The votes goes to MAGIC WAVE, who bumped into the now 135-rated Pembroke at Wetherby when last seen. The fact Mark Walford's gelding was sent off as favourite that day would suggest he had been showing up well at home, so he might be a tall order if returning at the top of his game. Pertemps Diamond's best performance came when finishing third to the useful Willlmount in a Doncaster bumper in January and although he failed to kick on thereafter, he's an interesting prospect now switched to hurdles. Hiero Sport appeals most of the remainder.

LADY GWEN escapes a penalty having landed a conditional riders' event under Kai Lenihan one week ago and that could prove vital as Kim Bailey's in-form mare bids to repeat the dose. Minella Plus continues to fall down the handicap and it would be no surprise to see an improved showing now eased in class. Climate Precedent, who makes his handicap debut from what appears to be a workable mark, is also noted.

It might pay to side with JERSEY LADY, who failed to live up to market expectations on her stable debut earlier this month. That effort ought to have blown away the cobwebs, however, and the daughter of Martaline, who stays further than this, will appreciate the step up in trip. Sinndarella was a winner at Cartmel in August and she looks a likely player from just 4lb higher. Gaye Legacy should not be underestimated either.

Last year's Coral Gold Cup hero Le Milos returns to action having run well for a long way in the Grand National before not appearing to quite get home in the closing stages. Dan Skelton's gelding is likely to need this outing ahead of bigger assignments back over the larger obstacles and the vote, therefore, goes to SPIKE JONES. Pulled up at Cheltenham last month, the six-year-old is expected to leave that performance behind him. Itchy Feet and Jet Of Magic appeal most of the remainder.

THE SAME won a maiden hurdle here in March before running with credit on a few occasions at Ffos Las. A point-to-point winner last October, the switch to chasing is likely to see him in a better light and he appears to have plenty in his favour. Pearly Island should appreciate a drop back in trip following his chasing bow at Huntingdon, while Prairie Wolf is capable of a decent showing.

Although HAUT FOLIN appeared to take some time to acclimatise to racing in the UK, Venetia Williams' gelding was quite taking when landing a first success in this country at Ffos Las recently and he should take all the beating under a 7lb penalty. Henschke regained the winning thread at Plumpton in May and the nine-year-old could give the selection most to think about off only 3lb higher, ahead of the in-form Pachacuti, who is unexposed over fences.

DENBURN was an impressive winner when opening his account on debut over C&D in May and a bumper double could be on the cards if running to a similar level on his reappearance. Representatives from the Dan Skelton yard always warrant respect at this level and any market support for newcomer Yhprum's Law would be worth noting. Stay If U Want To wasn't quite up to class 2 standards when finishing eighth at Cheltenham last month, but the four-year-old should prove more competitive here.
