SPADESTEP, who was snapped up for 50,000 pounds after winning his sole point-to-point start, looks a bright prospect for the Lucinda Russell yard after a close second-placed finish to a highly progressive rival on his Rules/hurdles debut in a similar race at Carlisle last month. As a half-brother to multiple jumps winner Tommy's Oscar, there could be an awful lot more to come from this unexposed six-year-old. Junker D'allier, Hasten Slowly and Byron Hill are the likeliest candidates to fill the frame behind the selection.

JACKS PARROT made a successful trip to Perth on the corresponding card 12 months ago and the versatile six-year-old could make a triumphant return if building on his notable third in the Devon National at Exeter most recently. With the potential to improve over marathon distances, the versatile six-year-old has strong credentials off just 1lb higher. Last-time-out winner Mt Fugi Park represents a yard that does well with stayers and is another must for consideration, while the hat-trick seeking Fairlawn Flyer can give a good account from the foot of the handicap.

Peter Bowen, Lucinda Russell and Nicky Richards have all trained recent winners of this race and the likes of Olivers Travels, Wal Buck's and President Scottie all command respect on the basis of the correct groundwork having been completed. However, Nigel Twiston-Davies could scupper those plans if a wind operation is a source of improvement for the still low-mileage HIGH TREASON. The lightly-raced six-year-old has won over hurdles from this rating and can provide a bit of value, with his rider's 5lb claim a notable asset in what appears to be a wide-open renewal.

WHISTLE STOP TOUR failed to fire in the Ultima at Cheltenham last time but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form in this company and Lucinda Russell's seven-year-old is very hard to oppose. Ganapathi has been running well in defeat of late and he could make the frame once again, while similar comments apply to Annsam.

FELICIE DU MAQUIS arrives here on the back of two wins and a 7lb penalty for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. Guard The Moon was out of his depth in the Pertemps Final last time but could go well in a race of this nature, while Kilbarry Hill edges out Jem In Em to be best of the rest.

TRAMUNTANA took a big step forward on his handicap bow to score at Huntingdon in February and may have lots more to offer over this distance. Olly Murphy's six-year-old only has a 5lb higher rating to contend with and is aided by the services of Sean Bowen this time around. Scorsese justified favouritism in ready fashion at Sedgefield last month and holds an obvious chance, despite being 10lb higher. Of the remainder, Aire Spray makes the most appeal.

Tree Top Tyson finished second between the flags in March last year before changing hands for 30,000 pounds and the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye on his first start under Rules. Even so, WILSTAR looks the way to go. The five-year-old was an expensive purchase and showed lots of promise when finishing third on his first bumper outing at Warwick. He may only need to find minimal improvement to get off the mark. Sanilam completes the shortlist.
