My Lady Grey should improve for her first start in over a year when fifth at Fontwell and, with three wins over further over fences, two off higher marks, she has to be on the shortlist. Ya Know Yaseff has bits of form that suggest she can go close, but a chance is taken on LINDISFARNE. Not seen for over a year after a close-up third at Uttoxeter, he has the benefit of Angus Cheleda in the saddle off bottom weight and could surprise them all.

AGGAGIO has served connections well with six wins on the Flat and four over hurdles, and he bids to add success over fences to his CV here making his debut over the larger obstacles. Last seen being beaten half a length on the Flat in a decent Goodwood handicap, his latest run over hurdles was a winning one at Haydock and it will be interesting to see if he takes to fences. The consistent Forget The Way and Taunton second Non Stop are the dangers.

The Paul Nicholls-trained Tinklers Hill is expected to improve for his third at Taunton, though he has 19 lengths to find with winner CANTY BAY on that run, and the 7lb the latter gets here may not be enough for the form to be reversed. Emma Lavelle's gelding won with plenty in hand that day and is also entitled to improve, and he may go on to better things. Lord Of Thunder and Tarras Wood are others to consider.

A small but select field for this novice chase and it may go the way of Nicky Henderson's ARCLIGHT, a winner of both her starts over fences at Kempton and Exeter. She steps up in trip which may bring about further improvement and, if that is the case, she looks the likeliest winner. Marsh Wren has a 1-1 record over fences after scoring at Warwick last month and may be the one for the forecast, though connections of Game On For Glory will also be hopeful of a bold showing.

BY THE GRACE has posted two solid efforts in bumpers and may just have needed her latest effort when returning from a break to finish third on the all-weather at Lingfield. Now sent over hurdles, Nicky Henderson's filly is expected to know her job and gets the vote to make a winning start in this sphere. Pentire Head is expected to improve from his hurdling debut, while similar comments apply to Tiny Tetley following his third at Taunton.

PILSDON PEN found a decent amount of improvement from his chase debut at Warwick when scoring over C&D and a 6lb rise is unlikely to stop him from backing that performance up. A pair of cheekpieces may see Walk In The Wild bounce back to form with the handicapper also giving him a chance, while a drop back in trip is likely to help Harjo.

LOWRY'S BAR didn't need to build on his C&D hurdling debut success when running out an easy winner under a penalty at Chepstow last month. Connections have been fairly positive about the five-year-old and he is expected to have more to offer now beginning life in handicap company. Javert Allen went up 5lb for his second at Ludlow and remains open to a considerable amount of improvement. Skycutter and Legionar are both capable of being in the mix.

CAST'S TASHA shaped well on her return to action when third at Exeter having undergone wind surgery since the end of last season. With that outing under her belt, the six-year-old is capable of stepping forward with the slight drop back in trip unlikely to be an inconvenience. My Lady Phoenix finished second at Chepstow last time and has to be respected, while Miss Fedora, a winner at Fontwell last month, and Mairis Icon can both get involved.
