There aren't too many maiden hurdles over this trip so it could represent a perfect opportunity for a point-to-point winner to get off the mark. Ballyboker Breeze - purchased for 55,000 pounds - won between the flags in testing conditions and shaped with potential on his first start under Rules at Ayr so he may prove tough to stop. His forecast price is skinny enough, though, so perhaps PRESENTING REBEL is worth a try as his recent outing at this track wouldn't have been a sufficient stamina test and his victories in the pointing field suggest he has ability. The mare Damson Gin can take the minor honours.

A recent run over hurdles should have blown the cobwebs away for CHAVOY, who should relish these conditions and looks to have fallen to a handy mark. A leading danger could be Sharney Sike, despite his short-lived outing in the competitive Borders National, as he remains open to improvement on just his ninth chase outing. Glenwood Prince is on his last winning mark and looks ominously poised at the foot of the weights, while Blenheim Brook lowers his sights from a more competitive 0-140 handicap, but may want a sounder surface.

It's High Time hadn't played his hand when coming down in similar conditions over C&D recently and it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him bounce back and score for the second time over timber. A penalty might make him vulnerable to ANIKNAM, though, who won a bumper at this track in convincing fashion before an audacious tilt at the Punchestown Champion INH Flat Race. Phillip Kirby's inmate could only manage eighth on that occasion but wasn't completely ignored in the betting and should find conditions suitable on his hurdling bow. Central Flame and Dean's Walk bid to go one better after solid efforts in defeat and deserve market inspection.

UNO VALOROSO had the reopposing Mwangaza (finished third) in arrears when scoring cosily over C&D last month and an 8lb hike in the weights may still leave room for manoeuvre. The selection might not be afforded an easy a lead this time as Shine A Diamond has raced prominently before and reverts back to his last winning mark - a lucky victory where he was the only finisher - after flopping under penalty at Kelso.

The 11-year-old TARABELA is lightly raced over fences and a handy drop in the weights looks to have given her a great chance in this 0-100 handicap. The Kayf Tara mare landed back-to-back success over timber in February (she is rated 18lb higher over the smaller obstacles) and she is entitled to improve for a recent Chepstow outing where a mistake scuppered her chances. River D'or went agonisingly close in a three-runner event at Ffos Las and looks a leading danger to the selection, while Rojo Vivo was travelling well when unseating in a 4m event at this track in March. The Irish raider Dante Anna is worth a market check.

The three-year-old DEEP RESOLVE looks to be well treated by the terms of this race and is fancied to follow up his 13-length success over track and trip. Former C&D winner Mohawk Ridge has found life tougher since entering handicap company, but should find this a more realistic assignment after contesting a competitive 0-135 race on Betfair Chase day at Haydock. Walser and Hunters Belt weren't separated by much when they met at this venue last month and both can get on the premises again.
