I'M WISER NOW has always been held in high regard by connections and having shaped like a horse for the future in three bumper outings last season, a step up in trip on his hurdles bow should be right up the Presenting five-year-old's street. Skiddaw Valleys performed consistently over timber last season and has to be respected with experience in his favour, while Lake Baikal looks an interesting newcomer in the green and gold silks of JP McManus and is a half-brother to Tell No One, a Grade 3 chase winner in France.
Prediction : 1st Im Wiser Now 2nd Skiddaw Valleys 3rd Lake Baikal

IM TOO GENEROUS has enjoyed his trips to Scotland of late and Rebecca Menzies' nine-year-old made it two in a row when successful at Ayr last week. He makes his first chase start off the same mark as that recent victory and must have a fantastic chance of landing the hat-trick if taking to the challenge of the larger obstacles. It is interesting that Sam Coltherd has chosen to partner Little Stevie, who was another to taste success earlier this month when winning at Worcester, and has crucial chase experience, while the jockey has partnered Felix Mendelssohn in all his outings since joining Stuart Coltherd, including when an encouraging second at Sedgefield last month.
Prediction : 1st Im Too Generous 2nd Little Stevie 3rd Felix Mendelssohn

The form of Iconic Belle's Musselburgh second was franked when the winner followed up at Ayr last week and Philip Kirby's five-year-old is respected off the same rating. However, preference is for Carlisle winner LADY SAMBACK, who turned a string of solid performances into a commanding victory last time and could have more to come off a 7lb higher mark. West Coast Lass has been a regular visitor here of late and is another to consider off a sliding rating.
Prediction : 1st Lady Samback 2nd Iconic Belle 3rd West Coast Lass

THE BOOLA BEE took advantage of a lowly rating to thrash the opposition by 12 lengths at Warwick on Saturday and, escaping a penalty with that victory coming in a contest for conditional jockeys, she has every chance of landing a quick follow up. Petite Ganache wasn't beaten far at Carlisle on his first chasing outing and could build on that, while Dun Faw Good often runs well at this time of year and needs consideration on his first outing since September. .
Prediction : 1st The Boola Bee 2nd Petite Ganache 3rd Dun Faw Good

SHANROE AL C arrives here on the back of two victories last month and the most recent of those wins came over this C&D. An 8lb rise in the ratings for that success is on the harsh side but it still it may not be enough to stop him from racking up the hat-trick this evening. Amberose's last couple of efforts suggest that she should be in the mix, while Isle Of Destiny completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Shanroe Al C 2nd Amberose 3rd Isle Of Destiny

MR MERCURIAL won a similar event over C&D three weeks ago and the 11-year-old is very hard to oppose once again this evening. Black River is a very consistent performer between the flags and he has to be respected on his first start under Rules since 2015. Greyed A edges out Killer Crow to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Mercurial 2nd Black River 3rd Greyed A

21:05 Perth

ANGEL'S ENVY failed to fire on her seasonal return over 2m4f but her previous placed efforts over C&D last year suggest that she can win a race of this nature. Monsieur Bagot is another who could go well if bouncing back from a disappointing run last time out, while Skyhill and Emirat De Catana are others who merit consideration in a moderate event.
Prediction : 1st Angels Envy 2nd Monsieur Bagot 3rd Emirat De Catana
