Beauchamp Viking made a pleasing reappearance at Taunton last month and is respected on that form but the ground has turned against him. KAP WEST won at Hereford last month and that form has been franked by the runner-up Blue Hills winning twice since so he is fancied to defy a 7lb rise. Devils River has each-way claims and Todareistodo should not be overlooked off a lowly mark on his chasing debut.
Kap West gained a deserved success at Hereford last month and this looks a good opportunity for the follow up. Todareistodo is an interesting contender now chasing.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on soft ground. Fell 3 out when 11-1 at Newbury over 2m 5f (good) in a hurdle race won by Tante Sissi last month on her latest outing.

NATIVE BEAUTY was in the process of running a nice race in a Listed event at Newbury last month before coming down three out and this looks like a decent opening for her. W Six Times shaped nicely on her debut in a Fakenham bumper earlier this month and she is worthy of consideration on her hurdles bow. McKyla has shown some ability in bumpers and she has place prospects along with Egretta Island.
Native Beauty sets a pretty good standard and is very much the one to beat. W Six Times looks like the most interesting hurdling debutante and can emerge as the biggest danger, ahead of Egretta Island.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 3f on heavy ground. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Volador when 13th of 15 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (good to soft) last month.

He has won two NH flat races and a chase from 1m 4f to 3m 2f on good and soft ground. A winner at 13-8 in a maiden chase at Newton Abbot over 3m 2f (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Perfectly Willing by 5l.

Chapel House has progressed in leaps and bounds this year and after three wins in his last four, he must be respected. The handicapper has taken note of his progress, however, so slight preference is for UPTHEMSTEPS. He performed with credit when runner-up over 2m4f at Chepstow last time and the application of blinkers could spark a little improvement. Ballyoliver, Brixen and recent Newton Abbot winner Referent also make the shortlist.
Chapel House arrives at the top of his game and can record his fourth win from his last 5 starts. Brixen has acquitted herself well this year and looks the biggest threat to the selection.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase at 2m on good to soft and soft ground. Beaten 12l behind Buckie Boy at 14-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Taunton over 2m 3f (good) last month.

Sendinpost has been knocking on the door over a variety of trips and she might prefer a stiffer test than this ideally so a chance is taken on ORANG OUTAN. He has not been at his best in two starts this season but is now just 3lb higher than when winning over this C&D last year and he takes a drop in class today. Glan Lady could also be in the shake-up while Around A Pound should not be left out of calculations.
Sendinpost looks worth a try at this trip and can gain an overdue first win over hurdles. Orang Outan should be happier back at this track and can go well, while Glan Lady is respected on her first start for Jonjo O'Neill.

Bellosguardo and Montauk Highway both come into this on the back of decent efforts in Hunters' Chases last time and they command respect but it might be best to focus on the two that bring recent winning point-to-point form to the table, Bleuvito and IT WAS ME. Nicholas Wright's seven-year-old has a good record between the flags and has some scope for improvement so he could prove a good deal better than these rivals.
Montauk Highway sets the standard on Rules form, and he's sure to be thereabouts, but It Was Me has impressed in winning 3 of 4 completed points this term and will prove hard to beat if adapting to these fences. Bellosguardo looks next best having caught the eye here on his hunter debut.
Well beaten at 9-4fav behind Venceremos when eighth of 10 on his racecourse debut over this course and distance (good) last month.

SEEBRIGHT could not live with Puffin Billy on his debut at Fontwell but he still shaped encouragingly and is entitled to improve for the experience so he can give a good account here. Follow The Facts was bitterly disappointing on debut here but much better was expected on that occasion and he could fare better this time. Magic Moon and Jack The Cracker are interesting debutants as they both represent stables capable of readying a newcomer to strike.
Money for any of the newcomers from yards with decent records in these events would certainly be significant, but it's perhaps best to stick with those with experience. Seebright and Lower Hope Dandy both offered enough on debut to suggest they'll be winning races, the former just getting the nod.
