The drop back from three miles should suit Neville, who travelled like the winner at Kempton last time before tiring rapidly between the last two flights. He will no doubt open his account over timber in the near future, but in KILGEEL HILL he faces an above average rival who ran an excellent race behind a useful sort at Fontwell on his most recent outing. Oliver Sherwood's four-year-old is open to any amount of improvement on just his second outing over hurdles and he can land this en route to bigger and better things. Orchard Boy is the pick of a moderate looking remainder.

ERGO SUM was heavily supported and won readily over the extended 2m3f at Doncaster last time and he is open to considerable improvement on just his ninth career outing now tackling fences. He can defy his 6lb higher mark at the expense of Cloud Creeper who bumped into a vastly improved rival on his most recent outing. Yabadabadoo remains a maiden and blew what appeared to be a golden opportunity at Exeter when last sighted. He's respected on his chasing debut nonetheless, while Achimota holds solid each-way claims.

SWAMPFIRE had to survive a stewards' inquiry when breaking a two-year baron spell over C&D last time, but he displayed a determined attitude to squeeze through a narrow gap on that occasion and is tough to oppose at this level. Boston Blue was beaten just over four lengths by the selection in that contest and he appears set to chase him home once again. Similar comments apply to Spin Cast who was even further back, and he can battle it out with In The Crowd for third spot.

CARLI KING will have been sharpened up by his reappearance at Doncaster last month, in the process proving that he is still capable of making his presence felt off this mark. The booking of Richard Johnson catches the eye and he is fancied to register his third course success. Dont Do Mondays jumped with aplomb when landing a Fontwell handicap chase on his seasonal bow and is feared most. Master Rajeem has shaped with promise on his two outings over fences to date and he should be thereabouts, while Time To Think has the ability to play a part if ready to roll first time up.

SNOWELL ran encouragingly on his second outing for Emma Baker when starting out over fences at Fontwell last time and, with that experience under his belt, he can resume the progress he had been making in Ireland prior to his switch to the Naunton based handler. The Tom George yard remains in good form and Henri De Boistron is expected to improve on his Sedgefield showing having shaped as though in need of the run. Larteta rarely runs a bad race and cannot be discounted, while Vertueux completes the shortlist.

BROWNVILLE ran well for a long way having tried to make all the running in what looked a slightly deeper race than this at Ludlow last time, and he can open his account over hurdles at the third time of asking. Theregoesthetruth bolted up over track and trip last week but he will have to take a big step forward now pitched into 0-130 company. Regulation created a favourable impression on his most recent outing and he can play his part, with Orangeaday rating the pick of the remainder.
