Previous course winner ATOMIC ANGEL has been mainly campaigned over further than this most of her career but the stiff nature of this track may see her staying on well at the finish, and she gets a tentative vote. On We Go looks a lively danger having been a revelation since switching to Gillian Boanas in the spring, while Humps And Bumps is having her first start for Danny Brooke and any market confidence behind her should be noted.

CRYSTAL GLORY was a classy performer over hurdles last season, winning a couple of times and producing some decent efforts in Graded company. He's won first time out for the past two years and could take all of the beating on his debut over the larger obstacles. Mossy Fen is having his first run for Laura Morgan having bumped into some decent sorts in three chase starts last term, while Hillview rarely seems to run a bad race and, having been narrowly denied at Wetherby last month, he's sure to strip fitter.

YOU WEAR IT WELL quickened up nicely to put daylight between herself and the rest of the field on her hurdles debut at Worcester last month and is likely to take plenty of beating. Perculator stayed on well up the Carlisle hill on bottomless ground just over a fortnight ago and is sure to be well schooled for her first try over hurdles. Serious Mickey was picked up for a relatively small sum earlier in the year having won between the flags in Ireland and is worth a market check.

MILLDAM secured a good second on his return to action last month and can improve with that in mind. He finished in mid-division in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival previously but had shown plenty in France prior to that, so it would be foolish to rule him out. Top Cloud is an interesting contender on his hurdling bow having finished a good third on his Rules debut in March, while Bingoo also merits consideration.

A case can be made for most of these, but PRINCE DUNDEE recently hinted that a stiffer stamina test could work in his favour having stayed on last time over 3m2f at Kelso. He represents a reputable stable and can make his presence felt, as can the class-dropping Dee Star, who arrives in this on a hat-trick bid and seems a big threat to the selection. Diegos Way is another who is expected to be thereabouts.

This can go the way of course specialist TRESHNISH, who returned from a 209-day break to run a fine race at Kelso last month. Sue Smith's charge is just 1lb above his last winning mark and he gets the vote ahead of Follow Your Arrow, who was a comfortable winner here over further on his penultimate start. Fourth Of July and Graystown have course form to call upon as well and must be considered.

PADDY THE HORSE deservedly got off the mark here over further last time out and returning to handicap company should not inconvenience as the seven-year-old drops in trip. A winner of all four of his starts here, Fringill Dike is a big player if bouncing back from a lacklustre effort on his handicap debut at Carlisle. Bonne Vitesse and Half Shot are likely to enter the reckoning too.
