Point-to-point winner BISHOPHILL JACK has shaped with plenty of encouragement in two of his three hurdle starts to date, running on for fifth over 2m6f at Wincanton last month, and he's one to follow now stepping into the handicap sphere off a workable mark. Sprosser likes a test and has been given a chance by the assessor having been off the track for so long, but recent Leicester second Empire Builder looks a bigger threat.
There's plenty of stamina in Empire Builder's pedigree, so he could well make significant improvement now upped in trip on handicap debut. Mtpockets is weighted to be involved if last month's Wetherby flop was a one-off, while Nabouko isn't out of it either if tuned up after a 270-day absence.
He has won three chases from 2m 1f to 2m 4f on good and good to soft ground. Pulled up at the 5th when 12-1 at Market Rasen over 2m 6f (good to soft) in a chase won by Foxesbow last month on his latest outing.

SILVER DOLLARS was at the peak of his game around the turn of the year, following up a narrow Warwick win with a runaway success over this C&D. He's up 6lb in the ratings following that latest triumph but seems to handle any ground and can complete the hat-trick. Manmoon took a heavy tumble at Plumpton last month but isn't handicapped out of it, despite being 4lb higher than for a win on his penultimate outing. Not So Sure Dick and Midnight Appeal are also considered.
Plenty of possibles in this field but Willandrich could be the one to be with back over fences. His progress over hurdles has come to a halt this winter but he has only had one chance over the bigger obstacles. It is hard to believe Midnight Appeal isn't capable of better and he can go well on his chase bow, while Quel Bruere makes some appeal also.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on good to soft and soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind Shakalakaboomboom beaten 16l at 9-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Taunton over 2m 7f (good to soft) last month.

TOPSHAM BELLE failed to figure on her chasing debut at Newbury in December but it was a different story last month at Leicester, where she again jumped a little sloppily but stayed on strongly to beat previous Ascot winner Teddy's Reflection. Having been allotted what looks a fair handicap mark and expected to appreciate good ground, Nicky Henderson's Presenting mare could take some beating. There are plenty of dangers, however, including Squadron, The Ferbane Man and chasing newcomer The Old Pretender.
Rear Gunner is respected after winning at Kempton last time, but he did endure a hard race there, and a chance is taken on chase debutant The Old Pretender, who could be well treated, and represents a yard going great guns again. The Ferbane Man is one to tread carefully with, but should be competitive if avoiding mistakes.

A MEDIA LUZ was still in front and looked the likeliest winner prior to falling two out at Kempton last month. She had previously finished second to Triumph Hurdle favourite Grandouet at Newbury, form which makes her the one to be on today, especially getting over a stone in weight from main danger Pantxoa, who shaped well when winning at Warwick but pulled too hard for his own good at Cheltenham last time. Two Kisses could prove best of the rest.
A Media Luz was still going well when coming down at Kempton last time and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark over hurdles, this sharp track sure to be right up her street. Pantxoa lost his unbeaten record in a good race at Cheltenham last time, but there may still be more to come and he rates the main danger.
He has won a hurdle race and two NH flat races from 1m 4f to 2m on good and good to soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 15 behind Wild Desert beaten 5l at 8-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Doncaster over 2m 3f (good) last month.

An open-looking contest but top weight BURNT OAK appeared to bump into a couple of well-treated Alan King representatives when third at Doncaster last month and he should be involved in the finish off just a 1lb higher mark. Towards the other end of the handicap, Musselburgh maiden winner Lastroseofsummer could be capable of going close off her current mark having been well supported at Fakenham last time. Lindy Lou and Tricky Tree are others of note.
Burnt Oak is sure to go close if building on last month's third at Doncaster but the fact he's stood such little racing over the years means he's no banker to do so, and Lastroseofsummer looks a more solid option. It would also be no surprise if the one-time useful Flat performer Superius went well in a first-time headgear combination.

Former Cheltenham Festival winner CORK ALL STAR hasn't been seen in National Hunt action since finishing second to Pomme Tiepy in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse in November 2008 but recent point-to-point performances suggest current connections have him in excellent shape. He could prove too classy for today's rivals. Aztec Warrior and the returning Gripit N Tipit are expected to put up most resistance, in what could be an informative contest of its type.
2007 Champion Bumper winner Cork All Star is fancied to make a winning debut in hunter chases on the back of 2 victories in the pointing field. Gripit N Tipit makes his first start in this sphere and could go well, while Mount Benger and Preacher Boy have been showing a bit more spark in points of late.

Nicky Henderson has an outstanding record in races of this nature and HEATHER ROYAL could claim another success for the yard. She beat Dorabelle - subsequently a dual winner over hurdles - in a Bangor 'bumper' last May and is entitled to have strengthened up during the interim. Fellow winners Baby Shine, Dream Performance and Genstone Trail are considered, with Fontwell runner-up Zahirah Moon another obvious danger.
Heather Royal and Baby Shine look above average recruits and are certain to run well, despite the burden of their penalties. There are a host of interesting newcomers of whom the market will reveal more however, with Kim Bailey's Finmerello possibly the pick that bunch.
