ROBINESSE was highly-tried last season and she gave the high-class Jessber's Dream plenty to think about at Exeter in December and if she runs up to that form today then she will not be beaten. Royal Debutante was not disgraced when behind some useful rivals here last month and she appears to be the main threat to the selection, while Indian Native is worth a look in the market on her debut for this yard.

BANDSMAN bumped into the high-class Flat recruit Top Tug at Kempton a couple of weeks ago but he beat the rest very well and it will be very difficult to keep him out of the frame this afternoon. The Blue Bomber has also been knocking on the door of late and he is only marginally passed over today. The Caller may not have beaten very much in a Fakenham bumper last month but he did it in great fashion and he looks to have a bright future ahead of him.

A very competitive heat where none of the participants can be completely discounted. That said, the clear preference is for THE ORGANIST, who won a Listed novice hurdle at Doncaster in March and she was clear when falling at the last in another competitive Listed race at Cheltenham the following month. Tara Flow got the better of the selection in a novice hurdle at Leicester in January but she has not shown the improvement that The Organist has since then, although her sole subsequent start came in a Grade 2 event. Sainte Ladylime would be the pick of the remainder.

In a race with no standout candidate the preference is for A BOY NAMED SUZI, who was last seen finishing a more than respectable third in a Class 2 event at Stratford back in May. If he is ready to go after 182 days off the track then the eight-year-old should take all the beating. Nafaath is only 2lb above his last winning mark and that success came just a few weeks ago, while Being Global could reward each-way support.

ALLOW DALLOW is not a prolific winner (one win from 16 starts under Rules) but he often runs very well and he will not find many weaker races than this for the grade. Crafty Roberto is more than capable of making his presence felt in a race of this nature, although like the selection he finds winning difficult. Goohar should be able to pick up some prize money if putting a clear round of jumping.

JACK SNIPE was touched off by a nose over the extended 2m5f at Wincanton last time but is entitled to improve for this step up in distance and may be capable of overcoming a 5lb rise. Snowball is only 2lb higher than when winning this race 12 months ago and is one to monitor closely in the betting on his return from a 129-day break, while it is possible the switch back to the smaller obstacles could suit Over My Head, as he's been dropped back down to his last winning rating.

Chti Balko has shaped with promise between the flags and Oakidoaki is entitled to improve with his debut spin at Plumpton behind him, however, the newcomers could be the ones to focus on here. Mick Channon's Glen Forsa and Warren Greatrex representative Little Chunk are two that may be capable of making their presence felt, though marginal preference is for Nicky Henderson's COLONIAL DREAMS, a 55,000-euro purchase that is a half-brother to useful hurdles winner Light Entertainment.
