Not the strongest of maidens to open the card but PEGASUS PRINCE can get off the mark. The six-year-old has won three times on the all-weather and looks to have improved since moving to the NH sphere. He posted a decent second over 2m4f at Newcastle on his penultimate start and is expected to appreciate the better ground this afternoon. Howard Johnson's Chicago Outfit has a chance having returned from a long absence to take second at Carlisle last month. He made a quick move to hurdles after two moderate outings in bumpers and must be respected with the promise of more to come. Apache Country makes his first start under Rules and his best performance in point-to-points came on good ground.
Shalamiyr's second to Manyriverstocross at Chepstow rates the best form on offer here, but he's been let down by his temperament of late and also may lack stamina at this trip, so it could pay to side with likely improver Roll Over Rosie instead. Chicago Outfit and Pegasus Prince should also be thereabouts.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 4f to 3m on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 6l by Ringaroses when second of 21 at 16-1 on his latest outing in a Grade 3 hurdle race in the Group 3 John Smith's smithythehorse.com Handicap Hurdle at Aintree over 3m (good). Has won 3 times this season.

Winner of two hurdle races and four chases from 2m to 3m on good ground. Third of 7 behind Big Buck's beaten 4l at 33-1 on his latest outing in a Grade 1 hurdle race in the Group 1 BGC Partners Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree over 3m (good) earlier this month. Has won at Doncaster and Ascot this season.

He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 6f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-10fav at Kelso over 2m 6f (good to soft) earlier this month, beating Caerlaverock by 7l. Has also won at Hexham this season.

Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 3m on good to soft and soft ground.

Has won twice at Newcastle this season.

Has won twice at Newcastle this season.
POSSOL backed up his fifth in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham with a fine third to Big Buck's in the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree and should be more than capable of seeing off his rivals today. The seven-year-old won over this trip in December at Doncaster and also landed a chase at this meeting 12 months ago. Soft Spoken Guy won over 2m7f at Kelso 10 days ago and appeared to have no problems with the longer trip. He remains open to improvement and should be in the reckoning. Meath All Star has won twice in three starts since the turn of the year but made too many mistakes in the conditional riders' event at Cheltenham last time, ultimately finishing down the field. The ground should suit here though and his trainer's track record speaks for itself.
Possol's Grand National bid failed to come to fruition, but he still ran a blinder at Aintree when third to Big Buck's and should take this if in the same form. Carsonstown Boy was another to reach a new high at that meeting with his second to Ringaroses and is just preferred to The Knoxs for forecast purposes.
Winner of two hurdle races, a NH flat race and three chases from 2m to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Last of 3 behind Wychwoods Legend beaten a distance at 15-8 on his latest outing in a chase at Market Rasen over 3m 1f (good) earlier this month. Has won 3 times this season.

He has won two hurdle races and a chase at 3m on good to firm and good ground. Pulled up at the 12th when 6-1 at Ayr over 3m 1f (good) in a claiming chase won by Catch The Perk earlier this month on his latest outing.

Not the most competitive looking affair and LATANIER has a strong chance of returning to winning ways after finishing last of three at Market Rasen earlier in the month. Connections are persisting at 3m, despite his best form coming around 2m4f, and he could prove the one to beat if allowed to dictate at his own pace. Gordon Elliott's Barcardero steps back up in distance and has run well on a number of occasions in more testing conditions since the turn of the year. Diablo made an early blunder in the Topham Chase at Aintree and having done well to get round that day, he's not without a chance here if his jumping holds up.
Latanier has built up a good strike rate and is taken to add to that tally, especially if the ground comes up soft. Barcardero represents a successful stable and is feared, but a greater threat may emerge from Diablo.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good ground. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Dee Ee Williams when 12th of 21 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 2m (good) earlier this month. Has won at Sedgefield and Down Royal this season.

Word Of Warning is looking to land a hat-trick although this is his first appearance since August. He won twice over 2m4f near the start of the season and finished second in a maiden hurdle here in July. Slight preference is for DRUMSHAMBO, who can boast two wins from his three starts over timber. He scored on his jumps debut at Bangor in February and regained the winning thread at Towcester late last month. His sixth at Sandown came in testing conditions and it was by no means a disgrace. Magnum Force won back-to-back hurdle races last May but will need to step up on his comeback effort at Aintree.
There's very little to choose between a good number in this competitive contest, but Nearby is just given the vote over Kudu Country. Drumshambo is unexposed and probably has more to give on his first foray into handicaps.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Chaninbar when eighth of 16 on his latest outing in a Grade 3 chase in the Group 3 Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree over 2m (good to soft).

The Irish charge NEDZER'S RETURN unseated his rider in the Fox Hunters' Chase at Aintree but had won his previous two outings and looked a nice prospect in doing so. He could be worth another chance with conditions to suit today. Mighty Massini was travelling well up in third when he fell five out at Fairyhouse, he won in similar conditions at Downpatrick last month and is one to consider today. Brave Rebellion scored over this distance at Market Rasen 22 days ago and this quick turn around could give him a chance of following that success up. He seems to handle any ground and would be hard to rule out here.
Emergency Exit showed improved form when making a winning start for Philip Hobbs in January and has sound claims of following up. Winning hunter chaser Nedzer's Return is much less exposed than most of these and has to come into it, particularly given his trainer's record here. Quicuyo is potentially well treated and another to consider.

Caulkin makes a first start in this sphere today following a decent effort in a hunter chase last time out. He scored prior to that in an Irish point-to-point and it will be interesting to see how he fares in this company. Slight preference is for DEVIL WATER who has been found wanting in his last couple of outings over this distance but may be more at home in what should be a slower ran race here. He's won on the point-to-point scene and his best performance over hurdles to date, a good third at Musselburgh in February, gives him sound claims. Ravensbill looked much better over this extended trip when turning out at Ayr last month and could go well again today.
Devil Water is given the nod because he boasts the best hurdles form, though it's nothing to write home about, and it would be no surprise if either of the above-average Flat performers Hippolytus or Rossini's Dancer stepped up on their previous efforts in this sphere and beat him.
He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m 1f to 2m 3f on good and soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Pulled up 3 out when 28-1 at Ayr over 2m 5f (good to firm) in a hurdle race won by Diavoleria last month on his latest outing.

Lucinda Russel's charge, DEEP SQUEEZE, returned from a lengthy absence to finish third over 2m4f at Carlisle on her first outing for his new yard. He is entitled to come on for that run and may not have to find much to get off the mark today. Leith Walk won off a mark 4lb lower back in February and she has solid each-way claims, while Top Brass ran well on his first outing of the year back last month when finishing a close second. The slightly better conditions should be in his favour and he is one to consider this afternoon.
Guydus has more to offer in handicaps at this sort of trip, and Deep Squeeze will win races for his new yard, but both may have to settle for minor honours here behind Liz's Dream. He was a revelation in cheekpieces last month, and a hefy rise in the weights may still not be enough to prevent the follow up.
