ARRIVEDERCI shaped with plenty of promise in bumpers last season, winning on debut at Hereford before finishing fourth behind the exciting Get In The Queue at Exeter, and he could make a successful start to life over timber. Chance A Tune only found one too good on his debut in a Wincanton bumper 301 days ago and merits consideration tackling hurdles for the first time, while winning pointer Tea Clipper adds further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Arrivederci 2nd Chance A Tune 3rd Tea Clipper

Aimee De Sivola has plenty of hurdling experience under her belt and sets a decent standard with a rating of 118, but preference is for the less exposed FLINCK, who left his hurdling debut performance well behind when third behind subsequent winner Birds Of Prey at Taunton. Seven months off will have done him no harm whatsoever and he gets the nod representing powerful connections. Thomas Macdonagh, Torn And Frayed and Jemima P are all respected switching from the bumper sphere.
Prediction : 1st Flinck 2nd Aimee De Sivola 3rd Thomas Macdonagh

Ballymoy is six from 10 over hurdles, earning him a current rating of 151, and warrants plenty of respect on his first outing over fences, but NUBE NEGRA gets the vote representing last year's winning trainer. A high-class gelding himself, finishing third in the 2018 Fred Winter and ending last season with a creditable sixth-placed finish in the Scottish Champion Hurdle, he looks sure to go close if taking to the larger obstacles. You could easily make a case for Equus Amadeus, Thistle Do Nicely and Commanche Red as well in a cracking beginners' chase.
Prediction : 1st Nube Negra 2nd Ballymoy 3rd Equus Amadeus

PRABENI was deemed good enough to run in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham earlier in the year and could progress this season after shaping like he would improve for the run when fourth on his Uttoxeter reappearance three weeks ago. The four-year-old is unexposed over this trip and could take advantage his fair mark of 124. Stony Stream failed in his hat-trick bid at Cartmel last time but may appreciate this more conventional track, while Hexham scorer Eva's Oskar is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Prabeni 2nd Stony Stream 3rd Evas Oskar

CHASMA was only beaten by a solid yardstick when last seen at Bangor in August and could go one better for Dan Skelton. The nine-year-old might not be the best handicapped in the field, but could put her race-fitness to good use. For Good Measure doesn't win as often as he should and was outbattled here nine days ago, while Molly Childers and Dentley De Mee are others to take seriously despite their respective absences.
Prediction : 1st Chasma 2nd For Good Measure 3rd Dentley De Mee

16:45 Warwick

Furia D'Oudairies put in a career-best performance when second at Huntingdon 198 days ago, while similar sentiments apply to Timassini, who also put in the strongest performance of her career when finding just one too good at Uttoxeter in a handicap last month. Preference, though, is for recent Sedgefield winner BANNIXTOWN GLORY. This is a greater test, but she is improving with experience and can take this before moving back up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Bannixtown Glory 2nd Furia DOudairies 3rd Timassini

TRUCKERS PASS finished second in an Irish point-to-point in December last year and could go one better on his debut under Rules for Philip Hobbs. The five-year-old did enough to convince connections to shell out 175,000 pounds at the sales and represents a trainer with a good bumper record here. Thais Toir is related to some nice French types and his handler knows the time of day with runners in this sphere, while Arcadian Spring could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Truckers Pass 2nd Thais Toir 3rd Arcadian Spring
