Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore are dual handed, with FRANKIES FORTUNE the pick of the yard's pair as they bid for back-to-back winners of this race. The low-mileage six-year-old was second behind an odds-on favourite over C&D last month. Given that was her hurdles debut, there ought to be more to come. Lowlands and Kaydence are likely types for a race of this nature and also merit close inspection.
FRANKIES FORTUNE shaped with plenty of promise when runner up over C&D in what looks a stronger contest than this. If she builds on that experience she can defeat the Olly Murphy pair Kaydence and Kayla's Friend. The former is the stable first string on jockey bookings and the bumper winner relished the step up in trip when runner up last time. The latter was too green to do herself justice on her hurdles debut but should be capable of better here.
Ran to form under aggressive ride when winning a novice hurdle at Ayr by 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts with cut; progressive and can take advantage of lenient opening mark on chase debut.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good to soft and soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 4-11fav at Ayr over 2m (soft) in February, beating Linalene by 1/2l.

NEXT TWIST has won two of his four starts over hurdles and is upwardly mobile. An opening mark of 121 suggests that he could have plenty in hand over the rest if he adapts to the new challenge over fences. Hypotenus and Garde Des Champs are exposed chasers but could have say if anywhere near their best. Shadowfax Of Rohan can also figure.
If taking to chasing NEXT TWIST can prove a class apart from his rivals. He had a 50% strike rate in his short career over hurdles with his latest win boosted in a good Irish handicap. He starts out over fences off a lenient mark and is chosen to defeat Shadowfax Of Rohan who has proven progressive over fences winning 2 of his 3 starts. There is plenty of early pace in the race which will suit Garde Des Champs dropping back in trip and the course specialist should stay on for a place on the podium.

SUSPECTED had no problems seeing out the three-mile trip when he won here last month and had enough in hand to suggest that he is a stayer worth following at this stage. A 6lb higher mark and the additional yardage obviously demand more, but he has bags of scope and gets the benefit of the doubt. Ebselysees has a similar recent profile and is another potential improver over the trip. Any rain would be a bonus for Shoeshine Boy and Buy Some Time, who complete the shortlist.
EBSELYSEES showed a willing attitude when beating a next time out winner over just shy of 3m here last time suggesting she should relish this longer trip. She remains on a generous mark judged on her novice form and is chosen to defeat another last time out course winner in Suspected. That rival remains unexposed and had a bit in hand last time so ought to be competitive off 6lb higher. Buy Some Time has been running into form after a break and hinted that he was ready for a return to staying trips last time. The former Punchestown winner should play a part off top weight.

AILL DUBH showed great tenacity to get off the mark under Rules at Newcastle in March. Micky Hammond's gelding is still completely unexposed at the trip so if finding further improvement, a 4lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Sir Carnegie struck the woodwork over C&D last time, a race in which Jirko unseated and Burgundy Man was well held. Fencing newcomer The Flying Poet won over hurdles here in September and needs to be monitored in the betting.
Consistent hurdler THE FLYING POET gained a deserved victory over 3m last time and is chosen to make a winning reappearance on his first start over fences. His penultimate defeat has been franked emphatically and the ground is in his favour so he can continue his yard's excellent record here. Aill Dubh left his previous chase form behind when a winner last time and still has mileage in his mark judged on his point form so looks the biggest threat. Of those at bigger prices C&D winner Burgundy Man makes some minor appeal as he could have an easier time up front than he has recently.

This isn't as deep as the Ludlow contest in which POTTERS PARTY bolted up in three weeks ago and he is expected to take all the beating. The main threat might come from Phantoms Cave, who was by no means disgraced behind an easy winner at Kelso last month. Deerstalker arrives following a brace of victories between the flags and is most appealing of the remainder.
POTTERS PARTY has a class edge in this line up. He was formerly a useful handicap chaser in Ireland and was successful on his first completed start in this discipline last time. 3m on good ground will suit ideally and he can defeat Deerstalker who was held in this last year but has been in excellent form in points of late. Phantoms Cave also has a good recent record in points and should be on the premises if building on his promising chase debut under rules.
Outpaced, ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip, bled when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; effective at around 2 1/2m; has had issues, needs to build on latest.

DUBLINOFFICECALLIN took a big step forward when scoring on his handicap debut over C&D a few weeks ago. A 5lb rise for that success may underestimate the five-year-old and he's hard to oppose as a result. Byron Hill made the frame at Sedgefield last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Gonnino is next best.
DUBLINOFFICECALLIN had plenty in hand when a C&D winner last time so is expected to defy a 5lb rise. That improvement came when upped in trip on the quickest ground he has faced so conditions will be in his favour once again. Frustrating dual purpose performer Byron Hill has been running back into form of late and his latest effort is worth marking up as he did plenty early. He may gain a place along with maiden Gonnino who should appreciate the step back up in distance.

LIVANO BELLO has filled second place in three of his last six starts and that includes a respectable effort over 2m4f at Fakenham last month. Off the same mark, it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old finally go one better. Knockeranna Rose also hit the crossbar last time and should not be underestimated. Others to note are Beat The Retreat and Malangen.
This could be dominated by a pair of handicap debutants in Jack Dempsey and BETTERYOUTHANME. The former showed improved form here last time with his fitness just giving way late and he is expected to improve for the step up in trip. However so is the latter who finished well under tender handling at Hexham last time and he is the selection. He showed a consistent level of form in maidens and has been given every chance by the handicapper. Consistent top weight Livano Bello can fill out the places in an open contest.
