LINGER sets a clear standard on the hurdles form he has shown to date and one of his penalties is negated by Liam McKenna's 7lb claim as he makes another trip over from Ireland. Vincent's Forever set a fair standard on the Flat for John Gosden and is of interest now switched to David Pipe's yard, while Iconic Sky is open to improvement after finishing second on her hurdling bow at Fakenham in October.

BANDSMAN ran with plenty of promise on his hurdles debut when runner-up behind smart Flat performer Top Tug at Kempton and will improve for both the experience plus a step up in distance in a contest that has a decent roll of honour including Captain Cutter in 2013 and Duke Des Champs who took this 12 months ago. Blue Hussar may well benefit for a switch to hurdling having proven to be a consistent handicapper on the Flat at a decent level, while The Grinder could go well at a price having contested a decent Aintree bumper on his rules debut behind the very promising Cruiseaweigh.

BERTENBAR was rallying when falling at the last at Fakenham but that came over a sharp 2m so the extra three furlongs on a more galloping track should play to his strengths along with the first-time cheekpieces which could unlock further improvement. Brice Canyon is another who could benefit from the addition of cheekpieces and the 3lb drop for his effort at Warwick where he was third, while Vent Nivernais has to be respected.

MILLY BALOO looked to have one race too many at the back end of last season when pulled up at Hexham but this highly consistent mare should have no issue making her chase debut against rivals that all have something to prove on form. Misfits unseated early on at Doncaster last week so the quick turnaround won't be any inconvenience, while Calin Du Brizais may find improvement for the addition of cheekpieces to help him concentrate.

THE LAST BAR has proved frustrating to follow in recent weeks after failing to complete but the six-year-old is still unexposed and could be well handicapped off a mark of 110. Team Skelton do well at this venue and connections will be hoping that a drop back to 0-115 company over 2m5f does the trick. Next Edition ran well on his first start over hurdles since 2013 here last month and deserves to win again soon, while Green Zone was punted at Ayr 17 days ago but didn't perform to his true level.

FLED OR PLED is yet to prove himself on ground with 'soft' in the description but this surface should be within his reach and the four-year-old can claim a second successive victory. He was well backed when winning with ease at Towcester three weeks ago and Jamie Bargary's 3lb claim helps with the inevitable rise in the weights. Solway Sam arrives on a lower weight but doesn't have the same scope for progression as the selection, while Distant Sound and Improved look best of the remainder.

Some promising conditional riders head to Lincolnshire for the finale and perhaps Cheltenham Festival winning jockey Ryan Hatch can land the spoils with course and distance winner CRAFTY ROBERTO. The eight-year-old wears first-time blinkers and looks highly likely to be suited by a drop back to this trip. The handicapper has dropped Alex Hales' charge a further 1lb and that might help him to get the better of Jaunty Inflight, who is unpenalised for his win on Tuesday at Lingfield. Stone Quercus remains unexposed in this sphere and deserves respect.
