Pileup has adapted well to racing in a visor and, having placed over C&D in his last two starts, the six-year-old has leading claims off just 1lb higher than his latest near-miss. Black Lightning was only a length and three quarters back in third that day and also enters calculations off the same mark. However, MINELLA YOUNGY has more scope over this trip and, given he was placed in a deeper looking race last time, he shades preference today.

Expectations could be high for previous point-to-point winner ROSE IN THE PARK after she made all to win a bumper at Bangor on her Rules debut last month. The natural ability she showed as that race unfolded underpinned her trainer's post-race assertion that 'she could be a bit special' and a bold effort may be forthcoming on her hurdling bow. The consistent Ma Belle Noire is feared most, with Moon Lady and Noonie others to consider.

Sisterandbrother is capable in this discipline and makes the shortlist along with Simply Red, who should go well if she is raring to go on her first start since last October. However, this can go to last-time-out Southwell winner ALLBETSOFF, who looks the most upwardly mobile and a 4lb higher mark might not stop him going in again. Pateen has won on this card the last two years off slightly higher marks and also enters calculations, with Saturday Song another to consider.

Rocambolas gained a second success of the season when winning with something to spare at Southwell on Monday and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Preference, however, is for HONNEUR DE SIVOLA. The Clare Hobson-trained six-year-old posted another solid effort in defeat when runner-up over C&D in June and he may be able to shrug off a 5lb rise in the ratings. We'll Go Again is still unexposed as a chaser and also enters calculations off a tumbling mark.

COURTLAND continued his resurgence with another comfortable success at Worcester last month and Peter Bowen's charge may make light work of a further 7lb rise in the ratings to complete a hat-trick. Shetland Bus wasn't disgraced when second to a last-time-out winner at Southwell on Monday and the veteran could emerge as the chief threat with Brian Hughes now booked to ride. Hidden Commander is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and is another to consider.

RESTANDBETHANKFUL was an impressive winner over C&D a couple of weeks ago and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 4lb higher mark here. Croagh Patrick only found one too good off this rating at Hexham last time and that form gives him a big chance, while Marajman and Finalshot are closely matched based on their meeting here in June and they complete the shortlist.

Herewegohoney was well held last time but is a player based on her second at Stratford prior to that. However, preference is for THE BOOLA BOSS, who had plenty in hand when scoring on his most recent outing at Worcester and a 5lb rise for that success looks to be lenient. The rest all have questions to answer but The Wrekin could go well if back to his best.
