This represents JOE MALONE's easiest task to date, and he is taken to open his account in this modest event. Samson Des Galas finished second when favourite for a similar event over 2f further on this course two weeks ago, and must be respected. Zeloso was fourth in a better race last time, and could be suited by the drop in trip today.
Useful Flat recruit SASSO opened his hurdles account in impressive fashion at Folkestone last month, and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop him this afternoon. Satin Rose showed some promise in a good race on her debut, and ran well at Catterick yesterday. Astronomical, a former stablemate of the selection, won a decent handicap over a mile at Nottingham in June and should go well.
LANMIRE TOWER has won twice over today's C&D, and landed an amateurs' handicap CHASE at Lingfield last time out. Log On Intersky was a useful performer On his day, and wasn't disgraced when third behind Hakim at Stratford in October. King's Bounty won a decent race at Kelso back in February off a mark 1lb lower than today, and cannot be ruled out.
VILLAIR is an out and out stayer, and a reproduction of his third behind Garryvoe over C&D last time, could be good enough this afternoon. Modest hurdler Bang And Blame was a big priced winner over fences last time, showing improved form in the process, and cannot be left out of calculations. Lutin Du Moulin has won twice this term, and finished third to a well handicapped rival last time.
TURGEONEV has won on this course over hurdles, and he looks very well treated compared to his chasing mark this afternoon. Smart Boy Prince was a wide margin winner over 2m here in August, and could run well under Tony McCoy today. Marsh Run is a consistent performer who ran a good race behind Irish recruit Texas Holdem at Hexham last time.
LENNON was an expensive failure over 2f further here on his hurdling debut, but this former top class bumper performer cannot be opposed this afternoon. Alphabetical finished third to the useful Denman before being outclassed at Cheltenham last time, and looks booked for second spot this time. The Frosty Ferret has not been seen since finishing a moderate third at Carlisle in April 2004 but could go well if fully tuned up.
