MR STEADFAST bumped into Flat Group 3 winner Maputo over two miles here, but he forced that rival to work relatively hard for his success. The step up to this trip looks a good move and he can go one better now. Number One London has made a highly encouraging start to his career over timber and is the logical danger. It's hard to see the remainder troubling the aforementioned pair, but Drop A Gear is the pick of the bunch.

Former smart Flat performer Laajooj commands the utmost respect on his hurdles debut, but he has been on the sidelines for 913 days and is entitled to strip fitter for the run. Preference is for TEMPO MAC, who came up short at the Galway Festival, although he still held a chance until a mistake two out. If he can recapture the level of his comfortable Cartmel success, he will take plenty of stopping. Ronaldinho has been in decent nick and also enters calculations, along with Lady Clitico.

SANDYNOW found the drop back to 2m4f against him at Bangor, rallying to finish third on the run-in having been outpaced. He is back to his optimum trip and is taken to get the better of Down Time, who disappointed in his bid to follow up a comfortable Newton Abbot victory at Killarney. He ought to bounce back, while Presented took a step in the right direction here 17 days ago and is also noted.

A wide-open heat in which PUSH ME receives only a tentative vote. She returned from a spell on the level with a good third at Sedgefield last week and now she has reacquainted herself with the hurdling game, she could find the back of the net. Makethedifference shaped as if returning to the boil at Market Rasen and is feared most. Old Storm and Dynamic Drive can also make their presence felt.

Russian Regent already has a convincing course and distance success to his name, but he may struggle to contain BORDER BREAKER. David Pipe's six-year-old shaped with plenty of promise on his chasing debut at Worcester but didn't get home over 2m7f so, with that experience under his belt, he can land the spoils now eased in distance. Enchanted Garden arrives in winning form and isn't opposed lightly, and Nearest The Pin should also give a good account.

COUNT SALAZAR was run down in the dying strides over course and distance, but he could well get an easy time of things out in front in this smaller field and is fancied to regain the winning thread. Western Way opened his account over timber in good style at Market Rasen and he looks a big threat now tacking this trip for the first time. Skylander is holding his form well and is noted, along with Blue Cannon.
