Secret Sniper has scope for progression and has a fair chance of getting off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles. However, MINELLA YOGA's third-placed finish in the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham readily eclipses that and, given that Paul Nicholls rates the four-year-old as one of his brightest prospects, the former champion trainer appears to hold a trump card. Lau And Shaz is the pick of the rest.
This looks very likely to go to MINELLA YOGA who has looked useful at Newbury and Cheltenham in his last two starts. This should be easier company. Secret Sniper is progressing and can give the selection most to do. Lau And Shaz is third best having won at Wincanton and Hereford and being of a decent standard.

NOBLE BLUE has filled the runner-up berth in both starts since he reverted to racing under Rules and could be well placed to go one better. As this represents a drop in class from his latest outing, there is plenty to like. Saint Polo was well supported in the betting when second at Sedgefield and is respected as a potential improver over this longer trip. Gasmani looks best of the remainder.
This could go to the prolific ex-pointer NOBLE BLUE. He's made a good start under rules and will appreciate this step-up in trip. Saint Polo looks a danger having run well last time when stepped-up himself. Marhaba Million appeals as best of the rest.

It was a very modest race that Little Venice won at Wincanton, but this is no deeper and and she may well cope with a 4lb rise. However, JUST A HEARTBEAT has taken on much stiffer opposition and she could represent a bit more value with her sights lowered from the class 2 company she faced most recently. Ask Peter and Aquifolia are others to monitor in the betting.
This is quite a competitive mares' race that may go the way of LITTLE VENICE. She came back to form at Wincanton last time and granted a decent pace could follow-up. Dance Havana also appeals having run creditably off a long break last time and entitled to come on a bit for that run. Aquifolia and Just A Heartbeat are both unexposed and could take a hand.

Anytrixwilldo has been knocking on the door and is likely to be in the mix once again, but marginal preference is for ALWAYS BUSY. The eight-year-old bounced back to form when second at Southwell last week and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Wicked Thoughts is only 1lb higher than when winning at this venue in November and is another to note.
Lots of question marks over most of these and the most reliable choice seems to be ANYTRIXWILLDO who won this last year, is back in form and on a workable mark. Wicked Thoughts should contend. He probably made his move too soon when caught late last time and while not the most consistent has strong claims on his better form. Autonomous Cloud looks well treated at the weights on his hunter chase form but that may not be all that reliable and he has run well below that level of late in handicaps. All the same he has the potential to figure.

INFERNO SACREE added to February's C&D win at Plumpton last month and a further 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. The returning Earth King has not been at his very best in his last couple of starts but is a player based on his Uttoxeter win in July, while Al Sayah makes more appeal than Just A Rose.
The market may not suggest it but any of these four could win this. The safest option is INFERNO SACREE who is progressing back to his old form and would be well treated at the weights if he reproduced that. Earth King is back from a break but consistent. Al Sayah is entitled to come on from his reappearance run last time and Just A Rose gets all the aids having been a promising novice from a big yard that has so far failed to fulfil her potential.

HALL LANE improved from his return to action when runner-up at Huntingdon last month and Fergal O'Brien's gelding has every chance of going one better off the same mark. Illogical Logic was disappointing at Plumpton, but is better judged on his efforts prior and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the eight-year-old returned to form. McGregors Charge appeals most of the remainder.
Quite a tight handicap chase where preference is for HALL LANE who came back to better form last time. Mcgregors Charge disappointed last time, but had been in decent form before that and is a threat. A similar comment applies to Illogical Logic, who may also contend.

KILIFI CREEK cost 88,000 euros at the Goffs Arkle store sale last June and makes plenty of appeal on paper as a half-brother to Bud Fox, who won a bumper at the Punchestown Festival last year. Roll A Dollar filled the runner-up spot in a point-to-point last month and he has to enter calculations along with Olly Murphy's newcomer Lost In The Dream.
This will probably go to one of the debutants with Lost In The Dream and KILIFI CREEK appealing most. Ultimately the market will be the best guide but for now preference is for the latter who comes from last year's winning yard. Order Driven is probably best of the raced ones, with point second Roll A Dollar also interesting.
