An intriguing and competitive handicap hurdle. Gwyre won a Sedgefield 2m4f novices' contest earlier this month and is one to consider on her handicap debut off a mark of 105 whilst the consistent Pokanoket also merits a place on the shortlist. ELLEN TILLEY has been disappointing so far this season but she looks quite well handicapped off a mark of 113 on the pick of her efforts last term and might be worth another chance.

ISSAQUAH posted her best effort of the season so far at Newcastle last time and she is now 2lb lower than when touched off in a competitive handicap at Aintree just under a year ago. She could be ready to strike again now. Ferdy Murphy will get the best out of Farmers Cross one day and he is not completely overlooked but he might need more time. Irish Symphony and Pegasus Prince come into this in good heart and command the utmost respect.

Mac Aeda, a bumper winner here on his debut in May last year, shaped encouragingly on his first outing over hurdles at Newcastle earlier this month and he is respected along with Laureldean River. However, slight preference is for KELLYSTOWN LAD who is likely to appreciate the step up to this trip following decent efforts over 2m1f at Sedgefield and 2m at Ayr.

Corlande has not been at the top of his game of late but could figure if returning to his best form whilst Brave Rebellion is on a decent mark if returning to form and Arctic Shadow should not be overlooked. However, a tentative verdict is awarded to RADUIS BLEU who had some decent form over hurdles last year and shaped with promise on his chasing debut over an inadequate 2m at Leicester last month.

Texas Holdem would surely have gone close had he not fallen at Ayr last time but he has something to find with these rivals on these terms. TEDDY'S REFLECTION remains open to improvement and he could provide the answer to this tricky little puzzle but a solid case can be made for both Kim Bailey's Sarde and Tim Vaughan's Baren De Doc.

Nelson's Chief was a bitterly disappointing favourite at Southwell last month and, whilst he is probably capable of much better, he does have something to prove now. Islamouth certainly has races in him and merits respect but Nicky Henderson has an outstanding record in bumpers and it could pay to side with his newcomer MASTER FIDDLE. Emperor Charlie, Dixie Bull and Himayna are other newcomers to note.
