DISCO DAISY was fancied to be competitive in a Cheltenham Listed bumper in November when finishing down the field. A winner of her sole prior outing at Chepstow last March, a replication of that kind of performance may suffice on her hurdling bow. Chatshow Host boasts form over 3m having placed at Musselburgh in January and she is capable of being in the mix, along with Idylle Sauvage.

BRENTFORD HOPE continues to progress over hurdles and arrives 5lb higher than a recent success at Newcastle. The seven-year-old doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling in this sphere yet and conditions are very much in his favour. Playful Saint finished second at Stratford earlier in the month and it wouldn't be a surprise if he went well given that was his first run for 12 months, while The Churchill Lad rates best of the rest.

ASTRONOMIC VIEW took his form to a new level when gaining his first success over hurdles by a wide margin from the reopposing My Bobby Dazzler at Warwick and an 8lb rise might not be enough to stop him from backing that performance up. The hat-trick seeking Shoeshine Boy remains open to further improvement, while others for the shortlist include Secret Trix, who may appreciate a tongue-tie being applied for the first time, and Judicial Law.

CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY left his reappearance fifth at Cheltenham in January behind him when finishing a staying-on third in a steadily-run affair over 2m4f at Kempton most recently and, eased 1lb since, this veterans' contest looks a good opportunity for him to return to the winner's enclosure. Riders Onthe Storm went close to making all over an extended 2m at Doncaster on his first start after wind surgery earlier this month, and a bold showing is once again anticipated, although his tendency to jump slightly right-handed tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Forecast conditions should hold no fears for the hat-trick seeking Thor De Cerisy and he completes the shortlist.

NO HUBS NO HOOBS hasn't looked back since being fitted with blinkers (retained) on his last two starts, scoring readily on both occasions, and a 7lb rise for his latest victory over 3m1f at Wincanton may not be enough to anchor him in his hat-trick bid. Tip Top Mountain arrives on the back of a game success off 3lb lower over 3m2f at Fontwell earlier this month, but he was all out to score and it remains to be seen how much that race has taken out of him. The step back in trip should help Duke Of Deception and he warrants respect.

In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for ROCK STEADY EDDIE, who put in a career-best performance when second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time and an opening mark of 110 should be workable on his handicap bow. Cream Of The West is an obvious threat following his most recent success, while Jalisco Star and Both Barrels are others who make the shortlist.

PILGRIMS KING made a winning return to fences over 2m3f at Doncaster earlier in the month and a 2lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up here. Nine Nine Nine was well held when third at Uttoxeter last time but he should not be underestimated in this company, while similar comments apply to Good Work.
