GOLDSLINGER wasn't beaten too far off this rating when third at Plumpton last time and can make a winning debut for new handler Andrew Hamilton now stepping up in trip. The form of Honourmission's Newcastle fourth was franked at the weekend and Sam England's five-year-old is respected. That's My Dubai could build on her encouraging recent Uttoxeter third off the same mark for local handler Rebecca Menzies.
Prediction : 1st Goldslinger 2nd Thats My Dubai 3rd Honourmission

It is hard to oppose INDUNO, who made a winning start to his hurdling career here and should be suited by the extra distance. His form is stacking up nicely and the Flemensfirth gelding can make the long trip north worthwhile again. Evander has finished second on both appearances under Rules so far and is respected trying further. O'Hanrahan Bridge was runner-up over course and distance on his debut for Donald McCain and bettering that effort is a possibility.
Prediction : 1st Induno 2nd Evander 3rd OHanrahan Bridge

This is very much a home fixture for Sedgefield specialist ROXYFET, who won this in 2015 and 2017 and was sent off favourite 12 months ago. Micky Hammond's nine-year-old is just 2lb higher than his most recent victory and wasn't far away in second over track and trip a month ago. Any market support for Stormbay Bomber should be noted off a falling rating, while Joanne Foster's C&D winners Frankie Ballou and Two Hoots have to be given plenty of respect.
Prediction : 1st Roxyfet 2nd Stormbay Bomber 3rd Two Hoots

It could pay to side with Donald McCain's French import FINGAL D'ARTHEL, who showed plenty of potential on his first couple of outings before making it third-time lucky. If taking to the jumping game, he will likely prove tough to beat. Irish Odyssey was a pleasing third on his hurdling bow at Carlisle and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Jabbaar and Stonific.
Prediction : 1st Fingal DArthel 2nd Irish Odyssey 3rd Jabbaar

RINGARINGAROSIE loves it round here, finishing half-a-length second and winning twice on her last three visits, and she should take some stopping under talented conditional Danny McMenamin. Although denied his own hat-trick last week, Mah Mate Bob remains in cracking form and must enter calculations, with Mortens Leam and Indian Brave others to note.
Prediction : 1st Ringaringarosie 2nd Mah Mate Bob 3rd Mortens Leam

KINGRULLAH followed up his 2m1f victory here with a handicap debut success over C&D. Pauline Robson's charge has been handed an 8lb rise but is expected to round out the hat-trick given his unexposed profile. Lord Roccoco picked up the silver medal in a novice hurdle here in October but needs to step up on his subsequent Kelso effort to make his mark. Enfin Phil, on his second run following wind surgery, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Kingrullah 2nd Lord Roccoco 3rd Enfin Phil

MEEP MEEP MAG boasts winning form between the flags and has shaped encouragingly on both outings under Rules, picking up the bronze medal at Warwick before going one place better at Wetherby. A reproduction of either of those efforts from David Pipe's mare would probably suffice here. Innisfree Spirit, fourth behind the selection in West Yorkshire on debut, looks the main danger ahead of point-to-point scorer Leeswood Lily.
Prediction : 1st Meep Meep Mag 2nd Innisfree Spirit 3rd Leeswood Lily
