Bumper winner OUR GUIDE took a step forward from his debut fifth over hurdles to land the odds at Exeter last month and is likely to have more to offer. This sizeable step up in trip could unlock any amount of improvement and he will prove tough to beat. Granite Sands was never dangerous when only fifth on his first start over obstacles at Hereford, but he could build on that display to have a say. Ka Mate Du Brivet looks best of the rest.
OUR GUIDE can defy a penalty here. The form of his Irish bumper win has worked out well and he built on a promising hurdle debut when off the mark in this sphere last time. That sets a clear standard on ratings and he should appreciate this step up in trip. Shuil Rocco looked one for staying handicaps last time but can run into a place on the podium alongside point winner Ka Mate Du Brivet who will need to jump better than he did first time out.

Miss Denver ran better than her odds suggested she would when third at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and has to be of interest on her chasing bow. Course winner Cawthorne Cracker also needs to be taken seriously, but CAPTAIN COOL has only found one too good the last twice over the smaller obstacles and could prove a different proposition now sent over fences.
It could be worth taking a chance with ALBA CRUS here on his chase debut. The form of his bumper victory has worked out well and he looks well treated on his placed effort over hurdles. Most of his stable's horses improve for the switch to fences and he should be no different. Fellow chase debutant Captain Cool is feared most on favourable fast ground having shown a consistent level of form over fences. Cawthorne Cracker is yet to win over fences but his hurdles victories came on quick ground and he arrives in form so is also respected.

Returned to form down in class in first time blinkers landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by sound surface; remains well treated on old form, could follow up.
She has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 3m on good and soft ground. A winner at 13-2 in a hurdle race at Taunton over 3m (good) on her latest outing last month, beating Poet's Muse by a head.

Jena D'oudairies appreciated the application of blinkers for the first time to strike at Taunton and should mount another bold bid, but it may pay to side with I AM THE MOON. The seven-year-old finished an underwhelming fourth in this class at Chepstow last month but, with Sam Twiston-Davies back on board and a 2lb lower rating, she could be the way to go. All Inn Hand is another to note.
This could prove to be a match race between All Inn Hand and JENA D'OUDAIRIES. The top weight proved progressive last summer and is well treated on that form but she ran abysmally over fences on her reappearance so has a bit to prove. The latter is preferred having returned to form with a win in first time blinkers last time. She remains well treated on her old maiden form and may have more to offer over staying trips. Mahon Falls is well treated on her best Irish efforts and isn't dismissed either though she will need to bounce back after a couple of disappointments.
Keen, made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; off a short-break; effective at 2m on good; could improve for switch to chasing but mark demands more.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good ground. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Aj's Diamond when last of 6 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Warwick over 2m (good) in March.

Look no further than A LITTLE SOMETHING. She has done more than enough in finishing second at Ludlow and Fontwell the last twice to suggest a race of this nature is well within her compass. Little Wren was pulled up at Plumpton, but is better judged on her previous Fakenham success for champion trainer Dan Skelton. Miss Fedora is next best.
The consistent A LITTLE SOMETHING can belatedly shed her maiden tag here. She was just out-battled late off this same mark last time and the slight drop in trip should suit at this sharp venue. Little Wren failed to build on a winning chase debut last time but is another who will appreciate the drop in distance. She looks the main danger ahead of chase debutant Pure Seduction who won on her first start over hurdles but didn't progress.
Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; off a short-break; effective at 2m on good to soft; in fair form.

FRANK STAMPER ought to take a bit of beating in this handicap hurdle. A lacklustre Wincanton display aside, he has performed well at Plumpton and Fontwell on two of his last three outings and a repeat of either of those efforts should be good enough here. Galactic Jack showed a bit more at Taunton and is noted along with Mi Sueno.
FRANK STAMPER has proven frustrating so far over hurdles often let down by his jumping at key stages. However he has also been given some average rides and he looks capable off this mark. He's only 1lb higher than when runner up last time and with this sharper track to suit over a shorter distance he is a strong selection. Reteti is relatively unexposed in this sphere but has shown a consistent level of form so may provide the main challenge. Galactic Jack will want a stiff test but has dropped to an attractive mark and also holds fair claims after a recent revival.
Outpaced, never competitive after series of errors having been hampered comfortably held in a handicap chase at Perth last time; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2m on sound surface, likely get 3m; progressive until latest.

TAPLEY clearly appreciates a sound surface and is taken to gain a second C&D success following his March victory off 3lb lower. The nine-year-old drops in grade after his recent third at Newton Abbot and this appears to be a fine opportunity for him to strike. A first-time visor might aid the cause of Bagheera Ginge on his first outing since October, while King Roly is entitled to bounce back from a below-par outing at Perth.
KING ROLY can resume the progression he showed over last summer. He was let down by his jumping on his reappearance but he is entitled to come on for that outing and the drop back in trip is a big positive. Jubilant was poor last time over hurdles but he's proven consistent in this discipline in small fields. He looks the biggest threat ahead of Arrycan who went too fast last time but showed up well for a long way. He is on a dangerous mark judged on his best Irish form.
Promising debut 9l fourth in a bumper at Fontwell first-time out; effective 2m1f, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience.
Full brother to Lord Leoso, won five times between 6f and 1m 6f. Finished 9l behind Magnifix Du Moulin when fourth of 9 at 3-1 on his racecourse debut at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month.

MAC'S MAX didn't quite build on his runner-up effort on debut at Newcastle in November when struggling to make an impact at Wetherby the following month. That may have been a quick enough turnaround and it would be no surprise to see Ben Haslam's gelding bounce back after being given time to recover. Lightsoutandaway is likely to build on his fourth at Fontwell and commands respect along with Bound For Glory.
LIGHTSOUTANDAWAY wasn't beaten all that far on debut so looks the one to beat with that experience under his belt and this sharper track to suit. Soft ground was a plausible excuse for Mac's Max last time and he would have every chance if back to the level of form of his debut effort. Scotto represents a yard which can get first time out winners in both codes and has Bowen booked so is also worth following in the betting.
