MON PORT returned to winning ways over C&D when getting an easy lead and benefiting from the drop down in trip. He has to concede weight to all his rivals but connections appear to have found another suitable opportunity for the son of Scorpion to make it a third win over timber. Ormesher is respected after a winter break, while Al Kherb can prove more competitive on this occasion than he did in a juvenile handicap at Ascot.

PRESENT RANGER was disappointing when fancied to go close on his handicap debut at Bangor in November but a first-time tongue-tie can see him confirm the promise shown in maiden hurdles, most notably at Aintree in October. Court Out is open to improvement having had wind surgery since his latest outing, while The Butcher Said has had a wind operation along with being fitted with a hood and a tongue-tie today, which all could make the difference required.

MABELA made a winning handicap debut at Huntingdon last month and she was far from disgraced when hitting the crossbar at Ludlow 20 days ago. The daughter of Oscar will be hard to beat if reproducing either of those efforts. Salto Chisco made an encouraging return to action at Wincanton recently and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Mythical Prince.

LARCH HILL thrived over course and distance on his chasing debut earlier this month and Nigel Twiston-Davies' six-year-old is fancied to follow up having devoured the switch to fences on that occasion. Chozen has won two of his three outings in this sphere and has to be respected, while Dallas Cowboy boasts some decent form here and may be capable of another solid run.

MIDNIGHT CHILL could be the answer here having won three of his last five, finishing second on the other two occasions. He has clearly thrived since switching to fences and rates the one to beat. Gortroe Joe was pulled up when favourite for a contest won by the selection at Ludlow last month and has questions to answer now, while El Terremoto is yet to completely convince as a chaser.

ASTRACAD had his excuses for a modest showing at Wetherby last month and could bounce back here for Nigel Twiston-Davies. The veteran was previously second at Huntingdon and a winner at Newcastle in this class, and has been found a suitable opening to strike again. Zamparelli has to be taken seriously for some in-form connections after winning here two runs ago, while Kings Temptation and Wilberdragon can fight it out for third.

AKARITA LIGHTS won in this discipline when trained by John Quinn and can defy a penalty for that success now with Alan King. The five-year-old had previously finished second on two occasions, including at this venue, and can score here before making his mark over hurdles. Montego Grey was only beaten three lengths in a Listed bumper at Ascot when last seen in December, while newcomers Shah An Shah and Emphatic Qualm both merit a second look in the betting market.
