MAROWN created a big impression when making a winning debut in a bumper at Newcastle last March and there is every chance that the son of Milan will maintain his unbeaten record this afternoon. Blazer's Mill is another who looks to have a bright future and he is clearly the main threat to the selection, while County Fair and Sirwilliamwallace also merit shortlist inclusion.
Prediction : 1st Marown 2nd Blazers Mill 3rd County Fair

Haul Us In ran well for the silver medal on her return from 600 days off the track at Hexham last month and she is very much one to consider. Preferred, though, is TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG, who has been knocking on the door of late and was only beaten a length off 4lb lower at Haydock when upped in distance last time. He should have a lot more to offer, while chances are also given to Trongate and Big Bad Dream.
Prediction : 1st Teescomponentstrig 2nd Haul Us In 3rd Trongate

SUNNY EXPRESS failed to fire at Haydock last time out but he had previously hit the crossbar at Carlisle and the son of Jeremy can be given another chance this afternoon. Sao Maxence displayed plenty of ability in two bumper starts here a couple of seasons ago and he has to be respected on his return from a 701-day break. The shortlist is completed by Doyen Breed, Endlessly and Fair Minx.
Prediction : 1st Sunny Express 2nd Sao Maxence 3rd Doyen Breed

AIN'T MY FAULT was well beaten by Nuts Well at Wetherby last month, but that was another creditable run in defeat and, dropped 1lb in the weights, Lucinda Russell's charge is going to win a race of this nature sooner rather than later. He handled this ground when a close-up second at Kelso two starts back and gets the verdict ahead of Casual Cavalier, who is 2-4 over track and trip, and Las Tunas, who is back on his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Aint My Fault 2nd Casual Cavalier 3rd Las Tunas

A race that essentially revolves around PORTRUSH TED and how well forward he is on his return from a 519-day layoff. Warren Greatrex's charge boasts some smart bumper form, which ties in with the likes of Kateson, Harambe, Al Dancer and Brewin'upastorm, and remains unexposed over obstacles. If the selections fails to fire then recent Carlisle scorer Taxmeifyoucan could be waiting to pounce. Eternally Yours is no forlorn hope for a place.
Prediction : 1st Portrush Ted 2nd Taxmeifyoucan 3rd Eternally Yours

SKYHILL was a convincing winner over fences at Sedgefield in November and followed up over timber at Kelso when tackling a shorter trip last month. Alison Hamilton's thriving seven-year-old is still feasibly weighted and could notch a hat-trick. There may be better to come from Walkin In The Rain now he steps up from 2m4f, while recent Hexham second Pc Dixon commands respect and any money for the returning Veauce De Sivola would be notable.
Prediction : 1st Skyhill 2nd Walkin In The Rain 3rd Pc Dixon

Champagnesuperover and Western Starlet are related to NH winners and command respect on debut for stables who can ready newcomers. With the benefit of a solid run already to his name, however, WETLANDS is taken to build on his Newcastle fourth on debut in November and find the improvement needed to score. Lucinda Russell's Offtheshoulder, who is a winner between the flags, could also make his presence felt on his first outing under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Wetlands 2nd Offtheshoulder 3rd Champagnesuperover
