Iktiview returned to form when third at Catterick nine days ago, but Phil Kirby's charge lacks consistency and may be vulnerable now dropped in trip. Hail Tiberius, who returns from a break, has claims if putting his best foot forward, although JOHNNYS LEGACY gets the nod. Conor Dore's charge has a moderate win record (1-34) but shaped with promise at Uttoxeter last time and could get involved at this lowly level. Ghaabesh warrants a mention as well.

CONIGRE made a terrible blunder before finishing fifth at Plumpton last time but Ali Brewer's six-year-old is attractively handicapped and could figure now upped in trip if he can polish up his hurdling. Silver Dragon rates the biggest danger now returned to better ground although Airmen's Friend is worthy of plenty of respect following a promising effort after a 480-day break last time. Crookstown enters handicap company on a fair mark and couldn't be dismissed out of hand either.

A number of these may be ahead of their marks, none more so than BOBCATBILLY. Ian Williams's charge beat subsequent dual scorer King Massini at the start of the month before being caught a little flat footed at Ludlow next time. He can resume winning ways now upped in trip. Distime made a pleasing seasonal reappearance here recently and ought to go close, while the unexposed Dreams Of Milan is worthy of respect, and Shockingtimes also holds solid claims if none the worse for his recent fall at Wincanton.

A nose second over the distance at Warwick earlier this month, ORANGE NASSAU won't be for stopping at the business end of this contest and a 3lb rise for that effort seems fair. Kielan Woods' 3lb claim negates that weight rise and, after just seven starts in Britain, Charlie Longsdon's French import may be open to a little bit more improvement. Musical Wedge won well at Towcester last time out and is also considered a player, but Merlin's Wish is less exposed than the selection and he's feared most following a dominant Hexham display last month.

HOPEAND is expected to be a warm order for this novices' handicap and can successfully shoulder a 7lb penalty for her Fakenham success nine days ago. She beat the reopposing Looks Like Slim by 10 lengths on that occasion and having been in good form both here and at Southwell prior to that, it could be more of the same today. Course winner Around A Pound can also have his say.

FIGARO displayed a good level of ability on the Flat and makes plenty of appeal now going handicapping over hurdles for the first time. The ex-William Haggas inmate has shown plenty of promise in three starts over timber and was a good second behind Captain Cutter over C&D when last sighted. Dormouse is a course winner and makes some each-way appeal, while Keel Haul arrives in good nick and cannot be left out of calculations either.
