Discovery Bay warrants plenty of respect following his Wetherby maiden success, while Cayman Islands holds obvious claims dropped in class. The vote, however, goes to hurdling newcomer YES DADDY. The 5-year-old son of Golan has displayed a high level of ability in three bumper appearances (winning first time out at Market Rasen) and, representing the shrewd Kevin Ryan stable, nothing will have been left to chance in terms of schooling.

DEEPSAND stepped up on a couple of solid placed efforts when scoring cosily over 2m at Ayr most recently and, with the application of first-time blinkers today forecast to bring about further improvement, he is fancied to follow up. Halogen warrants plenty of respect on his return to action despite being burdened with a double penalty, but the weight difference could help past C&D scorer Asteroid Belt get the better of that rival on this occasion.

Handicap debutant PAMPELONNE shades the verdict in what looks a competitive event. She shaped encouragingly, finishing third, in both of her outings in beginners' races before christmas and a spin in a ''jumpers' bumper'' at Southwell 15 days ago will have blown any cobwebs away. Kykate has been knocking on the door and should be in the mix once again, while Overnight Fame is no forlorn hope in the first-time cheekpieces.

A few look to have chances here, so ARCTIC WINGS receives what is only a tentative vote. He showed a great attitude when striking over 2m5f at Newbury latest and a 6lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to stop him if arriving in the same mood today. Philip Kirby has his string in cracking form at present and both of his representatives here, Lord Luso and Mrs Eff, hold solid claims, while Green Wizard, Iron Chancellor and Bee Cee Pee M add further spice to the race.

A couple of hat-trick seekers in opposition here, namely FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT and Blazing Bull. The latter seems to have struck up a good relationship with John Dawson lately and has only gone up 3lb for winning narrowly here last month, but David Pipe's charge makes more appeal. The seven-year-old has responded positively to the reapplication of blinkers lately, winning at Southwell and Leicester during February, and he's worth following again, fresh after a short break, off just a 2lb higher perch. Fog Patches is also considered a player.

This represents a slight drop in class for ULYS DU CHARMIL, who has produced two creditable efforts in defeat since winning his maiden at Market Rasen last May. He has another short break to overcome having not raced since January but the handicapper has been kind in easing him 1lb and there should be more to come from him this summer. Rocky Rebel has been kept fit with a bumper spin on the all-weather at Southwell, while Jawaab represents an in-form team and returns to timber after a fruitful Flat spell in the autumn.

DOUBLE MEADE only made two National Hunt appearances last year but she was placed on both occasions and returns to regulation fences today on the back of a couple of recent point-to-point wins. She is preferred to Miss Chatterbox, who has yet to appear in this sphere but has also been enjoying success between the flags of late. The Wifes Pet looks the pick of the remainder.

The four-year-olds get a handy weight allowance and LONG LUNCH looks the pick of them. Charlie Longsdon's charge made an encouraging start when beaten just a length into second at Huntingdon last month and the winner has since performed well in Grade 2 company at Aintree. Ballyhoulihan could be capable of much better than he showed first time out at Ayr, especially if the ground remains dry, but expensive purchase Oscar Fortune could pose the selection most problems having stayed on for fourth on his racecourse debut in a warm contest at Sandown in February.
