Although ETALON wasn't quite at his best when fourth at Kempton in February, his previous efforts at Ascot suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only help Dan Skelton's charge and he edges the vote over last year's winner Light N Strike. Mickey Bowen's string are starting to fire and a return to form from his veteran wouldn't be a surprise. Western General is also noted.
It could be worth taking a chance with SOMESPRING SPECIAL at the foot of the weights. She has been below par on both of her runs this term but her penultimate outing is working out extremely well and she looks on a good mark based on her autumn form. Hercule Du Seuil is another who has dropped in the weights and now looks dangerously well treated on her Grade 3 winning form. If resuming positive tactics he could be tough to catch so looks a big danger. In form Western General is also given a chance but he has never won off a mark this high.
Probably needed race well beaten in a novice hurdle at Exeter latest; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m5f, acts on heavy; needs to prove ability remains following long lay off.

Having made light work of the opposition in his sole point-to-point, Outmaster warrants close inspection in the market on his Rules bow. Regardless, NAME ME NICELY is a useful performer in this discipline and a reproduction of his latest second at Newbury in handicap company should make him tough to beat. Bold Step makes his hurdling debut after a promising second in an Exeter bumper in January and completes the shortlist.
NAME ME NICELY is beginning to prove frustrating but he is given one final chance here. His recent handicap runner up effort sets the standard and he has proven his stamina for further. Bold Step finished runner up on his sole start in bumpers and that form has been boosted. Stepping up in trip on his hurdling debut he can throw down the biggest challenge ahead of Outmaster who was successful on his sole start in points before joining a top yard.

STORMINHOME reacted well to the introduction of blinkers when a close second at Southwell in March and compensation could be on the horizon. A 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable for the nine-year-old and he's fancied to repel Elysian Knight. Neil Mulholland's inmate arrives on the back of a respectable fourth over timber at Plumpton and he's unexposed over fences. Dyno Dave can make his presence felt too.
DYNO DAVE was still travelling well when put off by a rival and departing last time but is expected to make amends here. He showed a willing attitude when winning prior to that and still looks on a generous mark based on his hurdle form. Consistent top weight Elysian Knight will appreciate the return to chasing and looks a big danger while Storminhome proved he retained his ability last time. He remains a maiden over fences but is well treated on his best form and should run well once again.
Never jumped or travelled 46l third in a handicap chase at Doncaster most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; jumping must improve.

Gower Prince made a pleasing start for his new yard when hitting the woodwork at Market Rasen and could go well, but it may pay to side with NORTHERN AIR. The seven-year-old mare filled the runner-up spot here last month over hurdles and if in similar form, she could capitalise on her unchanged mark. Lightning Flash is the pick of the remainder.
Gower Prince bounced back to form when placed last time off a much reduced mark and has to be a big player off just 3lb higher with an easy lead likely. However it could be worth chancing FIRST ANGEL who is easily forgiven his latest run which was his first in more than a year. He was too keen over a stretching trip that day but has his optimum conditions here and it is doubtful that Sean Bowen would've taken the ride if he didn't retain his ability. He's back on his last winning mark and can defeat Cobbler's Boy who is yet to fire over fences but has slipped to a dangerous mark judged on his hurdles form. He did travel well for a long way last time.

REEL ORANGE showed improvement when sporting first-time cheekpieces to record her first career success over track and trip last month and is only 3lb higher. That was just her third start for the Joe Tizzard yard and there might be more to come. Ghost Dancing didn't give her true running when pulled up at Fakenham in March and could prove a different proposition now. Of the remainder, C&D winner Best Night makes the most appeal.
BELLE LE GRAND hasn't added to her novice victories last summer but she did hint at a revival last time and looks on a good mark if able to build on that. She looked set to go close off a higher mark in the winter when coming down and she should get her desired stiff test here. Reel Orange finally got her head in front last time and should have more to offer so looks the biggest danger ahead of Best Night who was consistent until her latest run. She will appreciate the drop back in distance.
Returned to form allowed relatively easy lead landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; remains well treated on old form, could follow up.
Has won six hurdle races, a chase and a point-to-point from 2m 2f to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to heavy. A winner at 4-1 in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Dearkeithandkaty by 2 1/2l.

Mister Barclay just did enough to return to winning ways at Ffos Las in November and has to be of interest on his return to the fray. Juggernaut has found one too good the last twice and is respected, but the one who appeals most is STRIKING A POSE. Joe Tizzard's veteran made every yard of the running to score over track and trip last month and can go in again.
Striking A Pose cashed in on a much reduced mark last time and remains very well treated on his old form so looks the safest option here. However he could find SUPREME YEATS even better handicapped here. He's now dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and though he's been struggling for some time he has been racing over inadequate trips. Now stepped back up to his optimum distance on favourable summer ground a revival is predicted. The consistent but frustrating Juggernaut can complete the places.
