HOMME PUBLIC has achieved a decent level of form in three hurdle outings and he is entitled to improve from his first run in the UK when runner-up at Catterick earlier in the month. Indigo Lake boasts plenty of ability and a wind operation is likely to aid his cause after disappointing on his hurdles debut at Catterick in December, while Gilbertina is respected dropping in grade after tackling Listed company at Doncaster.

MIDNIGHT GINGER shaped on her latest start when third at Fontwell as though a step up in distance would play to her strengths and she is taken to land a second victory over timber, having scored on debut at Fakenham in November. Miss Delighted returns from a lengthy absence but she had been progressive before her enforced time off and the booking of Brian Hughes suggests she is likely to be ready after a long absence. Others to note are Whiteoak Fleur, who should appreciate stepping back up in trip, and Against All Odds.

MINELLA DRAMA was just denied in a Grade 2 at Haydock last month, having won his previous two outings in comfortable fashion, and Donald McCain's gelding sets the standard with the step up in trip likely to suit him. The application of a hood should also prove to be a huge benefit and the six-year-old could prove to be a cut above the opposition. Stoner's Choice landed the hat-trick here in November and warrants plenty of respect, while Optimise Prime is unbeaten in two hurdle starts at Hereford and appears to be worth his place up in class.

Nicky Henderson's GRAN LUNA was having her first start since undergoing wind surgery when striking on her hurdles bow at Newbury in November and is expected to defy a penalty and follow up. Martello Sky makes plenty of appeal on her victory at Fakenham in December and can battle it out with Shore Shanty and Marada for the minor honours.

MISS HERITAGE has been raised 6lb for scoring over 2m at Warwick last time out but is expected to follow up that authoritative success to notch a double. Gipsy De Choisel was no match for Metier when third on his UK bow at Ascot but with that rival going on to land the Tolworth subsequently, the form has been boosted emphatically. Hat-trick seeker Ajero is unlikely to be far away at the finish either.

GETAWAY NORTH drops back in trip after scoring over 2m5f here last time but a 5lb rise appears workable and he's expected to give another good account in this slightly lower grade. Lermoos Legend has place claims if bouncing back from his tumble at Leicester, while Scartare could appreciate the step up from 2m and is another worthy of consideration for the minor money.

RINTULLA bounced back from his Uttoxeter fall when third at Warwick in December and could take some pegging back here dropped 1lb. David Bass is likely to give the gelding an aggressive ride, and the pair could prove too strong for Jones Well, who is expected to have come on for his seasonal reappearance at Fakenham last month. Shattered Glass makes his second start since a wind operation for Michael Scudamore and might also take home a share of the pot.

Fly By Milan was beaten at odds-on in November at Ayr and needs to bounce back for Nicky Richards. Has Troke was successful in this sphere in France and looks an interesting recruit to the Alex Hales yard, but a newcomer might take this in the shape of Dan Skelton's RIVER LEGEND. The Ocovango gelding is related to some nice types and his handler is 6-21 in bumpers here since 2016. Peejaybee is another debutant worth keeping an eye on.
