JUST BEFORE DAWN is the clear pick in this event based upon his second-placed finish to an above-average rival at Kempton back in March. That was his first start since October 2014 and he should only improve for the outing. Killone outran odds of 100/1 to finish second at Hexham last month and he could pick up some place money again today, while Lorenzo and Whispering Affair are others to note.

GET READY FREDDY has only been raised 3lb for his win at Taunton last month and that appears to be very fair given that the second and third fought out the finish of a handicap chase at Worcester last week. Welcome Ben is another who arrives here on the back of a victory and he is an obvious danger today. Fred Le Macon makes his chasing debut today from just 1lb above his last winning mark over hurdles.

A MONTMARTRE won with plenty in hand when successful at Taunton last month and a 6lb rise for that success may well underestimate the five-year-old mare. Bahrikate surprised a few when successful at 33/1 over C&D late last month and she will be in the mix today if in the same form. The shortlist is completed by Alizee De Janeiro, Gold Chain and Princess Mononoke.

This is a very moderate event but the marginal preference is for MOLLIES GENT, who has been struggling for form of late but his last victory came at this track back in September from just 5lb lower in the ratings. Resolute Reformer has also won at this venue but he has not been seen since that victory in May of last year. Vesuvhill and Ryalex warrant each-way consideration.

BROADWAY BELLE should appreciate a drop in distance after trying an extra three furlongs at Sedgefield last month when second in a decent contest and the booking of Will Kennedy once more (3-8 here in the last five years) is a major positive. Cuil Rogue was much improved here last time out and remains on a reasonable mark despite a 3lb rise, while Solway Trigger unseated his rider last time out but had been backed and could be one to watch in the market once more.

JESTER JET arrives on a hat-trick after two impressive wins for Tom Lacey in recent months and there could be more to come from the seven-year-old on just her third start for this handler. A 3lb rise for her recent Ludlow success looks fair and should be suited by this easier surface. Late Date remains unexposed over this distance and won well here last month, while Jet Master is another with crucial past winning experience at this venue and needs to be taken seriously.

ROSSINI'S DANCER hasn't been witnessed in this sphere in over a year but he has been ticking along nicely between the flags in recent months and could find these conditions very much in his favour. The 12-year-old might have too much for Creevytennant, who is likely to be popular in the betting given his handler often targets this venue from his Gloucestershire based yard, while Allthekingshorses represents the same stable as the selection and should be thereabouts.
