Calett Mad and CREEVYTENNANT are talented chasers who both make plenty of appeal this afternoon. The nod goes to the latter because he managed to win over this trip here at the beginning of last month, whereas Calett Mad has not been seen since his good run at Ayr in April. Ebony Rose won a minor handicap over C&D earlier in the month but does appear to be vulnerable under a double penalty.

This is not a strong race but the preference is for JET MASTER based on his narrow defeat over 3m here two starts ago. The drop in trip is a slight concern but he did win a similar event over hurdles here 12 months ago. Strong Economy and Thunder Sheik are the main form dangers, in that order, but they have to bounce back from very poor runs last time out.

MUMGOS DEBUT faced a tough task in a valuable event last time out but his previous victory at Carlisle gives the nine-year-old a big chance this afternoon. The lack of a recent run is a slight concern but he has gone well fresh in the past. Dr Moloney (fourth at Sligo yesterday) confirmed his well-being when finishing second at Hexham a couple of weeks ago, while Instingtive will probably need the others to meet some trouble to be winning this event.

Golden Jeffrey and Trongate set the standard of those with hurdles form but they may be vulnerable this afternoon. HELLO BERTIE has shown promise in both of his bumper starts to date and he is bred to improve for the switch to hurdles. Snobbery won a Wolverhampton maiden back in December, earning a rating of 78 on the Flat, and connections had to part with 31,000gns to secure him at the sales in February.

Nigel Twiston-Davies enjoys targeting this meeting with some of his better quality horses, Flying Angel and Double Ross two recent examples of winners in this race for the yard, and Ballyandy returns once again having finished runner-up to Moon Racer here 12 months ago in a novice hurdle. His season didn't exactly go the way as expected, apart from winning the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury, and he faces a stiff assignment on his chasing debut where it isn't guaranteed he will improve on his hurdles form. Preference therefore goes to former Albert Bartlett runner-up FAGAN, who was last seen here over 3m getting the upper hand over Beat That, who fell at the last, and he can use his assured stamina on this testing ground. The other two in the field, Chitu and Mr Monochrome, both have a solid level of form in their own right and can make their mark on proceedings.

VERTIGO returns from his summer break and is one of only two in the field to have winning form on heavy ground and the application of a first-time tongue tie is another factor which could elicit further improvement. Pat's Oscar was successful at Perth yesterday and is the other heavy ground winner in the field so would have to be considered if turned out quickly. Ceegem, on handicap debut, and Munstead Pride are also considered threats to the selection.

KARINGO appeared to relish softer ground when winning over C&D by five lengths on his latest start and, with similar conditions to encounter here, the son of Karinga Bay should be able to produce another solid performance. Viognier is one capable of improvement making her handicap debut and stepping up in distance, while others to consider include Solway Palm and Devito'sgoldengirl who both have the potential for more to come.
