SEE FOREVER made a winning start to life with Fergal O'Brien at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and the daughter of Stowaway may have more in the locker after a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Kenny George likely found the quick turnaround against him when disappointing at Hereford last time so he is expected to bounce back on this occasion, while the booking of Aidan Coleman makes Strictly Art of interest on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st See Forever 2nd Kenny George 3rd Strictly Art

EMMAS JOY found the step up in grade too much to handle when down the field on her latest start at Sandown, but she remains with potential and could prove too strong for her rivals despite conceding weight all round. Cill Anna ran with promise on her hurdling debut at Wincanton and could take a step forward with a tongue-tie applied, while Rose Of Aghaboe and Misaps are both capable of taking a hand in the finish.
Prediction : 1st Emmas Joy 2nd Cill Anna 3rd Rose Of Aghaboe

BATTLEOFTHESOMME can be forgiven his latest effort at Southwell having reportedly lost a shoe when attempting to land a hat-trick of victories. Despite being 13lb higher than his most recent chase success in October, the six-year-old is capable of bouncing back to form and taking this contest. Seeanythingyoulike may benefit from a change to more positive tactics as he drops back in trip, while Agentleman's second at Leicester entitles him a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Battleofthesomme 2nd Seeanythingyoulike 3rd Agentleman

BOB FORD never lets himself down over these staying trips despite his advancing years, and is fancied to claim a second win from his last three starts under Harry Teal. The 12-year-old was third here in March off 5lb lower and has been located a suitable opening against fellow veterans. Troubled Soul is also a consistent type and shouldn't be far away once more, while Water Wagtail just bumped into one at Huntingdon last month and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bob Ford 2nd Troubled Soul 3rd Water Wagtail

PEMBERLEY won with plenty up his sleeve at Hereford last month and providing he can handle this marked step up in distance, the son of Darsi remains well handicapped off 113 and is unexposed in such company. Urtheonethatiwant remains potentially well treated after his impressive Ludlow victory and should get this trip, while Glenforde has been given time to get over his Southwell mishap and is also considered for a yard which sent out a pair of winners at Doncaster on Sunday.
Prediction : 1st Pemberley 2nd Urtheonethatiwant 3rd Glenforde

Global Ruler has been running to a consistent level of form in his current headgear combination and should be thereabouts if building on his second over 2m3f at Market Rasen earlier in the month. For win purposes, however, preference is for MANOFTHEMOMENT, who is rated only 3lb higher than when scoring over this trip at Southwell in the spring. Recent Taunton silver medallist Redmond look best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Manofthemoment 2nd Global Ruler 3rd Redmond

WILDE ABOUT OSCAR shaped with an abundance of promise first time out at Southwell, finishing an encouraging second. The experience gained that day is unlikely to have been lost on the Dan Skelton inmate, who is taken to go one better this afternoon. Big runs from Cronk Y Knox, Allenby and Scarpia on their racecourse debuts would come as no surprise and all merit market checks.
Prediction : 1st Wilde About Oscar 2nd Scarpia 3rd Allenby
