This represents a drop in class for Lenebane, who is expected to improve at this level. However, she does have to shoulder top-weight, so SYR MAFFOS shades the vote. Even though he finished a rather distant fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton last month, he is now rated 3lb lower and looks the one to side with. The unexposed Princess Poppy is another to bear in mind on her handicap debut.

MY BROTHER JACK receives a handy weight-for-age allowance here and must hold every chance of building on a fair third over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month. The gelded son of Decorated Knight sports first-time cheekpieces and the booking of Brian Hughes makes the four-year-old of significant interest. Carrarea finished 57 lengths back in third over 2m5f at Warwick in March and can benefit from a shorter stamina test, while Tommouse looks the pick of the remainder.

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Fakenham last month, FIDUX is entitled to build on that dropping in class and he looks the one to side with in a fairly open contest. Although it won't be easy, he has been consistent of late and is marginally preferred to Betty Baloo, who bolted up over C&D in a weaker contest most recently. Go On Chez hasn't been seen for 182 days but has proven to run well fresh in the past.

This can go the way of SOME SCOPE, who was a major improver when stepped up in trip at Haydock and an 8lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. Runner-up in Listed company at Cheltenham last month, Zestful is entitled to be thereabouts, along with comfortable Kelso scorer Hashtag Boum. Ballintubber Boy and Exmoor Forest are not without claims either.

MISTY MANI loves it around here and her most recent second at Musselburgh hinted that she may be returning to her best form. The daughter of Sulamani continues to drop in the handicap and she may have enough to see off the likes of Bushtucker Park and Methusalar, who was a convincing winner at Bangor when last in action. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Allbetsoff, Maria Magdalena and Proper Twelve.

PILEUP couldn't build on a promising fencing debut when pulled up at Hexham last time out. He's been given a short break, however, and the cheekpieces that were worn there have now been discarded. His dam is a half-sister to the classy Put The Kettle On, which gives hope he should still thrive over the larger obstacles. Sageburg County showed plenty of ability over hurdles and he should progress further in this discipline, while recent Perth scorer Victory Echo heads the remainder.

Nicky Henderson has an admirable strike-rate when sending his horses here, and he could improve that record further with CHOCCABLOC. Having finished a good second at Chepstow on his latest outing, the gelded son of Blue Bresil is taken to go one better. Illico De Nuit demands the utmost respect for a trainer who does extremely well in these types of races, while Scrumpy also makes some appeal.
