MILLIE OF MAYO is clearly well ahead of the handicapper at the moment and shouldn't be done progressed yet, so is expected to record her fourth straight win. She has improved no end since going handicapping and proved here last time that she's versatile in regards to trip. Liffeydale Dreamer won effortlessly at Cartmel latest but has a bit more on her plate now. She's in good form, though, and joins Redbridge Gold on the shortlist.

GOLD CLERMONT will be popular in this novice hurdle and rightly so, because she won her point-to-point readily in February and now starts off under Rules for the shrewd Tom Lacey operation. She will likely know her job given her connections and could be one to follow throughout the winter months. Fostered Phil is the main danger, judged on his good bumper form and hurdles debut second at this track, while Simple Rules rates best of the rest.

ARTIC QUEST outperformed market expectations when returning a 40-1 second on his debut for Micky Hammond at Cartmel in August. A cracking effort given he raced keenly in the early part and was hampered at the sixth flight, and he's expected to go well off just 4lb higher. Farm The Rock is slipping back down to a feasible mark and he showed more encouraging signs when fourth over C&D last month. He is noted along with Molly Whuppie.

GLINGER FLAME was progressive over timber, winning on three occasions here in the spring of 2019, before switching to fences last season and recording a victory at Ayr on his second outing. He was disappointing when last seen at Haydock but the return to hurdles could see the eight-year-old back to his best. Pagero was unable to land the four-timer at Fontwell last month but he warrants respect along with Exod'ela, who ended last season with a win at Ludlow in February.

LUCKY FLIGHT made a winning seasonal debut when getting off the mark at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles at Perth in August. He saw off some useful opposition there and makes plenty of appeal following a 5lb rise. Sao may benefit from a change of scenery as he makes his debut for Rebecca Menzies, while Some Reign made the podium off this rating at Kelso in February and is a handy operator.

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL failed to justify favouritism when last sighted at Newcastle in March but the handicapper has dropped him 1lb for finishing fourth and he's an interesting proposition now eased into this 0-105 off top-weight. Peter's Portrait is worth monitoring in the betting, having also been cut some slack by the assessor, while Costly Dream is rated only 3lb higher than when winning over C&D last month and could also figure.

ORIONINVERNESS had plenty in hand when striking over this trip at Perth last time and is expected to remain competitive while running under a 7lb penalty. Ever So Much won off this mark over hurdles here latest and could be well treated now moving back over the larger obstacles. Big runs could also be on the cards from Roll Of Thunder, No No Mac and King's Wharf.
