Plan A would be very interesting if turned out under a penalty after his win here on Wednesday but stablemate SOUNDS OF THUNDER is also of interest with her 7lb fillies' allowance and gets the vote. The selection has shown plenty of promise in this sphere and opened her account at Tramore earlier this month. Connections were no doubt trying to exploit a generous Flat mark when turning her out in an all-weather handicap the following week but she found 1m2f on the sharp side. Returned to timber and back up in trip, a bold bid is anticipated. Renard D'Irlande arrives here in rude health and although raised in grade, is another to consider.

CAYO LEVANTADO remains open to further improvement over fences and gets the vote after a promising third at Fairyhouse when last sighted. Gordon Elliott's gelding was noted putting in his best work late on and the step up to 3m here could prove the catalyst for a first chase success. Rossini's Dancer has been in rampant mood on the northern circuit recently and bids to follow up victories at Musselburgh and Kelso to land a hat-trick. This longer trip aids his cause and a bold bid is anticipated. Columbus Secret also has claims if putting his best foot forward.

OSCAR'S BALLAD (engaged here yesterday) is likely to benefit from this longer trip and recent stable switch so is likely to be popular for Gordon Elliott if taking his place in the field. Crop Walker has improved for the step up to 3m the last twice and a 3lb rise for his recent Bangor second is unlikely to prevent him going close once more. Lewlaur Supreme looks handicapped to win and is another to consider now up in trip, having stayed on one-paced in the closing stages when runner-up over 2m4f at Newcastle last time. Dianne Sayer has recently been amongst the winners so Auberge is another to consider.

Roudoudou Ville has been raised 10lb for his recent Chepstow success but remains open to further improvement over this sort of trip and a bold bid looks on the cards. However, it might be worth giving another chance to STORMIN EXIT. Jim Goldie's gelding was well held in the Topham last time but this looks a more realistic assignment and he is taken to get back on the winning trail under James Reveley. Tartan Snow has done all of his recent winning over shorter but has place claims over this longer distance.

Sir Bathwick pulled up at Ffos Las on his last run under Rules but has boosted his confidence since by picking up a point-to-point and is respected in this moderate grade as a result. COMMERCIAL EXPRESS and Through The Mist are two others that have been performing with credit between the flags and both also merit consideration. Preference is for the former as he has shown a strong liking for this track previously (dual winner over 2m5f) and shouldn't have any problems seeing out this trip.

SHAMMICK BOY has shown plenty of promise in novice company and gets the vote now stepping up in trip for his handicap debut. The form of his latest third was subsequently boosted by the winner at Aintree and now dropped 8lb in the ratings, Victor Dartnall's charge gets the verdict. Martin Scruff is 30lb higher than when opening his account at Thurles in February but continues to progress with each run and another prominent showing is anticipated. South O'The Border is proven over C&D and versatile ground wise so is another to consider.
