The penny seems to have dropped for AL QEDDAAF, who was not disgraced in a Grade 1 Aintree hurdle two starts ago and just missed out over 2m 1f at Kelso last month. He has very little to find to land the spoils here. Rubipresent, second at Perth latest and on the upgrade, looks the danger while Favours Brave and Im Ova Ere Dad are not without chances.

SHILPA, a maiden winner at Huntingdon two starts ago, blew her chance when hitting the fourth last over this C&D last month but was going well at the time. Switched to handicap company today, she can make amends with a clear round. Peaceful Means just missed out last time at Fakenham and should be thereabouts once again while Keep Gunin and Crazy Bold can be given chances.

It could pay to side with SPARE ME, who returned to form with a good second over 2m at Uttoxeter this month. He's up 3lb in the weights for that effort but has scored off higher marks in the past, has won over 2m 6f here, and drops in class today. Bobble Hat Bob has been in good form of late and can run well again while Muntami may be held at the weights now but cannot be ruled out.

It Is difficult to oppose the claims of BADGER FOOT, an comprehensive Novice winner over 2m 6f at Hereford last month on his second start over fences. He takes on more experienced horses here but is up just 2lb for that win and there appears to be plenty more to come from him. The consistent Sea Venture looks the one for the forecast while Water Taxi and Hold The Bid shouldn't be too far away.

Chicago Alley was a good second at Bangor last month but is rising in the weights while Champtho is up 2lb for his head success at Bangor and has more to do today. Preference is for ITEA DU FAU, a game second over 3m at Uttoxeter last month on his second start over fences. Dropped in grade and trip and 3lb better off at the weights, she can go one better.

Towcester winner FARMER FRANK wasn't far away in fourth over 2m 1f at Cheltenham this month. He should be suited by this step up in trip and, dropped in grade, is fancied to land the spoils. Itzacliche won this last year and returns fresh from a double between the flags. He looks the danger but High Skies can be given a chance if he cuts out the jumping errors.

Alan Swinbank has an outstanding record in this sphere and can add to his tally, courtesy of SPRING SNOW, who just failed to catch the winner on his debut at Southwell last month. He has very little to find on that effort to land the spoils here and is entitled to have improved. Sweet Irony looks to be going the right way and could prove the danger while Cloudy Joe did enough on his debut at Uttoxeter to be considered.
