Nicky Henderson's 32,000gns purchase LYVIUS did the job nicely on his hurdling debut at Kelso last month and, with improvement expected, this Triumph Hurdle entrant will be strongly fancied to defy a penalty and complete the double. Other past winners Brilliant Barca and School For Scandal look to be his biggest dangers, while Gottany O's has questions to answer after running no sort of race at Wetherby the last day.
Lyvius needs to win to justify his place in the Triumph Hurdle field, and looks the likeliest winner, but he's sure to go off at cramped odds, and it may pay to oppose him with Mahayogin, who caught the eye at Sandown a fortnight ago, and ought to be much sharper for that debut.
He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race at 2m on good to soft and soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 3-10fav at Lingfield over 2m (soft) in January, beating Royal Commission by 4l. Has also won at Uttoxeter this season.

Half-brother to Brideswell Boy, won in a point to point race at 3m and in a chase at 2m 6f.
Half-brother to Brideswell Boy, won in a point to point race at 3m and in a chase at 2m 6f.
Poole Master hasn't put a foot wrong in both starts so far this season and warrants plenty of respect, but it's difficult to look past the unbeaten LETS GET SERIOUS. Michael Buckley's son of Overbury confirmed promise shown in his bumper last term when scoring comfortably first time over hurdles at Fontwell in December and further improvement can see him complete the hat-trick today. Lingfield scorer Ballygarvey has each-way claims.
This is likely to be dominated by Poole Master and the unbeaten Lets Get Serious, with the latter marginally preferred. Ballygarvey can chase the pair home.
Winner of two hurdle races and three chases from 2m to 2m 4f on good and good to soft ground. Well beaten at 10-3 behind Max Bygraves when fourth of 5 on his latest outing in a chase at Huntingdon over 2m 4f (good to firm) in October last year. Has won 3 times this season.

Lord Singer was in front and travelling nicely when getting found out by one of the railway fences at Sandown last week and could make amends here if his confidence hasn't been knocked, but NICEONEFRANKIE edges the vote representing an in-form Venetia Williams stable. He has been in cracking form himself recently and a 4lb rise in the ratings for his latest Leicester success looks fairly lenient. Marodima could be dangerous if granted a soft lead.
Darceys Dancer is the pick at the weights but can't be relied upon. Niceonefrankie on the other hand has made a brilliant start over fences and is taken to make it 4 wins in 5 starts. Lord Singer was going really well when coming to grief at Sandown and could make his presence felt if his jumping holds up.
He has won a hurdle race and two chases at 2m 4f on good to soft and soft ground. A winner at 5-1 in a chase at Wetherby over 2m 4f (good to soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Pena Dorada by 16l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Ayr this season.

A winner of a NH flat race at 2m on soft ground, but that win was over three years ago. Beaten 1l by Ring Bo Ree when second of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Southwell over 2m 4f (good to soft) last month.

On the evidence of easy wins at Ayr and Wetherby, RAILWAY DILLON has improved dramatically for the fitting of blinkers (worn again today) and, officially 8lb well in here, he ought to go extremely close from the front end. No Loose Change has shaped with plenty of promise in three starts over the smaller obstacles but chasing should bring out the best in him, while Carribs Leap is respected after his fine introduction to fences at Warwick last month.
Railway Dillon looks a different horse since being fitted with blinkers and is fancied to defy a penalty and complete a hat-trick. Thrice-raced pair No Loose Change and Thats Ben head the dangers.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on heavy ground. Beaten 1 1/2l by Dream Esteem when second of 9 at 2-1fav on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Chepstow over 2m (soft) last month.

Charm School arguably has the best form in the book and makes plenty of appeal, while hat-trick-seeking Double Handful is worthy of consideration despite shooting up 19lb in the ratings for wins at Taunton and Plumpton. The vote, however, goes to Alan King's handicap debutant HENRY SAN. This progressive sort readily won a novices' hurdle at Plumpton last month (third has won since) and a narrow miss on the Flat since shows he remains in good spirits.
Double Handful won as his name suggests at Plumpton in January, and can defy a hike in the weights. The consistent Charm School should go well from the front, while Henry San is open to improvement, and looks next best.
Successful in two chases at 2m 3f and 2m 5f on soft ground. Well beaten at 6-1 behind Quincy Des Pictons when fifth of 14 on his latest outing in a chase at Chepstow over 2m 3f (heavy) in December last year.

It could pay to side with the in-form BALLYALLIA MAN in what looks an open contest. He should arrive full of confidence after his opening victory in a beginners' chase at Southwell last time and doesn't look badly treated on this handicap debut. French Ties isn't the most reliable but can go close if in the same mood as when runner-up at Market Rasen latest, while Cabinet Minister certainly isn't out of it either.
Ballyallia Man could have been let in lightly into handicaps and is fancied to follow up last month's Southwell success. Plein Pouvoir could go well dropped back in grade, while French Ties is weighted to take a hand but is far from reliable.

GLORIOUS TWELFTH left her debut performance well behind when fourth in what looked quite a hot bumper on the all-weather at Kempton last month and, with further improvement possible, she could make it third time lucky. Alan King spoke highly of Tickity Bleue in a stable tour back in November and she warrants the utmost respect now appearing on a racecourse for the first time in public, while As I Am should improve for stepping up in trip.
Nuisance and As I Am are the pair with experience most likely to come to the fore but newcomers Tickity Bleue and Rock Me Gently make plenty of appeal and could fight it out.
