MOORE BRION could prove a useful recruit to the hurdling ranks. The convincing winner of both starts in bumpers, Olly Murphy's charge hails from a family of winning hurdlers in France and the son of Doctor Dino is taken to keep his unbeaten record intact. Kaldoun Des Rocs has shown ability in three starts over timber. He's a likely improver on his return to the fray having undergone a wind operation, while Military Cross and Running Happy are others of interest.

DON DANDY showed bags of ability on his three starts over hurdles in France. He's switched to Olly Murphy's in-form yard since returning the comfortable winner at Compiegne in April and is fancied to defy a penalty on his reappearance. Minella Buoy also debuts for his new stable having placed in all four starts over timber in ireland, including at Listowel last month. He looks sure to get involved, while See Blue switches from the Flat and is one to note on his hurdling bow.

Sure Touch has won three times at this venue, although he disappointed when last of four over C&D last month. He's not totally discounted with blinkers added for the first time, but TOMMY'S OSCAR makes more appeal. Ann Hamilton's tough and consistent chaser should be sharper for his recent pipe-opener over 2m1f at Kelso and he looks on a workable mark back over this more suitable distance. Triple Trade could edge out Mars Harper and Ga Law for third.

A small but competitive field with The Doyen Chief heading the weights as he drops in class after pulling up in a Listed handicap at Punchestown in May. He has had wind surgery since and is up to this level, but giving 22lb to PAPER MILL seems a big ask. The 10-year-old won a lesser contest at Southwell last time and is worth a chance in this better company. Livin On Luco is not out of it either but may have to settle for third.

Noble Recall could prove popular here after winning at Worcester despite his rider losing his irons, suggesting he was value for more than the official margin. Upped 8lb by the handicapper he will need more now, and a chance is taken on WALK IN THE VALLEY. The lack of a recent race took its toll when he finished fourth over C&D on his first run in 11 months, but he should strip fitter now and has more scope than most. Gambie Tiep might follow them home.

JUSTUS was most likely feeling the exertions of a long season when tailing off at Uttoxeter 143 days ago and a summer break may have revitalised him. A reproduction of his previous runner-up effort at Hexham would make the eight-year-old tough to beat and a sixth career victory may be on the cards. Although solid recent form is thin on the ground, Lightning Flash lurks on a dangerous mark, while Kourosh is a worth a second look on his belated return.

The market is likely to prove informative in a race chock-full of newcomers, with FRANCISCO ALVARES getting a tentative vote. A 75,000-pound purchase as a foal, Dan Skelton has already enjoyed plenty of success with his bumper horses this season and further glory may be imminent. Clos Du Mouche is related to several French winners and is feared most with Sean Bowen in the plate, while the Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies-trained Beau De Maine cannot be dismissed given their current strike-rate.
