John Monash wasn't winning out of turn here earlier this month and will be buoyed by that impressive success, while Tuesday's chase runner-up Russian Regent is another to take seriously. TRADITIONAL DANCER is the one they've all got to beat if running up to a mark of 125, though, and he makes most appeal going back up in distance following a surprise reverse at Kelso in handicap company last time.

IMPULSIVE AMERICAN, an admirable dual-purpose performer, has been in great form in recent months and is expected to go very well again in this handicap hurdle. Since April, the son of American Post has won twice over hurdles, once on the level and twice over fences, most recently here on Tuesday evening. He is very much the one they've got to beat. Hostile Fire fell when giving the selection a race on Tuesday so the chief threat could be Mardale.

DR MOLONEY is one of two C&D winners in the field and ran well enough for third here on Tuesday night. Add to that the booking of champion jockey Richard Johnson and there is plenty to like about his profile. His form may have taken a boost in the opener on this card and he's taken to get the better of last night's winner Nefyn Bay and Heist.

BALLYKAN looked sure to win last time at Stratford when bizarrely running out before the final fence and sending Daryl Jacob flying to the turf. To compensate for that, he has first time cheekpieces to help him concentrate and he remains on the same mark that he ran off last time. Realt Mor is undoubtedly fairly treated on his old form and merits respect, while Lowanbehold may have more to offer if turning out again after Tuesday's spin here.

If Blake Dean is turned out quickly after his triumph here on Tuesday evening, he would merit the utmost respect for Gordon Elliott but preference goes to MISFITS, who ran his best race over C&D back in April and while he didn't exactly cover himself with glory on Tuesday, still makes appeal on his handicap debut. Huehuecoytle has claims making his handicap debut for Keith Dalgleish, while Cullentry Royal could bounce back to form.

Vision De La Vie jumped well at this venue last time out and has the services of Richard Johnson for just the second time, but that wasn't the strongest race and a 5lb rise from the handicapper won't make life easy. A more reliable option might be WYFIELD ROSE, who made all here last month under Henry Brooke and demolished a decent field by 17 lengths. The form of that success has surprisingly not been taken too literally, with just a 3lb punishment handed to Alistair Whillans' mare. Heart O Annandale must be respected for a trainer/jockey combination who boast an excellent strike-rate when teaming up.

WESTINMARE was given a patient ride by Nina Carberry at Downpatrick a fortnight ago when claiming victory and the form of that bumper could work out to be useful. This looks like a winnable opportunity to add further winning experience to her bow and connections will be disappointed if she can't take this before moving onto hurdles. Wizard's Sliabh ran well to finish second on debut and should have come on plenty for that for a yard who enjoy winners at this venue, with Pads and Rosie Fifty One fancied to fight it out for minor honours.
