Vinstar has a course success to his name, having landed an all-out success here on his penultimate start, but doesn't appear to be one of his yard's leading lights and has enough on his plate under top weight. Grandiloquent has yet to reproduce the best of his Flat form in three uninspiring starts over timber but is exceptionally well treated if Brian Ellison can coax him back to a decent level, although ARTIFICE SIVOLA is just preferred off the bottom perch, as the French import showed distinct improvement last time when inched out at Fakenham and looks on the upgrade.

Keep an eye on Gold Futures on his handicap debut for Nicky Richards and Mixed Message who's sent into handicap company after just a couple over starts over timber by Brian Ellison. Theatrelands has landed three of his last four starts, including his chase debut, but has been absent since December, so TIRADIA makes greater appeal on the back of a facile Taunton success and a 16lb hike may not be enough to halt him in this company.

OLD PALS ACT hasn't obliged in 11 starts but looks just the sort that Jonjo O'Neill will do well with this summer season. Strong market support would indicate his readiness for the task in hand. He went close on a number of occasions last term over this trip and quick ground and was far from disgraced when last seen on just his second start over fences. Dungeness fell on his only chase start last year and needs to put a below-par effort behind him, whereas Tayarat has really found form of late and rates an obvious threat.

A good, competitive turnout featuring Pepite Rose, runner-up to Sire De Grugy in the Celebration Chase at Sandown last month. She has obvious claims on that splendid effort but is set a tough task to concede weight all round and should find it quite difficult to confirm form with LANCETTO at the revised weights. The Evan Williams contender is expected to go close here, having impressed at Ascot four starts ago and will not be inconvenienced should significant rain affect the ground. Kings Grey is a useful and consistent performer who warrants shortlist inclusion along with Cedre Bleu.

Monetary Fund would have been very tempting off this mark on the best of his form but the Montjeu gelding seems to have hit something of a flat patch in recent starts, so any notable market support should be taken seriously. AZURE FLY was most disappointing last month at Cheltenham but his previous efforts, including a strong third place behind Heronry in a hot Ascot hurdle, read well in the context of this contest. He can get back on the winning track with the useful Charlie Deutsch claiming a valuable 7lb. Hopstrings and Imperial Leader are others to note.

Presenting Junior was a close-up third at Sedgefield latest and it was around this time last season that he started to really come to himself. He's best on good ground so further rain would not be in his favour and BRINGEWOOD BELLE is preferred as she seeks the hat-trick. AP McCoy is a rare booking for the Needham team but their mare is in tremendous nick at present and can defy an 11lb rise for those two April victories. The other three are closely matched on recent efforts in a trappy little affair, with Ifonlyalfie preferred for the minor placing.

Silentplan is the only winner on show but has been absent for over a year and faces some interesting sorts from yards with excellent records in such contests. Nicky Henderson has few peers in these events so Towering must be taken very seriously on debut, but KNIGHT BACHELOR is preferred from a value perspective. The Midnight Legend gelding represents the Greatrex team that also boasts a splendid strike rate of 25 per cent in bumpers over the past five years. The yard remains in strong form. Amidon is another newcomer of interest whilst Chain Of Beacons is a potential improver.
