Banyan Tree was once in the care of Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle and while the stoutly-bred son of Danehill Dancer failed to make an impression in the handicap ranks latest, the drop in class will undoubtedly help. NUMEN is preferred, however and, with good novice form already in the book, the Lucy Jones inmate is expected to go well on the ground and could prove a tough nut to crack. Official ratings would suggest Ravi River won't be far behind but keep an eye on Aviso who may have improved for his first effort here in November.
Banyan Tree may have a stiff mark in handicaps but he should still be a major force in this sort of company and he can resume winning ways at the main expense of Ravi River and Numen.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase at 2m on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 3-1 in a chase at Lingfield over 2m (good) on his latest outing last month, beating All For Free by 28l.

Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 1f on good and soft ground. Beaten 4 1/2l by Peddlers Cross when second of 3 at 14-1 on his chase debut at Bangor over 2m 1f (good to soft) last month.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Pateese when 9th of 12 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Sandown over 2m (soft) last month.
THE COCKNEY MACKEM looked every inch the chaser when serving it up to Edgardo Sol at Aintree two starts ago and that particular form was done no harm when the Paul Nicholls charge reverted to timber the time after to land a valuable handicap at Cheltenham. The Nigel Twiston-Davies charge was going well at Newbury last time before unseating his jockey and another big run could be on the cards here. Get It On appeals most at the forecast prices if he can put his fall at Hereford behind him, while Darna is another to take seriously despite the burden of top weight.
The Chazer faced a very tough task against Peddlers Cross on his chasing debut but ran a good race nonetheless and can take advantage of these calmer waters. Get It On and Darna could provide the stiffest resistance.
Unplaced in all six starts over hurdles. Pulled up 2 out when 14-1 at Kempton over 3m (good) in a hurdle race won by Fontano last month on his latest outing.

Having won with plenty in hand at Uttoxeter last month, Qualitee runs 5lb well in at the weights despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. This is a career high rating, however, and at the forecast prices, it might be worth taking her on with SABLAZO. The Andrew Turnell representative scored impressively at Fontwell in November and while a 10lb hike seems harsh, James Banks takes off a useful 7lb and the step up in trip can ensure he remains one step ahead of the assessor. Bay Central makes most appeal elsewhere.
Qualitee was an impressive winner last week and looks well up to defying a penalty. Tastevin and Sablazo can follow her home.
She has won four hurdle races from 2m to 2m 3f on good to firm and good to soft ground. Won on her latest outing in a hurdle race when 7-2fav at Uttoxeter over 2m (good to soft) last month, beating Edgefour by 2l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Newton Abbot this season.

The consistent Illysantachristina is forced to carry a 7lb penalty for her winning exploits at Uttoxeter last time out and while she clearly sets the form standard at the top of the weights, it might be worth siding with the improving IF I WERE A BOY. Novice form behind Perpetually at Huntingdon three starts ago has worked out well and while her most recent spin around Kempton will have freshened her up, this could be her chance to shine. Ananda Kanda is another to be wary of and market support in particular would suggest a big run is expected.
Illysantachristina is the solid option, but there's a strong suspicion Ceannline could prove a totally different proposition now handicapping given her Flat form, and she's preferred.
Has won seven hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Well beaten at 10-1 behind Swing Bill when fourth of 13 on his latest outing in a chase at Cheltenham over 3m (good) last month.

Cheltenham Festival winner Pigeon Island must be respected at the top of the weights and the Nigel Twiston-Davies charge has now come back down to the same mark (129) to the one off which he won the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase in March 10'. Recent form is a slight concern, though, and ROSENEATH is preferred. The seven-year-old made it a winning reappearance at Hereford last month and despite receiving 8lb for his seven-length romp, he remains off an attractive mark. Simply Wings is another to keep a watchful eye on.
Rossbrin is a progressive young chaser who took another step forward when going down narrowly off this mark at Market Rasen last week. He can resume winning ways if this doesn't come too soon, though the likes of Inside Dealer and Simply Wings should ensure he doesn't have it all his own way.
Placed in a hurdle race from eight starts. Well beaten at 4-1 behind What An Oscar when last of 7 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Hereford over 2m 4f (good to soft) last month.

Maurice Linehan has more than proved his worth in the saddle of late and, boasting an 8lb claim, Hard Tackle must be taken seriously in what looks a wide-open affair. The Jonjo O'Neill charge represents the each-way value in the race but the vote goes to PLAYFUL ROSE. The Henry Daly inmate is expected to have come on for her seasonal bow at Towcester and in the first-time cheekpieces, the daughter of Luso can take this step up in trip in her stride. Forever My Friend may also get competitive when push comes to shove.
Forever My Friend, Dane Cottage and Hard Tackle all need to bounce back from disappointing runs last time, but are preferred in that order on previous evidence.

Buxom caught the eye on her debut when scoring in similar company at Fontwell and while the daughter of Milan is forced to carry a penalty in this, she is likely to give another bold account of herself. PETRARCHICK wasn't fancied on her debut when finishing third in a Hereford bumper at 50-1 but with improvement forthcoming, the Arch filly should be a serious player. Elsewhere, Jason Maguire is an interesting jockey booking aboard Whichever.
Buxom was impressive when decisively quickening away from a modest bunch at Fontwell on her debut and could be up to defying a penalty over this longer trip. Petrarchick looks sure to push her close if building on her promising start. Rhyming Sky and September Blaze look the pick of the newcomers.
