Dual bumper winner GETARIVER ran with real credit on her first hurdles appearance in a hot Cheltenham contest last month and that experience should set Dan Skelton's six-year-old up nicely for a big run here. Feuille De Chene brings some smart form from France to the table and has joined an in-form Philip Hobbs team. Belatrix Lestrange performed well in two bumpers this summer and is an interesting convert to timber, with Nick Williams' Felicidad another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Getariver 2nd Feuille De Chene 3rd Belatrix Lestrange

Jeremy Scott has a useful squad at his disposal this season and his SEEANYTHINGYOULIKE has the chance to build on his useful performances since reappearing from two years off the track this autumn. He appreciated the drop back in trip when third at Wincanton last time and jockey Rex Dingle takes off a handy 5lb again. Cock A Doodle Doo switches to fences on his first outing for Venetia Williams and is worthy of a market check, while Darling Alko is another fencing newcomer to consider representing a team in form.
Prediction : 1st Seeanythingyoulike 2nd Cock A Doodle Doo 3rd Darling Alko

Enrilo stayed on nicely to open his hurdles account at Wincanton last month, picking up from where he left off in the bumper ranks. However, a chance is taken on HOUSE ISLAND, who won a Listed bumper at Newbury last season and bumped into the progressive Mason Jar (who won again next time) when second on his hurdling debut. He has only three lengths to find with Enrilo from when they met in a bumper at Kempton in February and it would be no surprise to see Paul Webber's charge reverse those placings. Point-to-point winner Does He Know looks a useful operator, with Fergal O'Brien's Exeter winner Thegallantway a must for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st House Island 2nd Enrilo 3rd Thegallantway

14:55 Ludlow

MARBLE MOON made it back-to-back victories when successful here last month and this extra distance shouldn't be too much of a hinderance as Evan Williams' in-form seven-year-old looks to complete the hat-trick off a 4lb higher rating. Course winner Uhlan Bute could provide the biggest challenge having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than his latest victory, while Shanroe In Milan switches back to fences following a decent effort over timber at Worcester.
Prediction : 1st Marble Moon 2nd Uhlan Bute 3rd Shanroe In Milan

GAVROCHEKA was a winner on her latest outing in France and she makes plenty of appeal on her UK debut having joined a Philip Hobbs team that have hit the ground running this season. Group Stage boasts some solid Flat form and is an interesting contender representing a handler used to success in this sphere, while Rowland Ward changed hands for 75,000gns recently and was a winner on the level when with Ralph Beckett.
Prediction : 1st Gavrocheka 2nd Group Stage 3rd Rowland Ward

16:00 Ludlow

LONGHOUSESIGNORA shaped nicely when third at Worcester on her reappearance and the C&D winner could be the answer reverting to hurdles following that pipe-opener, with the slight reduction in trip a positive. Stamp Your Feet has dropped to a dangerously low mark and this could be the time to catch him following wind surgery, while Grageelagh Girl, Miss Tynte and Wilde Spirit also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Longhousesignora 2nd Stamp Your Feet 3rd Grageelagh Girl
