Hard To Swallow impressively won his bumper at Ffos Las in March and warrants respect now sent hurdling with McCoy booked to ride, but Irish raider MART LANE edges the vote. A full brother to the high-class Western Leader, he also caught the eye when landing a bumper at Leopardstown in January and stepping up half-a-mile in trip for his hurdling debut looks sure to suit. Warrants A Name could win the race for third spot.

ONE FOR JOULES could prove difficult to beat in what represents her easiest assignment since tackling hurdles. She wasn't disgraced when fourth over 2m at Galway last time and found just one too good on her only previous start in this country (over timber) in a class 2 handicap at Ffos Las some three months ago. Lakeman has to be respected after his workmanlike victory at Cartmel while C&D winner Fool's Wildcat is no forlorn hope.

In a race where a case can be made for each of the six runners, QUITE THE MAN edges the vote. Although a bumper and hurdle winner already, this six-year-old gelding has always looked as though fences would be the making of him and connections seemingly think he's well treated by throwing him straight into handicap company. Fellow chasing debutant The Cockney Mackem is most feared while Balnagore has definite claims in the first-time visor.

Representing last year's winning stable, THE ICE FACTOR could defy the burden of top weight here. He stepped up on a pleasing debut over hurdles when scoring comfortably at Tramore 41 days ago (second has won twice since) and a spin on the Flat earlier this month will have kept his fitness ticking over. The other Irish-trained runner, Cool Newport, has claims but Red Riverman rates the biggest threat after his third-placed effort at Newton Abbot.

Bescot Springs won comfortably on just his third chase start at Hexham in June and further improvement should see him in the shake-up here, but RESTORATION looks the one to beat. He stayed on to take second over an extended 2m4f here in June and then looked to have the race sewn up when unseating Brian Harding at the last over the same C&D latest. Up in trip now, he gets the nod while Corrick Bridge completes the shortlist.

There are plenty in with chances in the finale and slight preference is for LOS NADIS. He arguably produced his best effort yet when beating the reopposing Glingerbank by six lengths over an extended 2m4f here last month and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. The hat-trick seeking Another Dimension is unlikely to go down without fighting while the two Irish runners, Trendelenburg and Talkin' Tough, warrant plenty of respect.
