Most of these are pretty exposed and it might be worth taking a punt on JANET'S PEARL off what looks a feasible mark for her handicap debut. She has only landed a seller since going over timber but has shown enough to suggest a competitive run off this perch in the weights. Momkinzain is the other handicap debutant and could be interesting but C&D winner, Leith Walk, and Northern Acres look more likely sorts in view of their reliability and consistency.
Benmadigan will be back in the winner's enclosure before long and this could be the day if the ground stays on the dry side. Leith Walk is another shaping like a future winner and needs considering, along with Northern Acres.
Successful in two chases at 3m on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 3-1 in a chase over this course and distance (good) on his latest outing in December last year, beating Soprano by 6l.

It will be fascinating to see if the money comes again for Raining Horse. Backed into short-priced favouritism here last time, the James Ewart charge came to grief at the seventh to leave him with the unenviable record of having failed to complete in four of his last five outings. He obviously has ability, but HURRICANE JACK scored with something in hand here last time and looks an altogether safer option despite an 8lb hike for that victory. Former hunter chaser Definite Appeal completes the shortlist.
Hurricane Jack may not get the same easy lead he enjoyed last time, and it's worth taking him on with Saddle Pack, who is the one in the field with the most potential now his stamina is being tested more. Definite Appeal should be thereabouts, too.

BOURNE showed a good attitude when making a successful hurdling debut at Catterick and the former useful Luca Cumani-trained Flat handicapper can preserve his unbeaten record here. He was a better sort on the level than Eagle Rock but it would not surprise to see the latter, runner-up in both his juvenile hurdle starts, put up a strong challenge in receipt of 18lb, not taking into account Henry Brooke's claim. Kaolak and Civil Unrest look next best, both having shown promise over timber.
Eagle Rock receives plenty of weight from his main rival, but Bourne is still taken to see him off, having made such a good impression at Catterick, form that has already been boosted.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good to soft and heavy ground. Finished 8l behind Gordonsville when fourth of 12 at 33-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 4f (good) in December last year.

SOPRANO, equally proficient over hurdles and fences, has confirmed recently that he's far more effective over a distance of ground and should give a good account with everything appearing to be in his favour. His last success came over timber at Kelso on good ground in November and he should prove a tough nut to crack in his current form. Vallani finds winning hard but continues to perform most creditably and should give it another good shot off this mark. Andreo Bambaleo should not be underestimated either.
A tightly-knit handicap in which it's not easy to discount many. Everaard and Vallani are 2 of those who come with undeniable claims, whilst Latin Connection has to be of interest, but Andreo Bambaleo is still unexposed for the excellent Brian Ellison and is taken to get back on the up returned to hurdles.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on soft ground. Finished 2 3/4l behind Raya Star when fifth of 16 at 20-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Ascot over 2m (soft) in December last year.

A really excellent highlight race for a good purse and GORDONSVILLE can keep the prize on home soil on a track where he has already enjoyed considerable success. The consistent dual-purpose performer scored here in early December and can remain competitive off a 7lb higher mark. Marsh Warbler may have top weight but he's really progressive and ran a cracker when a close-up fifth in The Ladboroke last time. Expect another competitive performance, with Desert Cry and Palawi also considered.
Desert Cry was much too free in face of the slack pace in the Ladbroke at Ascot, but with the likes of Marsh Warbler, Silk Drum and Palawi in the mix he should have this run much more to suit, and he is taken to build on his comeback success at Haydock. Marsh Warbler can't be discounted despite his big weight, whilst Gordonsville is going the right way for all he probably needs further.

It might be worth chancing JOHN FORBES at the weights. He's unbeaten (2-2) over fences and was in excellent form on the level in the summer, whilst a recent sharpener on the Fibresand should see him spot-on for this assignment - his handicap debut over fences. Quicuyo is in fine form at present but the handicapper will have his say sooner or later, while similar comments are attributed to Quito Du Tresor, up 8lb for his latest win at Ascot. Phidippides cannot be excluded from calculations.
Quicuyo has been in fine form of late but he won't find this as easy to dominate with opposition up front likely, so Montoya's Son is taken to reverse Doncaster form on 3 lb better terms. Premier Sagas should fare better over this more suitable trip.

Keep an eye on the market with both Nicky Richards and Donald McCain unveiling newcomers in Abbey Garth and Walk Like A Man respectively. Narrow preference is for the former, but GEORGE FERNBECK hasn't been beaten at all far in his two outings and can make the most of his racecourse experience, especially as he receives plenty of weight from the two aforementioned contenders. Irish raider Mill Bay showed up well enough on his debut to warrant consideration.
George Fernbeck has the best form of those with experience and also looks likely to cope well with the demands of this track. It could be the newcomers that give him most to do with Walk Like A Man marginally preferred to Abbey Garth.
