Having returned to form when runner-up to a progressive rival at Kempton last month, KOCKTAIL BLEU ticks plenty of the right boxes. The pair drew 15 lengths clear of the third and a similar performance from the six-year-old might prove sufficient. They Want Me scored a shade cosily over C&D in December and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of fellow penalised runner Kaka's Cousin.

Judicial Deference is sure to prove popular given his winning handicap bow in a 17-runner affair at Haydock last month and a 7lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, it could be worth chancing the up-in-distance NOONETELLSMENOTHIN, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Catterick three weeks ago and an official mark of 108 looks workable. Kent De Thaix is also respected having found Grade 2 company too hot to handle last time.

CHASE A FORTUNE has posted two creditable runner-up efforts since landing the spoils at Wetherby in December and this could prove a suitable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Chris Grant's inmate is only 1lb higher than his latest second at Sedgefield and he gets the nod ahead of Bertie's Ballet. The Albaasil gelding is entitled to build on last month's return at Haydock, with this drop in grade expected to suit. Handicap-debutant Triple Crown Ted could also feature.

MAXIMILIAN goes handicapping for the first time over fences and ought to make his presence felt as a previous Grade 2 winner over hurdles, and Grade 1 Sefton runner-up. Bill Baxter is a previous course scorer who won at last year's Punchestown Festival in Listed company, so is another to take seriously. King Of Answers and Dare To Shout can also get involved.

Providing MILCREE doesn't bounce after making his first run for almost two years at Ayr last month a successful one, then Nicky Richards' charge could kick on and make up for lost time. He was really impressive on his chase bow and could have a lot more to offer. Queensbury Boy's second to Guard The Moon at Windsor reads well in the context of this race and he's noted along with Moon Phases.

Point-to-point winner BIG ZOUK opened his account over under Rules with a tidy round of jumping at Ayr. He should have plenty more to offer on only his second start chasing, so Nicky Richards' charge could well defy a 6lb rise. Slaney Opera scored over a similar trip at Sedgefield last month and is another open to further progress off his current mark, while Wal Buck's could land a blow if the first-time visor has the desired effect.

LION ROSE SIVOLA made a winning debut between the flags last year and shaped with plenty of promise in a bumper at Chepstow in November. With improvement likely on his second start after a wind operation, the five-year-old looks one to keep on the right side of. Second in a point-to-point, Ar Ais Aris is one to note on his debut under Rules, while The Shanachie is another to note.
