecast option and Dream Shadow who is in solid form will likely fill the frame.

Riskintheground won this 12 months ago at its usual home of Cheltenham and after struggling in some hot contests, he is 1lb lower. Outlaw Peter and Tommy's Oscar have both rolled back the years recently and the former probably had the measure of Fugitif when that one came down in a veterans' final here. C&D winner The Bluesman wasn't disgraced in the Jack Richards at the Festival a couple of days after ZURICH finished fifth in the Plate there. With the winner and the runner-up fighting out the finish in the Topham last week, the Irish raider's form could be the strongest on offer.
This is a very competitive and good quality handicap. Almost any of them could feasibly win it. A chance is take with JOUR D'EVASION who seems nicely in at the weights if he is forgiven a poor run at Cheltenham last time. Outlaw Peter has had a recent revival and looks serious threat and The Bluesman may get back on course after also disappointing at Cheltenham having been running well.

Analiese continued her upward trajectory when securing a third win in her last four outings at Chepstow and must enter calculations. However, this rise in class does demand more and LA PINSONNIERE is a shade more compelling. Nicky Henderson's mare arrives on the back of a good third at Kempton and a reproduction of that effort may prove sufficient. Handicap debutant Irandando Has is a potential improver stepping up in distance, while Huffin An A Puffin should have better days ahead of him too.
A very competitive handicap hurdle and difficult to solve. The answer could be ROYAL INFANTRY who was in good form before doing too much too soon last time and comes from a yard with a good record in the race. La Pinsonniere is consistent and ran to form without settling that well last time. She is on a fair mark and can threaten again. Below The Radar is also consistent and appeals as third best.
Back to best for first chase win up in trip when landing a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m5f on a sound surface; progressing over fences and good chance.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m 4f to 3m 4f on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 3-1 in a chase over this course and distance (good to soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Iron Bridge by 6l.

Having relished a step up in trip when scoring over C&D last month, there should be more to come from KI WOO. The six-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 6lb higher mark is surmountable, with Toby McCain-Mitchell negating the majority of the rise with his 5lb claim. Fierce Warrior returned to form with a decent second at Carlisle and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Some Scope.
KI WOO looks a progressive chaser and he might be able to follow up his last-time-out C&D success when he relishe the step up to a marathon trip. He's only six and surely open to a good bit of further improvement yet. Holokea wasn't at his best in the National Hunt Chase last time but this is easier and he can go well, with third choice being Fierce Warrior, who jumped much better when returning to form at Carlisle last time.

KILWAUGHTER got the better of a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Newbury and is one to keep the right side of. The son of Milan is bred to relish this step up in trip and he could make light work of a 7lb rise. Red Risk shouldn't be far away judged on his best form this season and the veteran must not be underestimated, while Smokeringinthedark cannot be dismissed after his Newcastle triumph.
Smokeringinthedark is coming off a good win at Newcastle and should again go well but he may struggle to see off the unexposed KILWAUGHTER, who got off the mark over hurdles when scoring with a bit in hand on his handicap debut at Newbury. He ought to improve again for the further step up to 3m and can overcome a 7lb rise. Third choice is Moon Rocket, who is back hurdling having struggled over fences at the festival. This will be his second run after a wind op.

C&D winner Iron Bridge has been thereabouts the last twice, including when second over an extended 3m4f here, and he should remain competitive. Bhaloo lurks on an appealing mark and is noted, but HOLD YOUR FORT gets the vote. Debra Hamer's veteran was eased down to score comfortably in this class at Ascot on his latest outing and, if in similar form, he will prove a tough nut to crack.
Grand Geste was made too much use of when pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back at this lesser level, but the veteran HOLD YOUR FORT appeals more on this occasion. He dominated a small field at Ascot last time and, although he might have to work harder here, his mark is still fair. Iron Bridge is third choice having found his form again of late and being a strong stayer at the trip.
Still green, improved back on better ground when winning a novice hurdle at Doncaster by 3l last time; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good; progressing.
He has won two hurdle races and two NH flat races from 2m to 2m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 1-4fav at Doncaster over 2m 1f (good to soft) last month, beating Lewisham Grove by 2 3/4l. Has won twice at Doncaster this season.

Vocito outran odds of 33/1 when filling the runner-up spot at Warwick in November and is considered on his return, but it may pay to side with COUNT OF VENDOME. Donald McCain's charge is two from three this year, most recently justifying short odds at Doncaster, and he now makes his first appearance in a handicap. An opening rating of 118 might prove to be lenient. Across Earth completes the shortlist.
Count Of Vendome has been nicely progressive and should have more to offer still in handicaps but he could be vulnerable to the 4yo INNAMORATO, who was a winner two starts back before running with credit under a penalty at Newbury last time. Brandas Asking was progressive when last seen and could have a say as well assuming she's fit enough to do herself justice.
