In a contest where all of these have questions to answer, TOM CREEN looks to be the safest option. Runner-up here over shorter in December off a 6lb higher mark, he wasn't disgraced over C&D last month and that might give him the edge. Arctic Saint has had a wind operation ahead of his chase debut which could aid his cause, while Cardamon Hill appears best of the remainder.
Course specialist TOM CREEN can snap his losing run. He's now 6lb below his last winning mark and his latest revival here is worth marking up as he did too much too soon and was outstayed late. Arctic Saint proved consistent over hurdles until his last run and could prove the biggest danger with the promise of more to come over fences. Dual purpose performer Isle Of Sark has yet to take to chasing but is well treated on his hurdles form so isn't dismissed either in a weak race.
Improved again just lacking speed of winner when second beaten a length in a novice hurdle at Newcastle latest; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good to firm; more to come over hurdles now stepped up in trip, will win soon.

DARTMOUTH CASTLE has improved with each run over hurdles, most notably when runner-up last time at Newcastle. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Donald McCain's gelding to get off the mark in this sphere, having won a bumper here last May. Wendywilldo returns from just over a year off the track and has to be respected along with Whenthemusicstops.
DARTMOUTH CASTLE is the obvious pick here. He's a bumper winner at this venue and has proven steadily progressive over hurdles with his recent runner up effort behind a useful yardstick setting the clear standard. Whenthemusicstops has shown minor promise on both of his starts so far and the return to better ground will suit. He can chase the selection home ahead of the inconsistent Wendywilldo who may just need this after a lay off.
Ran to form when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; Flat winner showed useful form in that sphere; can make a hurdler.
Finished 8l behind Team Player when fourth of 11 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Newcastle over 2m in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ivan Furtado.

CHEMISTRY was a smart performer on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and the five-year-old may enjoy the switch to this new discipline. If translating any of that ability, he is likely to prove a warm order. Rebel Tribesman was beaten on his hurdling bow over C&D and is likely to have benefited from that experience. The rest have plenty to prove, but Kuredu King appeals most after a wind operation.
The form of REBEL TRIBESMAN's bumper win last spring has worked out extremely well and he shaped with plenty of promise behind a more experienced rival here on his hurdling debut. He's entitled to come on for that first run in nearly a year and can defeat debutant Chemistry who showed a high level of form on the Flat where he was a winner over 10f. Kuredu King also proved useful on the Flat over middle to staying trips and he could leave the form of his hurdle debut behind following a wind op.
Good ride taking closer order after bad error mid race, got first run, improved landing a handicap by a length off a 1lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; progressing over fences.
He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 1m 7f to 3m on good to soft and heavy ground. A winner at 7-2 in a chase at Wetherby over 3m (good to soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Eaton Anne by 1l. Has also won at Ffos Las this season.

JONGLEUR D'ETOILES is 2lb well in after being reassessed following a close second at Doncaster most recently and Neil Mulholland's gelding makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to go one better. The veteran Goodoldbill competes from 2lb out of the handicap, but he does arrive on the back of consecutive wins, while stepping back up in trip can aid the cause of Defence Witness.
A strong race where top weight The Grey Man is likely to prove popular in his hat trick bid having shown a willing attitude under a fine ride last time. However that form has had a knock since so he will need to improve to follow up despite racing off a mark just 1lb higher. Instead it could be best to side with JONGLEUR D'ETOILES who remains a maiden over fences but went very close last time having brushed up on his jumping. The winner that day has franked the form so he holds obvious claims off an unchanged mark. Mobile Mamma looked a natural when making a winning chase debut and she could leave her reappearance form behind here posing a challenge.
May not have stayed down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on sound surface; fair mark on spring form, must bounce back and big stamina concerns.

DILLARCHIE had Wee Alki a length in arrears over C&D last month and might take some beating in pursuit of her hat-trick, especially when noting that she is only 1lb worse off with the latter. East Eagle arrives on the back of a Catterick second but was also defeated by the selection on his penultimate start, so class-dropper Star Vantage might be a bigger threat.
There wasn't much between Dillarchie and Wee Alki here last time and the pair should remain competitive. The former remains well treated on her old form in her hat trick bid while the latter is likely to get an easy lead so could build on his recent revival. However the consistent EAST EAGLE is preferred racing off just 1lb higher than when runner up last time. He is closely matched with the favourite on their meeting here earlier in the year and gets a big pull at the weights.
Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 2m, acts on good; bit more needed in both codes to defy current mark.

KING SACRE couldn't lay a glove on Klitschko over C&D on his handicap bow last time out, but that was still a big step forward on what he'd shown previously. This is no penalty kick for Nigel Hawke's charge but he should still have more in the locker, and an ease in grade will do his chances no harm either. Clean Getaway is better known for his chasing exploits, as evidenced here recently, though he is still a player, as is Blackwater Lilly, who built on a promising Flat effort to hit the frame over track and trip earlier in the month.
A tight contest where most of the field can be given a chance. It is WILLIAM YEATS who gets the verdict on his handicap debut having placed under a considerate ride on his final qualifying run. He's already a bumper winner here and is open to plenty of improvement on favourable drying ground. Nevershedatear put it up to a heavily backed handicap blot last time and could be the biggest danger if able to lay up early over this shorter trip. Course specialist Clean Getaway is also respected returning to hurdles off what looks a generous mark based on his recent chase win.
