CRUCIAL MOMENT has to carry a penalty today but the son of Pivotal has defied that to make the frame in his last two starts. This is a weaker event than those contests and there is every chance that Bill Turner's three-year-old will return to winning ways. Special Relation is an interesting Flat recruit, with Etoo Sport the pick of the remainder.

The unbeaten SUNSHADE makes plenty of appeal today following her impressive win on her hurdles debut at Ludlow three weeks ago. The daughter of Sulamani has to carry a 7lb penalty for that success but it is not hard to argue that this race is a lot weaker. Black Sam Bella appears to be the main threat, although Infinite Sun did beat a useful rival on her debut last season and she could be at her best when fresh.

MR JIM was returning from a short break when finishing third at Leicester last month and the eight-year-old appears to have a good chance today from 1lb lower in the ratings. Elkstone remains a maiden after 20 starts but he often finds himself in the mix and can do so once again today. Others to consider are Ever So Much, Iona Days and Orchestrated.

A small field but a competitive enough event, with the preference going to BARNEY DWAN. The seven-year-old has not had the best of luck over fences to date but he is very talented and has plenty in his favour at these weights. Solighoster won well at Ffos Las last month but a 7lb penalty leaves him vulnerable and that could lead to Clondaw Cian giving the selection the most to think about.

CHRISTMAS IN APRIL showed ability in some competitive maiden hurdles last season and the unexposed five-year-old is taken to making a winning handicap debut this afternoon. Huntsman Son has made the frame in both of his Rules starts to date and he makes plenty of appeal in this open evening. Lettheriverrundry and Stick To The Plan are others who make the shortlist.

TRIOPAS brings the most solid recent form to the table and did well to finish third at Newcastle having raced keenly last time. Trainer Tom Lacey has opted to use his amateur's 5lb claim which gives him an excellent chance of returning to winning form. Wells Gold took his first success at Fontwell in good style and could easily find further improvement for an in-form yard, while American Life was runner-up at Perth in the spring and could well be sweetened up by a change of yard.

There was obviously something amiss with DRUID'S DIAMOND as he pulled up after the first flight over C&D last month, but he is turned out a fortnight later and can take his first success over timber. Focaccia should find life easier at this level but has ultimately found it difficult to get off the mark, while Pixiepot is usually consistent and can bounce back to form after a below-par effort at Sedgefield last time.
