Collingham sets the standard here but he could be vulnerable having to concede a 6lb penalty for his C&D success in November. Therefore, preference is for INDIVIDUALISTE, who hinted at promise on the Flat when previously trained in France and he can make a winning start over timber on his stable debut for Paul Nicholls. Inca Prince is another to consider after his latest success at Catterick and he could be dangerous if getting an uncontested lead.

PITEMPTON POWER was a game performer when fighting off all of his rivals to score at Catterick last month. The seven-year-old gelding was given a 3lb rise for that success and he can follow up returning to this longer distance. Bollingerandkrug has claims dropping to this easier grade but he will need to find improvement as he tries first-time cheekpieces, while Carry On The Magic is respected on his chase debut.

VOIX DU REVE appeared to be out of his depth when he was last seen finishing sixth in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle in November. The 10-year-old gelding should find this to be an easier assignment and he is now 6lb lower than when finishing a neck second at this meeting 12 months ago. Geromino has been in excellent form this season and he is feared most if building on his latest effort at Doncaster, while Kavanaghs Cross is respected after his recent success at Kelso.

Tommy's Oscar is looking for his hat-trick but was all out to win over two miles at Doncaster and has another 3lb here. Tom Midgley claims 7lb which balances the books but he did have a hard race and may be better over further. CHRISTOPHER WOOD won here in February off 1lb higher in the handicap and has won both starts over C&D suggesting he can go well again, while Fiveandtwenty will try to bounce back to the form that saw him win three times in a row here over C&D.

Gold Des Bois has come home second on his last four starts, but he weakened when tried over this sort of trip in Ireland and is not guaranteed to get home. GAELIK COAST has won twice over C&D, the latest in October off a mark 3lb lower, and, although well beaten at Newbury since, he slipped that day in a race best ignored. He may well outstay them all here, with Amour de Nuit another to consider as he drops in class.

Angel of Harlem may be spot on now after two starts following a two-year layoff and, dropped 5lb for an 18-length third at Uttoxeter, she could get involved in the finish along with MORRAMAN. Fourth over an inadequate trip at Ludlow last time, and back up in trip here, the two-time C&D winner should be far happier at this distance and could hold off the attentions of Smokey The Bandit, who tries this trip again for his in-form stable.
