This might not take much winning and it's worth siding with LIVING PROOF, who hadn't shown much over hurdles until finishing a close second over 2m 4f at Fontwell last month. She's up 5lb and in class but a repeat of that effort should be enough to land the spoils here. Dot Or Feather has finished third in his last two starts while Salford Rose could be improving but they have both been well beaten of late and need to improve. Halucha is clearly on an upward curve and looks the one for the forecast.
Living Proof arrives here on the back of a good recent effort and looks sure to make her presence felt, but she remains vulnerable in view of another 5 lb rise and preference is for Halucha, who was going the right way when last seen in the spring and has more to offer back up in trip on his handicap bow.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good ground. Third of 5 behind Golden View beaten 33l at 9-4jt-fav on his chase debut at Cartmel over 2m 5f (soft) in August.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on yielding ground. Pulled up 3 out when 14-1 at Ballinrobe over 2m (good) in a hurdle race won by Baby Whizz in July on his latest NH outing.

He has won four hurdle races at 2m on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Beaten 20l behind Rumble Of Thunder at 16-1 when eighth of 15 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Market Rasen over 2m 1f (good) last month.

She has won three hurdle races from 2m 4f to 2m 6f on good to firm and good ground. Third of 10 behind Very Stylish beaten 8l at 25-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Worcester over 2m 4f (good) in June.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 3f on good to firm ground. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Yemeni Princess when fifth of 9 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good to firm) last month.

This looks a good opportunity for DICA to open his account over fences at the second time of asking. His jumping wasn't always foot perfect on his chasing debut when third over 2m 6f at Cartmel in August but he ran pretty well for a long way before tiring late on. Over this shorter trip and with the recent experience under his belt, he can score here. The danger looks to be Olympian, who needs to improve on his two efforts over fences, but could put his experience to good advantage while Stratford hurdles winner Reg's Ruby could go well first time over fences.
Olympian can hardly be considered a certainty given how he performed on his chase debut in August, but he's much the best of the quintet over hurdles and has to be given another chance. Dica could be the one for the forecast.
Placed in a hurdle race from eight starts. Well beaten at 12-1 behind I Can Run Can You when sixth of 8 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (good to firm) last month.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good to firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 4-1 behind Orang Outan when fifth of 7 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (soft) in February.

He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m 1f to 2m 3f on good to firm and good ground, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 13l behind Nicky Nutjob when fourth of 11 at 6-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Hereford over 2m 1f (good) in August.

A winner at 5-1 in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Bazart by 3l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

In a wide-open contest, it might pay to stick with BACK TO PARIS, who scored over 2m at Uttoxeter last Sunday. He's taken a while to get the hang of things over timber and carries a 7lb penalty today but still looks open to some improvement. The danger could prove to be Munich, who has progressed on his three runs over timber but looks to have plenty of weight in his handicap debut. Phoenix Eye has sound claims off this mark on his best form but hasn't won for more than two years.
Back To Paris has struggled to string decent performances together in the past, but is the only one who arrives here at the top of his game. Giant O Murchu and Lombok are 2 potential dangers.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good to firm ground. Finished 9l behind Teshali when sixth of 9 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (good to firm) last month.

Alarming Alacarity ran well for a fair way on his hurdling debut in this grade at Stratford but looks to have plenty on his plate on his first run for 13 months. Run Along Boy has been placed in four of his last six starts over timber but is flattered by his form figures and needs to raise his game. QUIET WHISPER looks the one to beat. A C&D winner in May, he's run with credit since in handicap company and looks far too good for these rivals.
Quiet Whisper and Run Along Boy look to have this between them, with preference for the former who returns to the scene of his win in May.
Unplaced in all nine starts. Finished 11l behind Winning Show when fifth of 13 at 50-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Plumpton over 2m 5f (good to firm) last month.

Nicky Nutjob scored by six lengths at Hereford in August but has to carry another 9lb here while his record of two wins from 26 starts over timber tells its own story. Before Bruce has shown signs of ability but is not the most consistent and needs to step up a gear. It's worth taking a chance on POBS TROPHY, who won off a 5lb higher mark at Plumpton last November. He's struggled since but showed signs of a return to form when fourth at the same track last month and hasn't too much more to find here.
It's hard to make out a strong case for any but Django Reinhardt looks fairly treated on the pick of his efforts over hurdles and is worth chancing after shaping better than the result last time. Before Bruce is a tentative pick for the forecast.
Has won two hurdle races and eight chases from 2m to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Beaten 4l by Papradon when second of 6 at 10-3 on his latest outing in a chase at Worcester over 2m 7f (good to firm) in August.

Von Galen won this last year off a 7lb higher mark but makes little appeal on recent efforts. Ballygulleen and Overton Lad have claims on their best form but don't look at their peak while Keltic Lord can never be overlooked but, at 15 years of age, can't have many pay days left. MARKED MAN is the same age but won off this mark at Worcester last summer. His recent second at the same track suggests he still retains his enthusiasm for the game and he's taken to win the battle of the veterans.
Overton Lad and last year's winner Von Galen are respected in view of their records around this circuit, but the pair have something to prove at present and old-timer Marked Man looks a safer proposition.
Dam a lightly raced maiden. Third of 8 behind Dj Milan beaten 19l at 22-1 on his racecourse debut at Hereford over 2m 1f (good) in August.

North Yorkshire trainer Alan Swinbank has an outstanding record in these contests and the fact he's sent THE FERICK all the way down here for his debut is a tip in itself. The well-bred five-year-old cost 21,000 pounds as a yearling and should make his first appearance in public a winning one. Dirty Bertie and Ballyturn Boy look the pick of those with experience but have plenty to find and another debutant, Numerology, could prove the danger.
Those with experience have hardly set the world alight, and there's every chance newcomers Numerology and The Ferick will have too much speed for their rivals, the latter given the nod.
