BALLYBRIGGAN looked most impressive when landing a Wetherby bumper back in March. He looks destined to go chasing eventually but probably has a few hurdle races in him first and should be capable of opening his account over hurdles on his first try over obstacles. Hudibras won a Lingfield bumper two starts ago and is another that could go well first time over timber. City Theatre, however, has already put in a couple of decent efforts over hurdles and could be the one for the forecast. Edge Of Town might not be too far away.
City Theatre easily bettered his first effort over timber when fourth last time and has first-rate claims of getting off the mark in this sphere under similar conditions. Edge of Town and Ballybriggan could fare best of the hurdling debutants.
Well beaten at 10-1 behind Forrest Flyer when 13th of 16 on his latest outing at Newcastle over 1m 4f (soft) in May.

He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m 1f to 2m 3f on soft and heavy ground, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 22-1 when 10th of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Newcastle over 2m (soft) in December last year.

Tide Slider and Railway Park are consistent sorts dropping in class today. Both are still maidens, however, and there is no guarantee they can land that elusive first win. HARD AND FAST looked out of his depth in a 2m 5f Plumpton handicap hurdle last time out and was eventually pulled up. However, he landed a Huntingdon selling hurdle before that and although that was a modest affair his winning form might be good enough to land the spoils here.
Hard And Fast boasts strong claims on the pick of his form, but cannot be supported with any confidence following his latest dismal effort. Tide Slider is one who deserves to get his head in front over hurdles and is worth chancing with his yard in good form for his belated return. Hazy Oaks should also be thereabouts if returning in the form she was earlier in the year.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good to firm ground. Finished 17l behind Galaxy Rock when fourth of 16 at 15-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Southwell over 2m (good) in March.

SYNCHRONISED appears for the first time since falling at the last in a Listed hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. An improving sort, he won three of his previous four starts over timber and there seems every chance that his debut over the bigger obstacles today can turn into a winning one. Bluegun, pulled up in a Listed hurdle at Aintree last time out, also makes his chasing bow but is rated 5lb lower than the selection over hurdles and it's hard to see him coming out on top today at level weights. Victorias Groom has twice been placed over fences and his experience could count if the principals fail to deliver.
Bluegun and Victorias Groom set a decent standard on what they've done over fences already, but Synchronised was superior to both over hurdles and may well be up to making a successful chasing debut.
Winner of a hurdle race and five chases from 2m to 3m 6f on ground varying from good to heavy. Well beaten at 14-1 behind Antonius Caesar when 9th of 11 on his latest outing in a chase at Carlisle over 3m (good) in April.

He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m 5f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 4-11fav at Carlisle over 2m 5f (heavy) in March, beating Pass The Class by 4l.

Nirvana Swing has plenty of experience over fences and just missed out over 2m 7f at Kelso last time but has another 3lb to carry today and has something to find to get his head in front. Livingonaknifedge is another consistent sort who won off this mark last summer but has run nine times since without following up and needs to raise his game. HOCKENHEIM steps up in class after landing a beginners' chase over 2m 5f in heavy going at Carlisle last March but went about his business in impressive style that day and can follow up today off a very handy mark.
Nirvana Swing and especially Hockenheim will be dangers if their jumping holds up, but it's worth chancing the well-handicapped Samsbro on his debut for John Quinn.
Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m 1f and 2m 4f on good and soft ground. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Trenchant when 9th of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Kempton over 2m 5f (good) earlier this month.

Winner of four hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. A winner at 20-1 in a hurdle race here over 2m 3f (heavy) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Baileys Benchmark by 1/2l.

Chaim won over hurdles at Huntingdon two starts ago but has an extra 20lb to carry here and has plenty to find to claim the top prize. Chesapeake never got into the race last time over 3m 1f at Aintree but has shown himself capable of better and is weighted to run a big race here. Preference, however, is for RIVER LOGIC, chasing a hat-trick over timber. He steps up in class but looks reasonably treated by the handicapper and is entitled to strip fitter for his recent success over 2m 3f here as he was running for the first time in eight months.
The form of Chesapeake's third in a Newbury handicap back in February is strong and he's worth giving another chance after disappointing on his reappearance. Chaim can't be overlooked given he was in top form when last seen and front-runner Picaroon should make more of an impact than on his first 2 outings this term.
Successful in two chases at 2m 3f and 2m 4f on good to soft and heavy ground. A winner at 7-2 in a chase over this course and distance (heavy) on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Furze Hill by a neck. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

Take It There battled home to land the spoils by a neck over C&D this month but is up in class here and looks anchored by a 7lb penalty. The veteran Ravenscar has won off an 11lb higher mark in the past and should run his usual sound race but hasn't won for two years and looks flattered by recent form figures. He is passed over in favour of LEGENDS LASS , who was tapped for speed in a 2m 1f hurdle at Huntingdon last time but scored over 2m at Worcester before that on her chasing bow, beating Ravenscar by 13l. She's up in class and a massive 16lb here but looked to have plenty in hand and should be open to further improvement.
Take It There had more in hand than the neck margin suggests when winning here recently and can follow up, probably at the chief expense of Wherrimon.
A winner at 13-2 in a hurdle race over this course and distance (soft) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Go On Be A Lady by 7l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 5f on good to firm ground, but that win was over four years ago. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Le Brocquy when seventh of 12 on his latest outing in a selling hurdle race at Sedgefield over 2m 1f (good to firm) in June.

This should go the way of CALZAGHE, despite him having to carry a 7lb penalty for his C&D victory this month. That was his first run over hurdles for 20 months following a prolonged Flat campaign but he showed he'd lost none of his ability with a comfortable victory and should be capable of following up. Cumbrian Knight just missed out over 2m 1f at Hexham but carries another 6lb here and needs to improve to see off the selection, while Royaltea is reasonably weighted on his Hexham win but that was more than three years ago and her form following a long lay-off is less encouraging.
Calzaghe was impressive when sauntering clear over course and distance last weekend and can make light of his penalty. Cumbrian Knight looks the most likely to chase him home.
