Erins Stage is most interesting with Tony McCoy booked for her debut over hurdles, but she disappointed in a bumper at Downpatrick last month and QUEL ELITE edges the vote as a result. He has improved in each of his three starts over timber thus far and made good late headway to take second spot behind the useful Wyse Hill Tebags (who has finished third in a Listed race since) over 2m2f at Kelso 37 days ago. This extra yardage should help and further improvement must see him go very close. Pyjama Game reached the frame in each of his four bumper starts and is another who should benefit from climbing in trip first time over the sticks.
Quel Elite sets a solid standard and promises to do better still at this trip, so gets the vote ahead of promising bumper graduates What A Warrior and Pyjama Game.
Placed in a NH flat race from four starts. Well beaten at 66-1 behind Shadows Lengthen when 11th of 16 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Catterick over 2m 3f (good to soft) in February.

SIVOLA DE SIVOLA looks the one to beat. The 5-y-o showed signs of inexperience when making a couple of errors and finishing down the field in a Grade 2 prize at Cheltenham most recently, but a repeat of his 2 1/2-length second to Spirit Son (who has since won a Grade 2 himself) at Huntingdon previously would surely be good enough here. Lord Redsgirth represents the hugely respected Gordon Elliott stable and would have every chance if forgiven a lacklustre display at Down Royal last time, while Rain Stops Play cannot be overlooked having come agonizingly close to winning at Ayr 11 days ago.
Sivola de Sivola will find this much more to his liking than the Grade 2 event he contested at Cheltenham last time and his earlier second to Spirit Son looks strong form. He has to go well, but Gordon Elliott's runners at this track are always worth a second look and Lord Redsgirth is taken to put his latest disappointing run behind him. Rain Stops Play looks best of the rest.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 4f on soft and heavy ground. Pulled up 2 out when 14-1 in the Group 3 EBF NH Novices' Handicap Hurdle Final at Sandown over 2m 4f (good) in a Grade 3 hurdle race won by Skint last month on his latest outing.

Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 4f on soft and yielding ground. Won on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race when 6-4fav at Gowran Park over 2m 4f (yielding) earlier this month, beating Taraval by 7l.

EIGHT IS MY NUMBER will be strongly fancied to repeat his stable's success in this race 12 months ago. The selection stepped up on a couple of highly encouraging efforts (won a bumper first time out) when hacking up over 2m4f at Gowran last time (third has won since) and this extra half-a-mile can only help his cause. Mic's Delight is progressing all the time, however, and an extended 2m4f win on heavy ground at Leicester in February suggests that today's trip won't cause any problems, while Blenheim Brook looks best of the remaining pair although would probably need a downpour to trouble the leading protagonists.
Eight Is My Number looks a smart long-term prospect and is afforded plenty of respect, but he'll need to improve to get to grips with Mic's Delight, who should relish this step up to 3m.
He has won three hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 6-4fav at Kelso over 2m 1f (good to soft) last month, beating Signalman by 2l.

Nine Stories made the ideal start to his chasing career when scoring in workmanlike fashion over 2m1f at Kelso last month but his jumping would need to be a little sharper to follow up and preference is for SAM LORD. Having made a winning debut over fences, he has been unlucky to bump into a couple of high-class performers and Wind Shuffle's enthusiastic running style could set the race up perfectly for him today. On the other hand, Graham Lee could be dangerous if given an easy lead on Jim Goldie's charge, while Wikaala has winning course form under his belt and is certainly no forlorn hope.
Nine Stories should be suited by this right-handed track (jumped right on chase debut) and is selected to make it 2 out of 2 over fences, though Wikaala would be tough to beat if he was finally able to translate anything like his best hurdles form to fences.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on soft ground. Well beaten at 7-2fav behind Far Away So Close when 12th of 21 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 2m (good) earlier this month.

PLAN A could prove a cut above these rivals. He was far from disgraced when attracting a lot of market support and finishing fourth in the Grade 3 Fred Winter Hurdle at last month's Cheltenham Festival and possibly wasn't comfortable in the tongue-tie when disappointing at Aintree subsequently. That piece of tack has been left off today and he should take all the beating. Tout Regulier is now 2lb lower than her last winning mark and could go close if given an easy time of things out in front while Jim Goldie's pair, Toshi and Jewelled Dagger, both having winning C&D form under their belts and are worthy of consideration.
Toshi looks ready to win again at a course which suits his strengths. Plan A flopped in a tongue tie last time, but that piece of kit has been swiftly removed and it'll be no surprise should he bounce straight back for the Elliott/McCoy combination.
Has won four hurdle races, a NH flat race and five chases from 2m to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Beaten 17l by Rambling Minster when second of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Doncaster over 3m (good to soft) in February.

A winner of a chase at 2m 2f on heavy ground, but that win was over two years ago. Pulled up at the last when 10-1 at Kempton over 2m 4f (good to soft) in a chase won by Coup Royale in February on his latest outing.

Appleaday lost little in defeat when runner-up at Ascot last time and commands respect despite a 5lb rise in the handicap, but a chance is taken on LOGANS RUN. Although he will never make back the 220,000 pounds forked out for him as a four-year-old, he now has bumper, hurdles and chase wins under his belt and conditional jockey Paul Gallagher, who rides for the first time today, is great value for his 5lb claim. Third Level Tom is having his first run since joining Gordon Elliott's team and could be dangerous to leave out of calculations.
The switch to Gordon Elliott could well have put fire back in the belly of Third Level Tom, who is fancied to defy an absence and regain winning ways at the chief expense of Brooklyn Brownie and Appleaday.
He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 6f to 3m 2f on good to soft and soft ground, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 25-1 when last of 4 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Exeter over 2m 3f (good to firm) earlier this month.

OSCAR'S BALLAD makes plenty of appeal on his first run for the Gordon Elliott stable. He produced his best effort yet when a fast finishing third over 2m4f at Down Royal some six weeks ago and it looks significant that one of the best amateur riders in the game, Jamie Codd, has been booked to ride today. Nemetan has reached the frame in both outings so far this year and should be in the thick of the action once again, while Delightfully won readily under Grant Cockburn at Hexham last time and must be respected off a 5lb higher mark.
Oscar's Ballad is almost completely unexposed, and looks much the likeliest winner now starting off for Gordon Elliott. Seven Is Lucky and Nemetan are both capable of making the places on current form.
