Kruzhlinin warrants plenty of respect on his handicap debut after gamely winning a maiden contest here last time, although dropping half-a-mile in trip is a concern, while Formulation certainly isn't out of it making his handicap debut off an opening mark of 108. The vote, however, goes to HAWKHILL, Tim Vaughan's only runner on the card. The offspring of Hawk Wing has impressed with novice hurdle wins at Huntingdon and Southwell recently and looks capable of shouldering top-weight on this first handicap start.
Kruzhlinin may fare better over 2½m+ in time, but his hurdles form looks solid, and he's taken to enhance his trainer's excellent course record. Hawkhill should be competitive on his handicap bow, and Thirty Days Out is capable of better on her second start back from a break.
Successful in two chases at 2m and 2m 4f on good and good to soft ground. Fell 2 out when 8-1 at Newcastle over 2m (good) in a chase won by Prince Tam in March on his latest outing.

Many appear to have chances here and GAVROCHE GAUGAIN receives what is only a tentative vote. Ferdy's Murphy's representative has had his jumping problems but is fairly useful when on song (won twice for Tony Kelly) and was successful when last tackling this sort of trip at Sedgefield in November. Civil Servant produced his best effort since tackling fences when third over 3m at Huntingdon last time and looks worthy of a place on the shortlist, as does Hurricane Jack and Reg Kingdom, who both boost winning course form.
Or de Grugy gave a strong hint of a revival when signing off his time with Sue Bradburne at Newcastle in March and is worth chancing to make a winning start for his new yard off a career-low chasing mark. Hurricane Jack, Civil Servant and Red Kingdom complete the shortlist.
He has won two NH flat races and two chases from 2m to 3m 1f on good to soft and soft ground. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Saint Are when seventh of 14 on his latest outing in a chase at Aintree over 3m 1f (good) last month.

Mumbles Head looks to have obvious claims having won by 11 lengths over 3m1f at Market Rasen last month, but that form looks fairly suspect (second and fourth pulled up next time) and a 12lb rise in the ratings is harsh, so a chance is taken on the enigmatic THE HOLLINWELL. The nine-year-old has been set much stiffer assignments at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals on his last couple of starts and is now 13lb lower than when runner-up in the Listed Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle in November. Any market support for General Hardi on his first outing since beating subsequent Rowland Meyrick and Peter Marsh winner According To Pete at Catterick in January last year could well be worth noting.
Mumbles Head travelled with all his customary old zest when continuing his resurgence at Market Rasen recently and is taken to defy a hike in the weights at the expense of Harry Flashman and Jaunty Journey.
Unplaced in both NH starts. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Green Flag when 14th of 15 on his latest outing in a maiden NH flat race at Hexham over 2m (good) in March.

The fact Philip Hobbs brings just one horse, JOSEPH MERCER, on the 950-mile round trip from his Minehead base up to Scotland looks a tip in itself. A winner between the flags, he left his debut in this sphere well behind when chasing home the useful Jump City over 2m3f at Newton Abbot last time and any further improvement is sure to see him in the thick of the action tonight. Kris Cross and Nodda High Kid both displayed a fair amount of ability in bumpers, indeed the latter beat subsequent Albert Bartlett winner Brindisi Breeze on debut, and make plenty of appeal first time over timber.
Joseph Mercer achieved enough at Newton Abbot last time to suggest he'll be winning before long but Kris Cross has looked promising in bumpers this spring and is just preferred. Paddy Brennan looks a positive booking for French bumper winner Tepalo and Aidan Howard's charge also makes the shortlist.
He has won three hurdle races at 2m on good to soft and soft ground. Third of 11 behind Marino Prince beaten 5l at 5-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Southwell over 2m (soft) last month.

A winner of a hurdle race at 3m on good to firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 28-1 behind Scotswell when 9th of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Kelso over 2m 6f (good) in March.

Bocamix has been in decent form over hurdles this year, winning two of his five starts, and makes plenty of appeal now sent chasing, but KARINGA QUEEN is preferred representing a Gordon Elliott stable who do particularly well with their runners here. The Karinga Bay mare emerged with plenty of credit when fifth in a 2m7f chase on her debut for this yard at Downpatrick last Friday and she is entitled to strip fitter for that first run in over three months. Rawaaj isn't the most consistent but would have a chance if finding top gear.
Karinga Queen is very well treated on the pick of her old form and is taken to build on an encouraging recent debut for Gordon Elliott. Chasing newcomer Bocamix and Arrow Barrow look best of the rest.

TOMMYSTEEL showed a likeable attitude when landing a hunters' chase over 3m1f at Kelso last time and, providing tonight's trip isn't on the short side, he will take some stopping in his bid to follow up. Romany Ryme rates the biggest threat on his debut in this sphere having won a couple of point-to-point events last month, while Reland appeared to run out of gas when a well-beaten fourth over 3m1f at Kelso latest and could take giant strides forward here with less emphasis on stamina.
Tommysteel made a winning debut in this sphere at Kelso recently, and while a drop in trip isn't certain to suit, he looks the one to beat. Romany Ryme has been progressive in points recently, and looks the main danger.

Dj Milan makes plenty of appeal on this handicap debut having gamely won his maiden over 2m4f at Hereford last time, but TALKIN SENCE edges the vote. Stuart Coltherd's gelding produced his best effort yet when beaten a quarter of a length into second over C&D almost three weeks ago and looks certain to be in the shake-up again despite a 2lb rise in the ratings. What A Steel belied odds of 33/1 when finishing runner-up at Ayr last month and there is a chance that he will improve for that first start since December.
Quite a few can be given a chance in this but Angel Sun has caught the eye on a couple of occasions over hurdles and this could be the day it all comes together. Consistent pair What A Steel and Shooting Times are likely to be on the premises again, while Donald McCain's DJ Milan could easily have more to give now tackling handicaps for the first time.
