LOUIS VERON has filled second place on both previous outings and it would be no surprise to see Dan Skelton's gelding go one better on this occasion. Dunstall Star fell on his hurdling debut a month ago but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while Lyric is surely better than what he displayed at Musselburgh in March.
This should prove straightforward for LOUIS VERON, who although beaten at odds of 4-9 last time, was still confirming his debut level and appears to have be presented with a straightforward opening here. Dunstall Star fell late at Warwick last time having been too keen but he's a bumper winner who can surely do better yet if relaxing. He's the danger, although Garde My Guinness has plenty of experience and some fair bumper form to her name.
Returned to form down in grade, outclassing rivals landing a handicap by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form; effective at around 2m4f on sound surface; remains well treated on best Irish form although stamina to prove.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 4f and 2m 5f on good to firm and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-8fav at Huntingdon over 2m 5f (good to firm) last month, beating Charlie My Boy by 10l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

It is hard to oppose TYSON, who bolted up for the second time in three starts at Huntingdon nine days ago. A 7lb penalty for that success is unlikely to stop the six-year-old given how weak this contest appears to be. Baltray was third at Newton Abbot last time and is likely to be in the mix for the places once again, while similar comments apply to Spitalfield.
Tyson has won two of his last three and could easily go in again under a penalty although he does have stamina to prove stepping up markedly in trip from an extended 2m4f. Let's side with BALTRAY, who returned to form when third at Newton Abbot last time and rates a solid alternative. He's yet to win a handicap, but goes from an easing mark and has proven stamina. Spitalfield often travels without finding a great deal but is still to be considered in what is a winnable race.
Keen, outpaced, below form up in trip under penalty when fourth beaten 24l in a novice hurdle at Wincanton latest; off a short-break; effective around 2m on a sound surface; needs more now handicapping.

Dream's Ka merits plenty of respect following his Bangor success last month, but a 12lb higher mark has to be a concern. As a result, preference is for MODERN STYLE, whose winning run came to an end at Uttoxeter last time but he was not disgraced when a close second on that occasion. Midnight View did not appear to stay when upped to 2m5f on his most recent start and should find this trip more suitable.
The progressive Dream's Ka was off the mark with a bit in hand at Bangor last time and should have more to offer being a 4yo, but he's gone up a hefty 12lb and needs more to follow up. He could be up to it, but there are alternatives with MODERN STYLE looking a decent shout as a fellow 4yo who should relish the step back up in trip - he failed in his hat-trick bid last time when dropping from 2m3f down to 2m. His mark is still decent. Amatchmadeinheaven was too keen overly further last time and appeals as one likely to progress now down in trip and handicapping.
Mistakes, not disgraced on chase debut after wind op when 17l third in a handicap chase at Ludlow most recent run; effective 2m6f-3m, suited by decent ground; more to come over fences now stepped up in distance.
She has won three hurdle races from 2m 6f to 3m on good ground. Third of 5 behind Regal Renaissance beaten 17l at 10-1 on her chase debut at Ludlow over 2m 4f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time.

THICKTHORN TOM didn't beat much at Newton Abbot last week but he was in a determined mood and will take some overhauling if he is in the same frame of mind. Obviously, a 7lb penalty complicates matters and the consistent Carpe Diem could be a big danger on these terms. Misteroddsocks gets weight from the rest and is another to keep an eye on with the step up in trip a potential source for improvement.
This can go to THICKTHORN TOM, who got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot last time and might be up to defying a penalty. He's from a good yard and has more to offer. Carpe Diem is a consistent sort who stays well and he seems likely to be thereabouts once more, so rates the danger, although Northern Symphonie has a bigger effort in her yet since having her wind done and now gets blinkers first time.

With the stable firing on all cylinders at present, this could prove a good opportunity for BEST NIGHT to regain the winning thread. Although the five-year-old has proved somewhat underwhelming on her last two outings, she is effectively 5lb lower than her Huntingdon triumph in March if taking Rian Corcoran's claim into account. Siorai should find this easier than when sixth on her handicap bow at Sandown in April and is feared most, ahead of Quick Of The Night.
Siorai ran well up to a point in a Class 2 handicap at Sandown last time and she must have a chance now back in a Class 5, but after BEORMA won with ease on her recent chasing debut at Worcester, when tried in a tongue-tie, it's hard to go against her here back hurdling from the same mark. Northern Air has breathing issues but she's capable on her day and should be suited by the return to hurdles.
Mistakes, outpaced, below form but did see out the longer trip when 43l third in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; returning from a break; effective 2m4f, acts with cut; possible improver now chasing.
Placed in a hurdle race from three starts. Third of 8 behind Fillyoureye beaten 43l at 11-2 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Punchestown over 2m 7f (soft - heavy) in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Martin Brassil in Ireland.

Having returned to form with a good second over C&D last month, THEONLYWAYISWESSEX could be poised to strike. The eight-year-old is entitled to improve for that seasonal debut and he makes plenty of appeal racing off an unaltered mark. Royal Deeside has posted a string of creditable efforts in defeat of late and he should give his running once more, while Zestful Hope competes off a workable rating.
The consistent Royal Deeside has a real liking for Hexham, but he's run plenty of good races elsewhere and his mark remains competitive, so he could easily prove up to the task, but it's THEONLYWAYISWESSEX who is the selection. He travelled well for a long way here last time on his return from nine months off and is taken to go one place better granted normal progress. Zestful Hope is considered also having taken a step back in the right direction last time.
