TALES OF BRAVERY has taken a step in the right direction since not running up to scratch on his first start over hurdles at Chepstow. Dan Skelton's gelding ran out a comfortable winner at Uttoxeter last month and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop him. Burano Murano won a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last Thursday and may prove to be the main threat, while Fine Fellow heads the remainder.
TALES OF BRAVERY can outclass his rivals here. The form of his latest easy win has been boosted since and he should get his own way in front at this sharp track. Burano Murano left his debut form behind when switched to testing ground last time and though this is tougher he looks the main danger. Fine Fellow placed in a bumper and should have more to offer in this discipline. He may fill the final place at a respectable distance.
Returned to form back over hurdles when well placed off a modest pace at a sharp track, beaten 4 1/4l in third in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time; effective at 3m and suited by decent ground; on a fair mark on chase form but unreliable.
He has won two hurdle races, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m to 3m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Third of 13 behind Red Risk beaten 4 1/2l at 25-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Musselburgh over 3m (good to soft) earlier this month.

BALLYCAMUS has won on his last two C&D appearances including when last seen in December and this has likely been the plan since that display. The handicapper only raised him 1lb for that success and he makes plenty of appeal once again. Minella Blueway should be suited by going this way round having jumped to his right when runner-up at Plumpton. Aboutdamntime and Beachcomber complete the shortlist.
ROCKINASTORM ran much better than the finishing figures suggest last time where he was just outstayed late over a marathon trip. That showed he still retained his spark and the course specialist has now dropped back below his last winning mark so is worth chancing on favourable drying ground. Ballycamus is another with an excellent C&D record and he defeated the selection here last time. He is entitled to be competitive off just 1lb higher while the usually consistent Prince Zaltar is also respected back on better surface.
Scored by 2 1/4l off an 8lb lower mark here on her penultimate start; ran to form when second, beaten a length off 118 last time, and is 3lb higher now. Trainer in form; effective over 2 1/2m on good; consistent and mark looks about right.
She has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 5f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 1l by Magical Maggie when second of 10 at 7-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 5f (soft) earlier this month.

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA gained the perfect confidence booster after a heavy fall over fences just before Christmas when switching back to timber at Plumpton last month. The seven-year-old remains capable of further improvement and is taken to handle a 5lb rise. Love Of Neymore has run some solid races in defeat this season, most notably when third to Ma Shantou at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, and she is respected along with Magical Maggie (first) and Masked Dance (second), who fought out the finish here earlier in the month.
I AM THE MOON outstayed her rivals last time over shorter and should be suited by this sharp track back up at 3m. A 4lb rise looks lenient and she is taken to defeat the steadily progressive Love Of Neymore who didn't get further than the start last time when well fancied. Masked Dance has been in good form at this venue recently so isn't discounted off top weight either.
Hampered by a faller when fourth beaten 19l in a handicap chase here last time; off a short break. Effective over 3m on a sound surface and a C&D winner in the autumn but inconsistent.

EVERYONESACRITIC had plenty in hand when returning to winning ways over 2m5f at Hereford a couple of weeks ago and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from following up here. Anytrixwilldo hit the crossbar over C&D when last seen in January and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Kit's Coty and Martalmix'jac are also noted.
SANDSCAPE failed to register a victory over hurdles but he his best winter efforts in that discipline have worked out well and he was fancied for a few of those contests. His yard has a good record here and his horses usually improve for the switch to fences so is he is chosen in a weak contest. Top weight Kit's Coty is unreliable but she is a C&D winner and she wasn't given a hard time after meeting trouble last time. She can fill the places with Anytrixwilldo who bounced back to form here last time and will appreciate the drying ground.
Made mistakes but ran to form when beaten 19l into third in a novice hurdle at Hereford on her most recent run. Off a short break; acts on good ground; consistent in maidens but her opening mark demands more.

Made mistakes, travelled well and may not have stayed when beaten 24l into third in a handicap chase at Warwick on his most recent run. Off a short break; best around 2m on a sound surface; in modest form and not the force of old, a weak finisher.
He has won two hurdle races and a point-to-point from 2m 3f to 3m on good ground, but last win was over three years ago. Third of 8 behind Roger Rarebit beaten 24l at 20-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Warwick over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year.

LITTLE PI was second twice before winning over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon three weeks ago and the in-form eight-year-old merits plenty of respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Jukebox Joker is another who arrives with strong form claims, following a Warwick win and Sedgefield second, while Broadway Honey should not be underestimated on her first start in handicap company.
In form LITTLE PI is fancied to defy a 3lb rise here. The drying ground is in his favour and the sharp track will suit over this longer trip. Irish raider Wakey Wakey Man is another who should appreciate this venue having been outstayed at stiff Navan last time. His UK mark could be generous and he looks the main challenger ahead of Jukebox Joker who will be dangerous if allowed his own way in front.
Improved on recent form at a favoured venue when landing a handicap by 8l off a 7lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time. Effective over 2m-2m1/2f and acts on soft and good; back in form and will remain well treated on best efforts.
Winner of five hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. A winner at 9-2 in a hurdle race at Sedgefield over 2m 4f (soft) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Dearkeithandkaty by 8l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success. Has won twice at Sedgefield this season.

It is very hard to oppose THANK YOU BLUE, who arrives here having bolted up on his last couple of starts. That includes an eight-length success over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and he is 2lb well in, despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. The rest all have questions to answer right now, but Olivia Kate and Aim Straight are the pick of them.
Thank You Blue is likely to prove popular in his hat trick bid here but he beat very little last time so will need to do better again under a 7lb penalty. He is more exposed than most in the field including RAGING AL who left his previous form behind despite an overly negative ride last time. Given his best efforts on the flat came under more forceful tactics it would be no surprise to see him frontrunning at this sharp venue. If doing so he can take advantage of a potentially lenient opening mark here. Aim Straight showed the benefit of a wind op last time and shold also be thereabouts if building on that effort in first time headgear.
