A modest contest where you can make very few cases. If ADAM DU BRETEAU's jumping holds up, he looks the most likely winner based on his Kempton run when staying on after making two shocking mistakes on the way round. The son of Network has since disappointed at Uttoxeter over hurdles but this looks a very winnable contest. Replacement Plan makes some appeal making his chase debut, while Bennys Girl is entitled to improve for better ground having ran below par when pulled up on heavy at Cork back in March.

WIFFY CHATSBY has been knocking on the door on his two previous starts and, despite carrying a 6lb higher mark for those efforts, can finally get off the mark for the first time in three years. Queen's Bay could be interesting returning to handicap company after a fair effort in a hunter chase at Stratford back in May, while Dawnieriver has claims on her recent C&D second.

ACCESSALLAREAS made all to win over a similar trip at Stratford last time and would be a danger to all again if allowed to dominate from the front under a penalty. Gardiners Hill was the subject of support when third over this trip at Uttoxeter last time and is the one expected to put up most resistance. On Alberts Head has work to do with the selection on their last run but struck off this mark over hurdles in May and is weighted to finish on the premises nevertheless.

BOSS DES MOTTES dotted up by nine lengths over fences here nine days ago and looks extremely well handicapped now racing over timber off the same mark. He is due to race off 4lb higher over hurdles in future and is expected to make the most of this opportunity to cash in while ahead of the assessor. Miss Sassypants has place claims if building on her Southwell second latest, though the main danger may be recent C&D maiden hurdle scorer Destiny's Gold, who is officially 2lb well-in.

ALCOCK AND BROWN improved for his hurdling debut when successful over C&D earlier this month and on that evidence the son of Oasis Dream is the one they all have to beat. Nikki Steel looks to be the biggest threat based on form but he is rated 5lb inferior to the selection but has to give him 2lb. The rest have questions to answer, although Scarlet Minstrel was useful on the Flat (once rated 80) and it would not be a surprise to see him go well on his hurdling debut.

This contest looks set to be dominated by KALONDRA, Mere Anarchy and Trafalgar Rock. Preference is for the Neil Mulholland representative because his form is marginally stronger and he looked to be much improved in a first-time tongue-tie last time. Trafalgar Rock bolted up on his debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter and is fully entitled to find more improvement, while Mere Anarchy needs to bounce back from a couple of moderate runs but his form prior to that was respectable.

DESERTER was an impressive eight-length winner on his handicap debut at Southwell and with the sixth subsequently franking that form with an easy win of his his own, Warren Greatrex's gelding will be strongly fancied to follow up off the same mark of 100. Earls Fort has posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat and he warrants respect, while Pattara, Dropzone and Primo Rossi make up the shortlist.

SPORTING MILAN justified strong market support when making a winning handicap debut over this C&D and, with the potential to improve for first-time cheekpieces, he gets the vote to defy a hefty 10lb rise. King's Song is a past course winner who finished runner-up off this mark at Southwell last time. He can show up well again while I'llhavealook has every chance if forgiven a lacklustre performance at Newton Abbot. He has been given 107 days to recover.
