DEMOGRAPHIC was most impressive when scoring at Wincanton last month and, despite a 6lb rise in the weights, he is effectively 4lb lower when taking his rider's 10lb claim into account. With confidence high, another bold showing looks assured from this gelding, but it would be dangerous to completely ruled out the likes of Sweettoothtommy and Lillian in a competitive heat.

TROJAN STAR should be able to build on his course triumph over 2m4f last month. Only 3lb higher in the weights for what was a ready success, Kim Bailey's charge has turned a corner and can gallop these rivals into submission now dropped in distance. Winning Ticket boasts sound claims on his latest second-placed effort and heads the list of dangers from Double Treasure.

3lb claimer Alan Johns has built up a good rapport with WISTARI ROCKS and the hat-trick-seeker is difficult to get away from. Back-to-back wins at Uttoxeter will have encouraged connections and under a nice racing weight and he can continue on an upward trajectory. Herons Heir usually runs his race and has been found a decent opening, while chances are also given to New Member and Awesome Rosie.

A competitive renewal which isn't lacking intrigue and if JOSSES HILL puts it all together he should prove a tough nut to crack. A Grade 2 winner over hurdles, Nicky Henderson's charge has had his problems since but as shown at Kempton last month, when beating a useful form yardstick in Camping Ground, his jumping is definitely on the upgrade. More Of That missed his prep-run for the BetVictor Gold Cup at Cheltenham last month so is entitled to have come forward for that run at Prestbury Park, while Art Mauresque, Dodging Bullets and Tea For Two all boast claims on the pick of their form.

TOP TUG was all the rage on his hurdling bow at Kempton last month and did the business in the style his odds of 4/6 suggested he would. That form has been boosted by the second scoring with ease since and, rated 98 on the Flat, Alan King could have a useful one on his hands here. Burbank also looks to have a bright future after landing a bumper and Nicky Henderson's charge rates a leading player on his hurdles debut. Central Square, who finished just behind the selection when fourth at York in the summer, is a very interesting runner for Flat trainer Roger Varian and brings a rating of 104 from that sphere to the party.

OH MICHELLE looked like the one to take from the race when filling the runner-up berth at Ffos Las on debut last month despite being very green and shaping like he would come on a bundle for the experience. Peggies Venture is an obvious danger with his two victories at Lingfield sandwiching a half-length defeat at Fontwell and another big run beckons. Appy Days also arrives on the back of a success on Lingfield's Polytrack and Epic Ethel must be considered after making a winning start at Worcester.

Copperfacejack has leading claims on the form book after three consecutive runner-up finishes and should be thereabouts again, but he remains a maiden and similar comments apply to Solstice Dawn, who has also run some good races in defeat. With that in mind, MRSROBIN's 3m2f victory at Newton Abbot in August stands out and although he is 7lb higher in the ratings now, he gets the vote stepping back up in trip.
