Never Learn showed that he has a future over the larger obstacles last year, completing a Fontwell brace, but he has been off a long time and even though he is comparatively well treated in this sphere, he lacks the recent match practice of LIGHTLY SQUEEZE. Harry Fry's gelding has twice let down favourite-backers since reverting to timber, but there has been promise in both performances and he can break through. Motashakel is interesting now he goes handicapping with a couple of spins in juvenile events under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Lightly Squeeze 2nd Never Learn 3rd Motashakel

Kissesforkatie was a good NH Flat mare and although she took a little while to get her head in front over hurdles, she did so with something up her sleeve at this circuit. She takes quite a significant drop in trip, though, and will do well to successfully concede 6lb to URBAN ARTIST, who is two from two in bumpers this campaign and was impressive in a Listed affair at Cheltenham. Daphne Du Clos continues on the comeback trail and should make a bold fist of things, and Whitehotchillifili will be right in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Urban Artist 2nd Kissesforkatie 3rd Daphne Du Clos

Jatiluwih has been a shrewd acquisition by David Maxwell, who has steered him to an unbeaten five-race sequence since arriving from France. His revised mark of 146 means he should be bordering on Grade 2/3 class but he is still passed over in favour of DUC DE BEAUCHENE, who showed the benefit of wind surgery by justifying favouritism at Cheltenham's Open meeting. His 10lb hike may leave him slightly better treated than the top-weight. Tedham is another force to be reckoned with after his solid third in a competitive Haydock event.
Prediction : 1st Duc De Beauchene 2nd Jatiluwih 3rd Tedham

Pres found only one too strong when attempting to back up his successful chasing debut at Lingfield, and there is definitely more to come from him. Le Boizelo claimed a good amateurs' race at Sandown, while Findusatgorcombe's winning run may have come to an end at this track but it is too soon to write him off. Johanos is interesting but a chance can be taken on WORTHY FARM because he may improve for the application of blinkers and is now just 2lb higher than when landing a competitive handicap hurdle at Ascot back in February.
Prediction : 1st Worthy Farm 2nd Johanos 3rd Le Boizelo

IF YOU SAY RUN sets a decent standard based on her second to Reserve Tank in the Rising Stars over C&D last month and she can put her chasing experience to good use against what is likely to be her main market rival Annie Mc. Jonjo O'Neill's mare is entitled to come on for her first run of the season over hurdles at Kempton and has the physique to make into a chaser, while Kentford Mallard can get the better of Everlanes in the battle for third.
Prediction : 1st If You Say Run 2nd Annie Mc 3rd Kentford Mallard

WEST TO THE BRIDGE was sent off favourite when last seen over fences two starts ago at Newbury but an early mistake ended his race. He has since had a confidence booster over hurdles at Doncaster and the return to chasing could unlock further improvement from Dan Skelton's gelding. Le Coeur Net has been in consistent form in three outings this campaign and is likely to be in the mix once again, while cheekpieces could aid the cause of Native Robin.
Prediction : 1st West To The Bridge 2nd Le Coeur Net 3rd Native Robin

SUPAMOUSE came clear with a more experienced rival on his debut at Southwell and that form was franked when the same horse acquitted himself well in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham. On that performance, Hughie Morrison's gelding is definitely capable of winning a bumper and could prove too strong for C&D winner Confirmation Bias, Barbados Buck's, who showed plenty of promise in a Cheltenham bumper in October, and Hurricane Mitch.
Prediction : 1st Supamouse 2nd Confirmation Bias 3rd Barbados Bucks
