ABBREVIATE may have found conditions too testing on his last start at Leicester, when he attracted support but pulled hard before finishing third. Now encountering better ground, improvement could be forthcoming. Travertine was Group 3-placed on the level in France and is entitled to build on his hurdles debut second at Huntingdon earlier in the month, while last-time-out Ascot fourth Vivas and Two Jabs, who struck on the all-weather in November, have place claims.

HERONS HEIR turned in an improved performance when third in a novices' hurdle at Bangor last time and he may be able to progress further now switched to handicaps and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Edward Elgar arrives on a hat-trick, though this contest is tougher than the selling hurdles he's picked up at Leicester the last twice. Of more interest is Sailors Warn, who landed minor money over this trip at Sedgefield last time out.

KALANE impressed on her chasing debut at Huntingdon two starts ago and although she fell four out in a Listed contest at Doncaster last time, she rates the one to beat on these terms as she is in receipt of weight from her four rivals. Ballyalton was second in the 2014 Neptune and may still have more to offer over fences given his back class, though his two previous efforts in this sphere have been bitterly disappointing. Aso has been consistent over shorter and may benefit from this step up in trip.

Kassis warrants plenty of respect following her game Bangor success while Thinger Licht ran as though something was amiss at Perth last July and has been given plenty of time to recover from that. Gold Ingot also holds claims but SUNNY LEDGEND rates the one to beat. He showed that there is still plenty of life left in his 12-year-old legs when winning gamely at Towcester and a 3lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood.

COTILLION has impressively notched up a double, albeit at Plating level, and he might be able to strike again whilst the iron is hot. A 6lb rise for a comfortable Musselburgh success looks fair enough for Away For Slates and he should give another good account, while Great Link is one from one here and bids to exploit a lenient mark over hurdles.

TANARPINO is officially 8lb well in today shouldering a 7lb penalty for his Catterick romp and he will be well fancied to complete the double. Glenarm won pretty much as she liked on deep ground at Exeter last time and another bold bid is forecast, while course winner Milly Baloo and Ian Williams' No Ceiling add further spice to the race.
