MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE bounced back to form with an excellent runner-up effort in a valuable novices' handicap at Kelso last month and this looks like a winnable affair on paper. Magical Poetic Music drops in class having contested the Mares' Novice at Cheltenham and has to enter calculations, while Donso Star and Beauty To Behold could fight it out for the minor honours.

The in-form RICKETY GATE was still very much in contention when falling two out at Doncaster in January and he can gain compensation on this occasion. Dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him either as he looks to see off the likes of Carlisle winner Kingston Bridge, and Ninetofive, who could be dangerous on his handicap debut. Others to note include Anti Bridgie, Okavango Delta and Wearelongterm.

A tentative vote goes to CABOY, who has not been outside the first two in his last four starts and has the potential to improve for going up in trip. A mark of 97 still looks manageable, and he may have too much for the capable Niceandeasy, who is 2lb lower than his last winning. Flying Verse and Smuggler's Blues, who sports first-time blinkers, appear best of the remainder.

Caius Marcius won by a length over 3m at Doncaster last time and has been raised 3lb for that effort, which might not be enough to prevent him from going very close. However, the vote goes to the Lucinda Russell-trained SNAKE ROLL, who has contested Grade 2 company the last twice and wasn't beaten far into third in the latest of those outings at Kelso. The son of Jet Away now contests a handicap for the first time and could go well off what could prove to be a workable opening mark. Rafferty's Return completes the shortlist.

WHISTLEINTHEDARK landed the hat-trick on his most recent outing at Kempton when maintaining his unbeaten record over fences. With the likelihood of more to come in this sphere, he can prove too strong for the opposition. The main threat is likely to come from Riders Onthe Storm, who continues to drop in the weights and has champion jockey Brian Hughes booked. Cornerstone Lad would have claims based on his penultimate second at Haydock.

MISS MILANO returned from a break to hose up by 17 lengths at Doncaster over 3m and the daughter of Milan was leniently put up 6lb for that effort. This is a step up in class, but, considering the manner of that victory, it is likely she could prove tough to beat once more. The connections of Castle Rushen will be hoping a change in headgear to a first-time visor may bring out further improvement, while Salvino will appreciate the drop in class.

DUYFKEN was possibly a bit too keen in the early stages when he was edged out in a series final at Musselburgh last month, but a more settled approach could be enough for him to take full advantage of this drop in class. Bruce Lynn knows the selection well and his 3lb claim is a handy asset. The unexposed Thistlebuffs could have more to give with a tongue-tie now applied, while recent Wetherby winner Darkest Day is also feared off just 4lb higher.

SANITISER, who has won off 86 on the Flat, has shown an aptitude for this discipline since switching codes and offers strong appeal in race of this nature. This marks a slight drop in class for the gelding and he may have too much toe for the likes of Leopolds Rock and Derracrin, who both warrant respect judged on the pick of their previous hurdles form.
