STAR OF GUITING, who won a similar event at Exeter in December, has been consistent and probably has further success within range. He can put his superior experience to good use. Popa Rich and Mad Maxios have both been well held in previous starts but perhaps the latter can make some progress with a tongue-tie added for just his second start.

Mikimoto showed promise in his earlier starts and it would be harsh to judge him on the face value of being pulled up the last twice. Those efforts came in stiffer-looking races and the son of Scorpion could fare better dropping back in trip with a visor added. However, preference is for GROOVY BLUE, who sets the standard according to the official ratings and can progress further on just his second start after wind surgery. El Rayo also commands respect.

SMART CASUAL, who has been consistent since switching to chasing, earns the vote based on his reliability and potential to make further progress from a workable mark. Ballywood has a similar recent profile to the selection and the veteran is another must for consideration, while Mutual Respect appeals with the drop back to this trip noted as a positive factor.

HARDY BUCK failed to land a blow on last month's chasing debut and has subsequently switched trainers. Alexander Gibbons' new charge gets another chance reverting to the smaller obstacles, only 2lb higher than when finishing a creditable runner-up over timber at Fakenham in December. Gms Prince has been threatening to finally open his account and finished a respectable third over a longer trip here on his latest start, while Seek Him There may prove best of the remainder.

A dual winner over hurdles, SPRINGS A GIRL just failed to reel in the winner when runner-up at Ludlow on her handicap debut. She will appreciate this extra distance based on that evidence and gets the vote to take advantage of a potentially lenient mark. Placed here on his penultimate outing, Ithaka struggled in a much tougher contest at Ascot last month and will be more at home back in this grade, while Geordie Night isn't without a squeak.

LAGONDA lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up in her bid to complete a double at Hereford three weeks ago. Venetia Williams' veteran finished just over nine lengths ahead of the third and a 1lb rise in the ratings may prove lenient. The biggest threat may emerge from Space Voyage, who was too bad to be true when last of five at Taunton last month. The in-form Gazette Bourgeoise is the pick of the remainder.

Having posted a solid third on his debut at Wincanton in January, Constantinian is likely to give another good account. Oliver Signy's gelding should be bang there, but SHABALKO D'HERM could prove a shade too classy. The son of Balko ran out a ready winner on his sole point-to-point outing in Ireland and his pedigree possesses enough speed to think he'll be effective in this sphere. Osterberg can chase them home.
