WILHELM VONVENSTER will attract plenty of attention given his connections and the five-year-old, who made a pleasing introduction when fourth in a Newcastle bumper in November, appears to have been found the perfect race to make his debut over hurdles. Hopefully a hood will help Mister Manduro jump better than he did at Hexham, where unseating Craig Nichol at the third, while Ventura Dragon is worth a market check at least ahead of his NH debut.

Get Out The Gate won gamely on his chasing debut at Ayr recently and he should go well under a penalty, but conceding 6lb to JERSEY BEAN, who is currently rated 9lb higher than him over hurdles, will be no easy task. Oliver Sherwood's charge boasts some smart form over the smaller obstacles and the feeling has always been that he would be even better when tackling fences. Teddy Tee is no mug but he may have to settle for third on this occasion.

The form of LOAD UP TIME's C&D success last month took a nice boost when the runner-up struck next time and, although an 8lb rise looks a little harsh, he could follow up for top connections. Kajaki is two from three over timber and has posted a couple of solid efforts on the Flat more recently. He rates the biggest threat ahead of Green Zone, a five-time course winner who has very little weight on his back with Danny McMenamin claiming a valuable 7lb.

CRAIGANBOY was still going well when falling at the 10th at Newcastle last time and has a strong chance, off an unchanged mark, if none the worse for that fall. Bafana Blue battled on well to score by a neck over 3m at Hexham earlier in the month and should remain competitive after a 7lb rise. The pick of the remainder may be the consistent Katgary.

Legal History was denied a hat-trick when beaten by nine lengths into second over 2m at Plumpton last month and may be worth taking on now operating off a 1lb higher mark. Narrow preference is for FISHER GREEN, who was touched off by under a length over this trip at Hexham last time and wouldn't need to find much improvement in order to defy a 2lb rise. C&D winner Strong Team is also unlikely to be far away at the finish.

Little Stevie won well off this mark over hurdles at Worcester a week ago and the seven-year-old has to be given the utmost respect, although he was due to run here yesterday. If he fails to make the line-up today then CHARLIE SNOW ANGEL, who has been running consistently well of late, could be the main beneficiary. Roll Of Thunder edges out Highland Peak to be the pick of the remainder.

WILD SAM looked sure to break his maiden tag prior to falling at the last obstacle at Ayr nine days ago and he can provide his supporters with some valuable compensation this afternoon. Lough Kent could make the frame today based on the pick of his form, while Karingo and Painters Lad are others to consider in a wide-open contest.
