A LITTLE CHAOS is penalised for scoring at Fakenham in December, but this looks another good opening and she was impressive in beating Sula Island by some seven lengths. Queen's Magic is the main danger but she has had a few chances now and was beaten at cramped odds in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in November. Emma Lamb rates best of the rest.

LONGHOUSESIGNORA got off the mark under Rules when reverting to hurdles at Ludlow last month and another bold showing looks assured now confidence is high. Conditions, ground and trip should suit the daughter of Milan and she can get the better of Viva Vittoria, an unexposed quantity who has displayed signs of promise at Plumpton and Warwick, and Keep The River.

A few of these have some excellent form in the book, with Jimmy Rabbitte chasing a four-timer and Fairway Freddy on a hat-trick. They have gone up 10lb and 8lb respectively, though, and need to improve in this stronger contest. Ballon Onabudget remains unexposed ahead of just his second start for Tom George but this can go to POTTERS MIDNIGHT, who carried a big weight to victory at Lingfield a month ago and shouldn't be too inconvenienced by a 7lb rise. She jumps well and ought to be competitive on ground that should suit.

A match race can go the way of the in-form Alan King and CHOSEN PATH. The six-year-old stuck his neck out to land a competitive event at Newbury in December, and he looks to have more to offer over staying trips. He can land this before maybe moving into a handicap at one of the big spring festivals. Although Skipthecuddles was deemed good enough to run in a Grade 2, he was disappointing at Chepstow subsequently and arrives with a little to prove just now.

MIXCHIEVOUS doesn't have much more on his plate than when scoring at Ffos Las in December and, just 4lb higher now, there should be more to come from Venetia Williams' charge on just his second outing over fences. Brave Spartacus brings winning course form to the table and is noted, while Boss Des Mottes isn't without a squeak on the pick of his Market Rasen form, though he has an absence to overcome.

MISS AMELIA remains a maiden but did enough at Doncaster over hurdles last time to suggest she'll be winning sooner rather than later. A half-length second off a mark of 83 that day, the daughter of Midnight Legend reverts to fences off 5lb lower and a repeat performance might just be good enough. Minella Voucher's latest Taunton fourth wasn't devoid of promise and he joins Picknick Park on the shortlist.
