OUR CAT has been in excellent form over the summer and dropped back over hurdles over C&D earlier in the month to win for the first time over the smaller obstacles. Fergal O'Brien's charge can continue her progression under a penalty. Only Orvieto won a bumper at Sedgefield in good style in March and could give a decent account on hurdling debut. Lily Yeats looks best of the remainder.

NORTHANDSOUTH was a winner at Uttoxeter on his most recent start in May over hurdles and should prove too strong for connections that are usually fully firing on his debut over the larger obstacles. Lake Chapala has been running respectably of late over hurdles but is entitled to improve on his chasing debut and for the first-time hood which will help him to settle in his races. Orchard Road might also improve for fences.

SHAN DUN NA NGALL looks to have been found a good opportunity to get his head back in front over hurdles for the first time since May. Gordon Elliott boasts a good record at Perth. No Win No Fee looks the main danger if bouncing back after a poor run at Worcester earlier this month, while Marcus Antonius has some decent pieces of hurdles form to his name and merits respect.

Kim Bailey's visits here are usually successful (four winners from seven runners) and last year's winner BY THE BOARDWALK can take all the beating once more off just 3lb higher. The son of Presenting goes well fresh and should be suited by this juice in the ground. Fergal O'Brien is another trainer who does well at this venue and Tangolan bounced back to form here earlier this month, while Kilbree Kid could provide new trainer/jockey partnership Tom George and Adrian Heskin with an instant noteworthy success.

LANDECKER has gone well fresh in the past and all three of his career victories have come under today's rider Lucy Alexander. These conditions are unlikely to pose many problems and the eight-year-old can make a successful start to the season in this company. Frontier Vic had a successful time of things in the latter stages of last season and did win here in April after being well backed, while Brand Ambassador and Sun Cloud also merit respect in a competitive handicap.

A near 1000-mile round trip for Nigel Hawke could pay off with his UK debutant ATLANTIC KING, who has joined from John Hammond's yard in France after three starts on the level. The market could be the best guide to his chances, but it is worth noting that the Devon-based trainer has had a winner here from just three runners in the past and Tom Scudamore has been booked for the ride. Milrow has become frustrating to follow since his maiden success in this sphere and can be taken on, but L'apogee was last seen winning on the Flat just 24 days ago and could do better in this discipline. He's noted along with Trespassed.

Tim Vaughan has his string in excellent order and the Glamorgan-based handler has a 33% strike rate at this venue with his runners in the last five seasons. MAD MONEY has a 7lb penalty to contend with for a resounding success at Worcester nine days ago and could be worth following once more with that first victory under Rules under his belt. Queens Bay should appreciate some give in the ground on just her second start for Neil Mulholland, while Son Of My Heart completes the shortlist.
