TIMETOSHINE has won three times on the level in France and although comprehensively beaten on her stable debut in that discipline at Lingfield last month, she appears to have been found a great opening on her NH debut. Wotter Trotter was a shade disappointing at Newbury but a repeat of his opening fourth over C&D should put him in the picture, while Guchen and Not So Sobers also bring decent hurdles form to the table.

THANK YOU BLUE has clearly had his jumping issues, falling in two of his last three starts, but he still held every chance when coming a cropper three out at Perth last time and his stable have been firing in the winners of late. With William Shanahan taking a valuable 5lb off his back, he gets the vote ahead of chasing newcomer Stardhem, who has placed on his last couple of hurdle starts and also represents an in-form yard. Kankin completes the shortlist.

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL has shown twice in his last four starts that he is dangerous when allowed to dictate matters and, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for last week's Newcastle success, he is fancied to dominate from the front again. If there is one to pester him it could be Tigerbythetail, who warrants plenty of respect following his first Rules victory at Catterick 10 days ago. Southwell scorer Playtogetaway will be waiting to pick up the pieces if they go too hard.

DIAMONDS GALORE showed promise in her three bumper starts, placing in two of them, and she now makes her hurdling debut for the Nicky Henderson team. The daughter of Diamond Boy looks to have found a suitable opportunity and could get off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere. Betty's Tiara beat Sea Presenting (third) when she occupied the runner-up berth at Ludlow last time and she can confirm that form in order to have a say. Dramatic Encore completes the shortlist.

MORANDI SECOND produced a good effort when he finished second at Market Rasen earlier in the month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with today. Patrick Neville's six-year-old remains on a workable mark and he looks the one to beat. Dirty Den took the silver medal home at Wincanton last month and is a previous course winner to take seriously. Of the remainder, Soldier's Leap makes the most appeal.

Next Left hasn't been seen since finishing second two starts on the bounce in October and he's an obvious contender, but today's drop in trip doesn't appear to be of benefit to him. With that in mind, preference is for FLAMELCO. Sarah Humphrey's charge hasn't always been the most consistent over fences, but he impressed when scoring over C&D from 7lb lower last month and a return to that level of performance would make him a tough nut to crack. Rumoursareflying heads the remainder.

Alexandra Larose took a giant leap forward on her handicap debut last month, as she went down by a narrow margin at Leicester. A 5lb rise in the handicap shouldn't be any barrier to success and she merits respect, along with recent Market Rasen scorer Seasmoke, but the vote goes to LOVE TRUE. The five-year-old looked set to play a leading role when coming to grief two from home at Catterick recently, she was eased 1lb for her troubles and, if none the worse for that tumble, won't be far away.
