KINGS TEMPTATION has been presented with a winnable opening and, boasting a 25 per cent strike-rate over fences (3-12), the consistent seven-year-old can record another course-and-distance triumph. Our Reward gained a confidence-boosting success when reverting to hurdles at Southwell latest and should go well back over the larger obstacles, while chances are also given to Doing Fine and Exxaro.
Prediction : 1st Kings Temptation 2nd Our Reward 3rd Doing Fine

Prefontaine's form on the level stacks up, finishing third behind St Leger runner-up Sir Ron Priestley at Haydock in July, but he looked hesitant at his hurdles at Huntingdon on Wednesday (swerved left and unseated rider at the second) and is probably best watched for now. BOTOX HAS gets the nod, as he finished second in a Listed juvenile hurdle in France earlier this year and now makes his debut for Gary Moore. Ragnar should also be considered.
Prediction : 1st Botox Has 2nd Prefontaine 3rd Ragnar

All three make their seasonal reappearance but TOMMY RAPPER is the only gelding boasting experience in this sphere. Dan Skelton's inmate finished behind a couple of smart types over fences at Ffos Las and Bangor last year before reverting to hurdles and finishing a very creditable second to stable companion Aux Ptits Soins in a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree's Grand National meeting. The son of Milan can get the better of Darlac and Neachells Bridge.
Prediction : 1st Tommy Rapper 2nd Darlac 3rd Neachells Bridge

CAPONE posted a number of solid efforts last season, including when getting within six lengths of the high-class Quel Destin, and must go close running off the same mark as when successful on his handicap debut at Huntingdon. Havana Hermano also shaped with promise last term and warrants respect on his return to the fray, but most feared is the race-fit Empreinte Reconce, who arrives looking to supplement a couple of Newton Abbot victories.
Prediction : 1st Capone 2nd Empreinte Reconce 3rd Havana Hermano

SOUPY SOUPS was an impressive eight-length winner at Perth last Wednesday and, 5lb well in under a 7lb penalty, he is fancied to complete the double. Dual Grade 1 winner Tea For Two is a fascinating player, having placed off 3lb higher at Newton Abbot in the spring and he has since undergone wind surgery. First time out could well be the best time to catch him, while dual course winner (over hurdles) Mellow Ben merits consideration following his comfortable Worcester success.
Prediction : 1st Soupy Soups 2nd Tea For Two 3rd Mellow Ben

Course scorer Ramore Will won cosily on his latest outing at Plumpton in May and should be competitive on his return to action, but race-fitness could just give TEA TIME FRED the edge. Sue Gardner's charge has impressively notched a Worcester double and a further 8lb hike in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Graceful Legend also has a squeak running off just 3lb higher than when winning a Newbury chase on her penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st Tea Time Fred 2nd Ramore Will 3rd Graceful Legend
