Gordon Elliott often has success on his raiding missions here and his impressive Downpatrick winner YOUGHAL BY THE SEA can follow up that triumph. Placedela Concorde has won two of his last three and has the chance to build on his course and distance success from earlier this month, while Ask Paddington impressed in a bumper at this venue last time and can't be ruled out going over hurdles for the first time.

ONE FOR BILLY has made a likeable transition to fences and having been beaten in novice company by just half a length at Ffos Las on his debut in this sphere, he got off the mark in good style at Stratford last time. Dan Skelton's six-year-old can follow up, with Gordon Elliott's Graineyhill and Caius Marcius, who has knocked on the door the last twice, expected to give the gelding most to think about.

GO ANOTHER ONE knocked on the door at Bellewstown on his first start in 2018 and that likeable run will have put the consistent Irish raider spot on as he bids to get off the mark over hurdles. Anytime Now has to be respected given his connections and is sure to be popular, while Farocco went close here last time and must be on the shortlist despite being officially rated 8lb inferior to the selection.

Prolific pointer LOTUS POND has proved just as effective under Rules of late, racking up a quick-fire hat-trick, and Peter Bowen's 10-year-old is hard to oppose once again carrying bottom weight. Flaxen Flare and track and trip winner Swingbridge give Gordon Elliott a strong hand, while the veteran Ballyboker Breeze was back to winning ways at Aintree last time and has to be respected.

STRONG TEAM was over two lengths ahead of the reopposing Great Colaci when scoring over course and distance last time and on these revised terms, Chris Grant's youngster can confirm the form. Hexham winner Sense Of Urgency was a beaten favourite over track and trip last time, but has to be respected, with the lightly-raced Shackles also noted as he is open to any amount of improvement.

Course and distance winner Boy's On Tour was well held off this mark at Carlisle last time and has questions to answer now, therefore a chance is taken on the dual point winner CRACK OF THUNDER, who makes his first start for Gordon Ellliott after over a year off the track. Market Rasen second Rhythm Of Sound has to be respected off the same mark, while Reverse The Charge boasts some smart form and the Hexham winner is another to note.

THE JAM MAN, third here in April when seeing his three-race winning run come to an end, was back to winning ways at Hexham last time and looks set for a leading role once again off 7lb higher. Gordon Elliott's pair Dawerann and Rightdownthemiddle are both respected, while Loud And Clear has knocked on the door of late and is a must for the shortlist.
