MOLLY OLLYS WISHES makes plenty of appeal in the opener as she produced a couple of decent efforts in defeat at Uttoxeter last month and should still be improving. This better ground may bring out some improvement in Dan Skelton's mare and if she runs up to a rating of 116 then her rivals could be in a bit of trouble. Miss Heritage brings good bumper form to the table and ran well enough on her latest hurdles outing at Worcester in the summer, while Stacey Sue is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Molly Ollys Wishes 2nd Miss Heritage 3rd Stacey Sue

Todd and PERFECT MOMENT won at this venue on the same card last month and, without taking anything away from their rivals in this handicap, it looks a match. The latter is preferred on the basis that she lines up in receipt of 12lb from Olly Murphy's charge and could hardly have won any easier four weeks ago. Todd does save his best performances for this track, so must be respected, while Bentons Lad rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Moment 2nd Todd 3rd Bentons Lad

KILBREW BOY is an unexposed quantity over fences and won at the second time of asking in this sphere at Wincanton recently. A 5lb rise in the ratings for that success might not be enough to prevent another victory for this likeable six-year-old, and he can get the better of Thomas Todd. The latter won well over C&D after a break in October and could have more to offer, while Encore Champs is also interesting.
Prediction : 1st Kilbrew Boy 2nd Thomas Todd 3rd Encore Champs

JUSTICE KNIGHT built on his Hereford reappearance to run out a comfortable winner at Musselburgh last time and will appreciate the decent ground (for this time of year) once again as he looks to defy the 9lb rise handed for that victory. Olympic Honour has shaped nicely over hurdles so far and is an interesting recruit to handicapping, while Hen and Highway To Success were both winners on their penultimate outings and make some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Justice Knight 2nd Olympic Honour 3rd Hen

This trip could be ideal for SPEEDY CARGO, who shaped well for a long way at Hereford when tried in cheekpieces (worn again here) and is worthy of plenty of consideration now starting life over fences. Gold Fields has been tried at this venue over hurdles the last twice and now steps up in distance for his chasing bow, while Zen Master and Agent Westy have experience over the larger obstacles on their side.
Prediction : 1st Speedy Cargo 2nd Gold Fields 3rd Agent Westy

Two-time bumper winner STRONG GLANCE makes his stable debut for Olly Murphy at a track the handler often does well at and the six-year-old could be hard to beat if reproducing the best of his form. Xcitations' challenge was just about to peter out when falling at Marker Rasen last time but Pam Sly's youngster could make the podium here with a clear round, while Ah Well had little luck when brought down at Doncaster last week and is respected on the pick of his form from last season.
Prediction : 1st Strong Glance 2nd Xcitations 3rd Ah Well
