This looks as competitive as ever and cases can be made for plenty of the field. Heron Bay, Santa's Son and Tiger O'Toole all come here in good heart while Australia Day makes his first appearance over obstacles since last year. A previous winner over 2m at Worcester, he can be in contention if returning at his best. Preference, however, is for INVENTOR, who is looking to land the hat-trick after impressive victories over this trip at Bangor and Hexham.
Any number can be given a chance in an extremely competitive renewal. Santa's Son wasn't far off his useful chasing form when second to Inventor at Hexham recently and can gain revenge at the revised weights. Nordwind wasn't far away off this mark when runner-up at Stratford last week and ought to make his presence felt, too.

Half-sister to French Art, won twice at 1m. Beaten 8l behind Torran Sound at 20-1 when eighth of 14 on her racecourse debut over this course and distance (good to firm) last month.
TORRAN SOUND could take all the beating here. He saw off a number of these rivals over this C&D on his debut in this sphere recently and a repeat performance might suffice. Lady Pacha was narrowly held into second by the selection last time out and should not be ruled out on the revised terms. Bring Sweets and Urban Clubber make up the shortlist.
No fewer than 8 of these clashed here last month, with Torran Sound scraping home in a bunched finish. He may be able to confirm those placings despite a 6 lb penalty, but it may be worth chancing Dance For Julie, who was the best of these on the Flat. Trainer Pat Haslam won this twice in recent years, so it would be no surprise if his son Ben has also targeted it for this filly.

Donald McCain's SON OF FLICKA gets the nod here having put a disappointing Aintree effort behind him with a narrow success over 2m4f at Worcester. He had previously won at Bangor back in April and is taken to deny a rise in the ratings. Rajeh was only a short head behind the selection at Worcester and should not be dismissed lightly, while Ring Bo Ree was a comfortable winner over 2m7f at Uttoxeter and can take a hand as he drops back in trip this afternoon.
This represents something of a step up in class for Ring Bo Ree, but he's created such a good impression thus far that he can probably take it in his stride and defy a 12 lb rise in the weights. Rajeh can reverse placings with Son of Flicka from their meeting at Worcester last month and the pair can finish in the frame.

Jonjo O'Neill's charge TEMPSFORD showed a battling attitude to get up on his seasonal bow over this C&D last month. O'Neill and Tony McCoy teamed up last year to win this event with Nostringsattached and another success would come as no surprise. War Of The World needs to overcome a lengthy absence while Brooklyn Brownie makes plenty of appeal following some encouraging performances this year, including a success over 3m at Perth.
A well up-to-scratch renewal of summer jumping's centrepiece. Peter Bowen's record in the race is excellent, and Valley Ride is sure to be popular with that in mind. The feeling is, however, that he could be outdone by 2 of his countrymen, Tim Vaughan and Nigel Twiston-Davies holding strong claims with War of The World and Grand Slam Hero respectively, the former narrowly favoured.

Alan Swinbank landed this contest in 2008 and he has a leading contender in the shape of SIR FRANK this afternoon. He followed up his bumper success with a victory on his hurdling debut over 2m2f at Cartmel and recently finished second at Hexham. Russian George got off the mark in his second start in this sphere at Uttoxeter last month and looks to have taken to this sphere, while Carrifran may reward each-way backers.
Russian George beat little when opening his hurdling account at Uttoxeter recently, but his debut third looks decent form and he should prove too strong for Sir Frank. Society Venue looks clear third best.

Feeling Peckish races from out of the handicap this afternoon but he's looked in some decent form and shouldn't be overlooked. Preference, however, is for Peter Bowen's gelding BALLYVESEY, who was unlucky to bump into a classy rival over C&D earlier this month. The yard have been in fine form recently and he could be worth sticking with here. Mutual Respect won with plenty in hand at Southwell recently and rates an obvious danger.
Mutual Respect is not really one you would wanting to be lumping on at short odds, but he comes into this on the back off a career-best effort last weekend and is clearly the pick of the weights. Ballyvesey may do best of some uninspiring opponents.

Lucinda Russell's veteran SEEYAAJ has looked in good heart since his reappearance back in May. He scored over 2m at Perth before being beaten into second over this trip at Bangor and is clearly in good heart. Elite Land and Daliarose are in good form and should also be on the premises, while Viper has finished in the places in his last three starts and can't be overlooked either.
Elite Land looks to have more to offer over fences and gets the nod to follow up his recent Worcester victory at the chief expense of High Bird Humphrey and last year's winner of the race Nesnaas.
