CABARET QUEEN won between the flags last December and she beat some useful rivals on that occasion. The daughter of King's Theatre was slightly disappointing on her Rules debut in a bumper but this test should be much more to her liking. A market inspection is required for Ebonys Encore on her Rules debut, while Lucca Lady and Malindi Bay are others to consider.

Zen Master is the pick of those with hurdling experience following a third-placed finish at Southwell earlier in the month. That said, the preference is for NOT THAT FUISSE, who impressively won a Warwick bumper on his racecourse debut in April. Raised On Grazeon has not been seen in over a year but she was a talented performer in bumpers and could make the frame today if she retains all of her ability.

Jonjo O'Neill unleashes JP McManus' 130,000 pound purchase DEMON D'AUNOU for his UK bow, and the french four-year-old looks full of potential with his Jackdaws castle handler scoring with a handful of his youngsters of late. Quest For Life has shaped nicely in bumpers and is a likeable recruit to hurdles, while Wotabreeze wasn't the worst performer on the Flat and is another to consider now switching discipline. Watch for any significant support for Royal Mandate who was a faller on his only other hurdles start and has since joined northern handler Rebecca Menzies.

SHRUBLAND was touched off by a neck over the extended 2m3f at Huntingdon last time out and wouldn't need to find much improvement to defy a 3lb rise. Bowie is only 2lb higher than when scoring over the extended 2m2f here in March and has strong place possibilities, while Gannicus has dropped to a workable mark and would be thereabouts if he can rediscover the form which saw him land a maiden hurdle at Fakenham in the summer.

RED RISING made a winning start on his rules debut for Dan Skelton in a novice hurdle and he could potentially prove a well handicapped individual off a mark of 120. Blue Comet has improved on his last couple of starts at the track and should be competitive off an 8lb higher mark, while It's Your Move is one to watch making his handicap debut with progression to come.

Western Miller and Bordeaux Bill both have something to prove having fallen at Sedgefield on their latest starts but both have the capabilities to go close if producing a clear round. The latter had the stronger form over hurdles but would need to step up to beat CAPITAINE. A Grade 2 winner at Ascot over timber last season, he made a good start to his chasing career at Newton Abbot and will be well suited by returning to a right handed track.

READY TOKEN has been dropped 3lb for his last run at Doncaster back in December and Paul O'Brien's 5lb claim should help matters for a handler that goes well at this time of year. Sporting Boy has gone well the last twice and deserves to land one of these events soon, while August Cartmel scorer Shake It Up is entitled to be competitive despite going up in class. Former course winner Shady Glen is another name to note.

RIPPLING WATERS is related to a German Group 3 winner and should go well here representing a handler that does well with his bumper horses. Normal Norman caught the eye at Huntingdon in a similar event earlier this month and he should have learnt plenty from that experience, while Grand Sancy represents some powerful colours for Paul Nicholls and looks to be worth a market check. The likes of Lady Maleficent and Wishmaker could prove best of the remainder.
