Dan Skelton representative ZAMPARELLI returned a 14-length winner over fences at Market Rasen when last sighted and is expected to remain competitive on these terms now moving back over timber. Finalshot makes some appeal on his Ludlow second over 2m in November and is unexposed over this longer trip. Full Time Party and Whizz Bang are both sporting new headgear as they bid to step up on their latest efforts.
Prediction : 1st Zamparelli 2nd Finalshot 3rd Whizz Bang

GOODTHYNEAWAY has been in rude health this year, winning on three of his last four outings. Dan Skelton's six-year-old is turned out under a penalty for his six-length romp over a similar trip at Plumpton last weekend and rates the one to beat on the back of that effort. Regulation pulled-up at Huntington earlier in the month so the main danger appears to be Kilcara, who has been raised 4lb for her recent 2m victory at Warwick.
Prediction : 1st Goodthyneaway 2nd Kilcara 3rd Regulation

15:35 Stratford

YAMUNA RIVER is very well treated at these weights and, compared to the Grade 3 contest she contested when last seen over hurdles, Chris Gordon's filly should find this easy going. Riviere Argentee collected bronze medals on both of her starts last month and is likely to give another good account, while Kahaleesi could potentially improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Yamuna River 2nd Riviere Argentee 3rd Kahaleesi

Hat-trick seeking Mister Mister would have an obvious chance if lining up but he was declared to run at Uttoxeter on Saturday, so the vote goes to ALEXANDER THE GREY. The eight-year-old held a narrow advantage when a last-fence faller on his latest outing over C&D in September and he is sure to go close if arriving in the same form on his reappearance. Recent Worcester scorer Cillian's Well cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Alexander The Grey 2nd Mister Mister 3rd Cillians Well

16:45 Stratford

FLYING VERSE returned to form on his latest outing when runner-up at Southwell at the end of last month and the son of Yeats could find further improvement for the application of blinkers. Telson Barley won at Warwick earlier in the month and is respected off a 6lb higher mark, while Pahaska may have more to offer on her second outing after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Flying Verse 2nd Telson Barley 3rd Pahaska

17:20 Stratford

RUBY YEATS was still going well when brought down three out at Fontwell 11 days ago in a contest where The Kings Baby finished third. Gary Moore's mare remains on the same handicap mark on this occasion, which could see her gain compensation. The Kings Baby may benefit from being dropped 2lb, while the step up in distance could see Mrs Burbidge take a step forward after a couple of consistent efforts over shorter.
Prediction : 1st Ruby Yeats 2nd The Kings Baby 3rd Mrs Burbidge

17:55 Stratford

STONY STREAM has placed on both his bumper outings so far and his second at Sedgefield in March to a subsequent hurdles winner appears the strongest form on offer. Elton Jack showed some promise when fourth at Bangor last month and could take a step forward on this occasion, while Whocalledmespeedy is entitled to progress after her debut at Fontwell having had wind surgery prior to that effort.
Prediction : 1st Stony Stream 2nd Elton Jack 3rd Whocalledmespeedy
