WESTERN MILLER was an impressive winner at Bangor last month and an 8lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to stop him from going very well once again. Third Act was not beaten far in a competitive enough heat at Chepstow in April and he should be in the mix once again, while Sam Noir flopped at Worcester last time but won at that venue the time before and still has potential over timber.

SYMPHONY OF ANGELS has won both of his starts over hurdles and he can make it a hat-trick today despite having to give at least 14lb to all of his rivals. Air Squadron is a useful Flat performer and he has shown promise in a couple of starts over obstacles. Mathayus and Pomme both need to improve to be successful today but the latter would be the pick of that pair.

The form of MISS CONWAY's win at Hexham last month has been boosted with the second winning since and the third has also placed again subsequently. With that in mind, it is quite surprising to see the six-year-old mare arrive here just 2lb higher in the ratings and she warrants the utmost respect. Minella Forfitness was only denied by a nose when trying to follow up his C&D win when second at Southwell last month, while Gold Ingot may be underestimated by a 6lb rise for his latest victory.

WORK IN PROGRESS made the perfect start when jumping well over C&D last month to win as he pleased by 13 lengths and this looks another straightforward task despite his main rivals receiving plenty of weight being four-year-olds. Those contenders are Magie Du Ma, an expensive purchase from France who has yet to deliver in three starts, and Nachi Falls who has enjoyed a solid recent spell on the Flat.

MAXED OUT KING shaped on his most recent start that a step back up in trip would suffice and the in-form son of Desert King can defy the rise in the weights back at 2m5f. Brave Spartacus has been knocking on the door of late and is respected on his last two outings, while Flying Eagle is a prolific winner in the point-to-point sphere and warrants consideration.

VOLNAY DE THAIX hasn't won since December 2015 when landing the odds on his chasing debut but is well handicapped on some of his old form having finished fifth off 11lb higher in the 2015 Coral Cup behind Aux Ptits Soins. The Tourard Man has been in fine form recently and wasn't disgraced behind stable companion Mia's Storm at Haydock, while Dovils Date is respected in his bid for a hat-trick.

A tricky puzzle to end the card with Olly Murphy represented by two contenders with the preference going to BANFF. The son of Papal Bull finished down the field in all three juvenile hurdles he contested which all came behind some decent individuals, including the likes of Don Bersy and Master Blueyes, and is capable of improvement now in handicap company. Magnolia Ridge and My Renaissance both command respect.
