Unplaced in both NH starts. Well beaten at 10-3 behind Klub De Reve when sixth of 11 on his hurdling debut at Kempton over 2m (good) in December last year. He is wearing a hood for the first time.

Ionian may fare better than he did at Kempton on Boxing Day now fitted with a first-time hood, but is possibly best watched for now and CRACKERJACQUE makes more sense. No match for No Drama This End in a Grade 2 here last time, Anthony Honeyball's charge should find this easier and he has Sam Twiston-Davies back in the saddle. The Cistercian and Sinchi Roca are also considered.

BOLLIN THOU won as odds suggested at Lingfield last time out and, although this is tougher, the progressive hurdler is taken to go in again on ground which clearly suits. Calme Olympien got off the mark at Ffos Las and has been freshened up, but the main danger is Precious Metal, who is a Listed bumper winner and makes his handicap bow off a possible workable rating.

Soldierofthestorm and Rip Wheeler must be considered closely here, the latter especially as he's won two of his last three starts and now tries first-time blinkers. Just a tentative vote is for NORN IRON, who stretches out in distance for this assignment and could improve significantly on what he's achieved in two starts over fences so far at Warwick and Windsor.

Jax Junior has to be respected on his handicap debut following a wind operation since his last appearance. That said, a chance can be taken on GUNSIGHT RIDGE, who has not been at his best of late but that means that he arrives here on the same mark as when successful in this contest 12 months ago. The consistent Escapeandevade edges out Dr T J Eckleburg and Kotmask to be best of the rest.

KITZBUHEL created a very big impression when winning well in the Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day and Willie Mullins' gelding is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. The main danger looks to be Kala Conti, who has won both of her starts over fences easily and receives a useful 7lb allowance. However, neither of Miami Magic or Sixmilebridge should be discounted but the latter is arguably the pick of that pair.

After being outpaced before the last, Henri The Second did well to stay on strongly to just be touched off over 2m4f here last time and he will appreciate this step back up in trip. However, PARTY VIBES hit the line powerfully when victorious over an extended 2m4f at Cheltenham and could improve for this step up in distance. Provided Henry Daly's mare is as effective against the boys, she could prove hard to beat. Roaring Conquest completes the shortlist.

Despite failing to complete the four-timer, Mr Vango was far from disgraced when only beaten a short-head into second in the Becher at Aintree and his chance is there for all to see. However, FORTUNATE MAN was a convincing winner at the same venue on Boxing Day and could have a lot more in the locker. A 5lb rise might underestimate the manner of that success and he looks the one to beat. Pic Roc may also have a say.
