Arabian Oasis had Cape Hideaway (second) and Aza Run (third) in behind him when the son of Oasis Dream won here last month and he would have a leading chance if turned out immediately following his second at Carlisle on Thursday. The pair that filled the frame on that occasion should go well once again but the nod goes to SWEEPING ROCK, who bumped into an in-form rival when second at Exeter last month.

It will be one of the biggest shocks of the year if Rossington manages to overturn MOHAAYED and the flights of hurdles are probably the biggest dangers to the Dan Skelton-trained gelding. The former Irish 2000 Guineas sixth has run very respectably in the County Hurdle and Scottish Champion Hurdle in recent months and he has 60lb in hand over Rossington, despite giving him 6lb.

CENTURO was a slightly fortunate winner at Uttoxeter last October, given that the likely winner unseated it's rider just before the line, but an opening mark of 110 does not appear to be overly harsh, especially given the second from that race has won twice since and is now rated 127. Jodies Jem is another hurdles handicap debutant to note, while Anton Dolin merits respect. Others to note are Destiny's Gold, Mortens Leam and Star Foot.

Easter Day appears to be coming to the boil and built on his 2m5f Kempton fifth in February when third over 3m2f at Warwick last time. Running off a mark which is unchanged from his last race, another big run likely beckons, though preference is instead for SAFFRON WELLS, who is only 3lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last month and may be open to more improvement in cheekpieces. Penalised Kempton scorer North Hill cannot be left out of calculations either.

WHITSUNDAYS has impressively notched up a Sedgefield/Kelso double off a mark of 103 and, with the potential to improve further for the application of first-time cheekpieces, he gets the vote to defy a 6lb rise. Midnight Gem was touched off over hurdles at Ludlow last time and being thrown straight into handicap company for her chasing debut, connections presumably think she is well treated, while Starlight Court is another fencing newcomer to watch out for.

Everything points to a massive run from ROCKNROLLRAMBO, who has impressively notched up a hat-trick since mid-March and receives 8lb and upwards off these rivals. He edges the vote ahead of Ultimatum Du Roy, who arguably produced a career best performance when notching up a third course win 15 days ago, while By The Boardwalk, also a C&D scorer, and Pawn Star add further spice to the contest.

CRESSWELL LEGEND built on his promising debut performance when brushing aside subsequent winner Cockney Wren at Huntingdon and, with further improvement on the cards, he is fancied to complete the double. Second Time Around also improved from his first to second start and could put up most resistance, while Pretty Obvious, a 125,000 euro purchase as a two-year-old, is worth a market check at the very least ahead of his introduction.
