PARMENTER made a promising start to her jumping career when finishing second at Stratford last month and while that form has not worked out too well, she is the one to beat here. Bodes Well won over 1m on the Flat and is an interesting hurdling recruit. Breakfast was also successful on the level, albeit at a lower standard, and he is another to consider.

EZANAK has filled second place in all three starts over hurdles to date but this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the five-year-old to go one better. Fields Of Fortune has been a bit disappointing so far over timber but it is too soon to be writing him off, especially as he ran well when last seen on the Flat in May. Icefall was well held on his jumping debut but he may be capable of picking up some minor money.

It is hard to oppose CAFE AU LAIT, who has been running well all year, and a 5lb rise in the ratings for his latest victory may not be enough to stop him from winning once again. Elkstone struck over C&D last month and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Call To Order is the pick of the remainder.

MRSROBIN is unbeaten in two starts since joining Dan Skelton and despite a further 8lb increase of her handicap mark, she has to be seen as the one to beat here. Cheekpieces now accompany a tongue-tie on Vinnie Red, who has had two runs since a stint between the flags and surely has races in him from his current mark. Talkonthestreet has filled the runner-up spot on his last three appearances and has to have a place on the shortlist too.

ANGE DES MALBERAUX switches back to hurdles having impressed over fences when making it two from two for Dan Skelton at Uttoxeter. He has routed the opposition on both occasions and is hard to oppose once again. Comely hasn't been seen since finishing second at Ascot in December and could easily be a lot better than her current rating, while Southwell third Jesse Jude and the visored first-time Doctor Thea are others who could figure.

Alizee Javilex has had a wind operation ahead of her stable bow for Dan Skelton and warrants consideration, while veteran Sleep In First has been in good form over the summer but probably isn't one to fully trust now at the age of 12. There was much to like about LUCKY ROBIN's first run for Brian Ellison at Southwell in June, and the six-year-old has more to offer for the Malton-based trainer now tackling handicaps.

PREMIER ROSE was a tired faller on her return to action at Uttoxeter but should have come on markedly for the outing and looks ideally suited by this extra yardage. This is a modest event and she can account for Prairie Impulse, who appeared to need the run last time, and Cyrano Star, who looks to be on a fair handicap mark now and has Brian Hughes on board for the first time since February 2017.

LONGHOUSE SALE remains unbeaten for the in-form Skelton operation and impressed when winning under a penalty at Uttoxeter last time out. The successful pointer scored here before that and looks to be a nice prospect for hurdles going forward. Juriste is related to a few handy Flat winners so should have the pace for this test with Richard Johnson on board, while Forewarning showed glimpses of promise in this sphere last season and is best of the others.
