TOBY LERONE pulled up when stepped up in grade and sent over the larger obstacles at Haydock last time but an improved performance is anticipated now returned to the same C&D he landed a novices' hurdle over last month. Brod Na Heireann makes some appeal on his maiden fourth at Stratford on his penultimate outing and is considered the main danger ahead of Zephyros Bleu, who finished a distant third on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter.

SMART EXIT struck over C&D in January last year when registering the second of his three career victories. He's progressed over a stone in the ratings since and his latest performance, when second at Chepstow over an extended 2m7f, suggested he's not finished improving yet. Georgian King, 11 lengths adrift of the selection latest, is similarly proven under these conditions and can battle it out with recent Wincanton second Market Option for the silver medal.

BURGUNDY BETTY offered a little more when switched to handicaps over 3m1f at Huntingdon last time. Ben Pauling's representative was still beaten by over eight lengths into fifth, though the fitting of first-time cheekpieces this afternoon could spark some immediate improvement as he returns on an unchanged mark. Earcomesthedream has won over C&D in the past, while any money for Lucy Wadham's handicap debutant Whispering Speed would be notable.

ST JOHNS POINT, a course winner over hurdles, appears to be getting the hang of things over fences and should remain competitive after a 2lb rise for finishing second to Chicoria, who he meets on 4lb better terms this afternoon, at Market Rasen last month. Iora Glas pulled up on his chasing bow at Newcastle and needs to improve in order to figure. A bigger danger may be winning pointer Glenwood Star, who tackles the larger obstacles for the first time.

Jim Best's hurdling debutant GENEROUS JACK ran well on all three of his bumper outings after making a winning debut at Uttoxeter last year and it will be interesting to see how well he's schooled in the 297 days he's been off the track. Also tackling timber for the first time are recent Southwell bumper second Give Him A Glance and Irish recruit Que Sera, who debuts for Philip Hobbs. Exeter fourth Solomn Grundy must also enter calculations.

CARHUE PRINCESS saves her best for this track and she is 2lb below her last winning mark. She deserves a chance, but Riddlestown is only reluctantly passed over as he successfully switched to hurdles at Southwell earlier this month and was a good runner-up over fences the time before that. Petit Ecuyer was a solid runner-up at Plumpton on Monday, and perhaps a return to this venue can prompt an improved performance from Monty's Revenge.

Alan King took this prize last year and his CAJUN FIDDLE has to enter calculations after finishing an encouraging second at Wetherby on debut. She should improve for that experience, but a similar case can be made for Postbridge, who finished runner-up on her first outing at Fakenham and represents a yard in excellent nick. Miss Giselle probably faced an impossible task when bumping into The Nipper at Bangor and any market support behind the point winner Sweetlittlekitty might be worth noting.
