Atlanta Falcon is likely to be all the rage for Gordon Elliot and Jason Maguire, who have teamed up to good affect on more than one occasion at this venue. Tongue-tied for the first time may help address the issue that saw the six-year-old flop at Killarney last time out when a well beaten favourite. However, preference is for JIVE MASTER. Winning bumper form at this course bodes well and with both successes so far having come on similar ground as he will encounter tonight, the Tim Vaughan-trained representative makes plenty of appeal. Gearbox looks best of the rest.

Some Catch arrives here on her chasing debut with some respectable hurdling form to her name and she might be well handicapped off 74. Tae Kwon Do sets the form standard but has it all to do from top weight and for that reason a chance is taken on AUTHENTIC ACT who bids to land the hat-trick tonight. The assessor took a stern view of his most recent success at Sedgefield and handed out an 8lb hike in the ratings but he remains capable of further improvement still.

Shuttle Diplomacy is yet sparkle and has a lot to prove but first time cheekpieces may do the trick and she is one to keep an eye on. Preference, though, is for BENLUNA for whom this represents a marked drop in class and if his form of two starts ago is reproduced, when runner-up at this venue, he could prove too good for these rivals. Present Your Case represents Tim Vaughan and Richard Johnson and along with Via Archimede, must be respected.

Humourous has C&D winning form already in the book and may be of particular interest to the each-way player in this contest. HATHAMORE is handed a 7lb penalty for a recent success at Worcester but looks more than capable of defying that and recording back to back victories, the extended 3m not expected to pose many problems. Patrixbourne is the main danger to the selection chasing the hat-trick while Below The Deck is also worthy of a mention having bounced back to form at Catterick last time out.

SUN TZU is now rated a full 20lb higher in the ratings since recording his first of five consecutive wins at Stratford in March but the progressive son of Definite Article can continue the winning thread. The C&D winner will be tough to pass if given a easy lead but the main danger comes in the shape of Supercede who can get competitive if able to recapture his good form of last term, most notably when second at Cheltenham behind the useful Aiteen Thirtythree. Scotch Warrior appeals most elsewhere in the field.

WITH GRACE escapes a penalty for her recent Bangor success in a conditional jockeys handicap and will be tough to beat turned out just a week later. She appears to have the required speed in abundance to win at this shorter trip while Long Distance is worthy of a place on the shortlist following his recent Market Rasen success. The stoutly bred son of Montjeu, Swiss Guard, displayed a bold improvement at Worcester in June and along with Makhaaleb, should be taken seriously.
