The Keith Dalgleish yard do pretty well with their selective runners under NH rules and now introduce useful staying handicapper Mirsaale to the jumping game. The son of Sir Percy receives plenty of weight from the penalised Irish trio and could well prove good enough first time up, but JOHN MONASH could represent a touch of value as he has been deserted by Richard Johnson in favour of stable companion Dove Mountain. The selection admittedly has little room for further improvement but does boast an excellent track record and Darragh Maher claims what could prove a vital 7lb.

WYFIELD ROSE has to prove her effectiveness on slower ground should the rains fall but has looked an improved mare of late and can repel the handicapper's latest offensive of a 10lb hike for her most recent success. Baysbrown has proved his ability on both good and soft ground so looks one to have onside as he remains lightly raced and stays this trip well, as evidenced by a close second to Tantamount last time. There is probably more to come from Thyne For Gold too and last-time winner Vision De La Vie also merits shortlist inclusion.

The jury remains out on So Satisfied over larger obstacles and he does not have the easiest of tasks off top weight, although it's too early to be dismissive of him. Overtures is probably unfortunate not to have broken his duck under Rules and has an obviously strong chance after two more than satisfactory chasing performances, but NEFYN BAY revealed a willing attitude to oblige over C&D last time and is at home on all ground types. He has a good wins to runs ratio and can improve his record here. Bright Prospect and Jackofhearts both need to improve.

Moabit and Brotherly Company arrive from the West Country in good heart and with decent claims in a competitive contest, with preference for the latter as his useful amateur claims a valuable 5lb. Desoto County may have top weight but is impossible to eliminate from calculations and is a tempting option, but MARDALE is likely to go under the radar somewhat. She has a good course record, continues to improve and impressed in the way she dealt with Impulsive American here last time. Winterlude is very lightly raced for such a tough contest but was talented on the level and is going the right way over timber.

Green Zone appeared to score with plenty in hand last time and will obviously be dangerous if repeating that improved level off a 7lb higher mark. Mountainside didn't run too badly when upped to Listed grade at Market Rasen last time and should be competitive returned to the level at which he was successful on his penultimate start. RUARAIDH HUGH, back to form last time at Market Rasen, and is another of interest if backing up the run but he enjoyed a golden run of form last season and can hopefully repeat the dose. Handsome Dan houses solid each-way claims.

DR MOLONEY has looked far from straightforward the last twice but is given another chance with the champion jockey taking the ride. He undoubtedly has the ability to land a contest of this nature and is weighted to reverse placings with Presented on their latest running here. Kilbree Kid is a likely beneficiary should the selection not see things through, although any money for Present Lodger on his return to action would be significant. He looked a useful chaser in the making in early 2015 and would go close here if returning to that level.

Westinmare and ROSIE FIFTY ONE were only separated by a length here last time and the latter is a hopeful choice to reverse placings as that latest effort represented a significant improvement on her uninspiring debut run. She could prove good enough if coming on again for the run for a shrewd Irish yard. Bannow Storm and Just Milly have both revealed a fair level of form in similar company with the latter preferred of the pair on the back of a decent run at Uttoxeter last month.
