The consistent Free Chakarte is likely to prove popular amongst punters, but preference is for FAST FORWARD, who can take a step forward from his recent hurdling debut where he lost a shoe. Similarly, Rolypolymoly produced a solid display at Stratford on his first start in this sphere and is likely to be involved with natural progression, while Pepsiwithacap is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Fast Forward 2nd Free Chakarte 3rd Rolypolymoly

This can go the way of GULLIVER COLLONGES, who remains well handicapped on his earlier form despite a 4lb rise in the weights following success at Warwick in May. Recent Southwell scorer High Counsel appears likely to mount another bold bid, while Minella Voucher shouldn't be underestimated after a string of consistent efforts. At the foot of the weights, Tom O'roughley is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Gulliver Collonges 2nd High Counsel 3rd Minella Voucher

ONWARD ROUTE weakened late on over 2m4f at this venue last month but, having won over C&D on his penultimate start, a return to winning ways may be imminent. Makthecat won a seller at Southwell last month and looks set to go well once again, along with Haveyougotmymoney, who can be involved if able to hurdle more fluently this afternoon.
Prediction : 1st Onward Route 2nd Makthecat 3rd Haveyougotmymoney

Go On Chez produced form figures of PP00P over hurdles but has been a revelation over fences, recording his fifth win in five starts over the larger obstacles at Aintree last time. Another 8lb hike might not be enough, though the presence of PEACHES AND CREAM here could be his undoing. Gavin Cromwell's gelding showed stamina is very much his strong suit when scoring over 3m7f at the Punchestown Festival and even a 15lb higher mark might not be enough to stop him grinding his rivals into submission. Ruthless Article and El Paso Wood are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Peaches And Cream 2nd Go On Chez 3rd Ruthless Article

Mulberry Hill was only beaten half a length over 2m4f here last time and is interesting off just 1lb higher, while Calum Gilhooley was a good winner at Bangor when last seen but might just need this outing after 11 months off the track. Geordie Des Champs ran well in a handicap on Summer Cup day here last month and gets another chance off the same mark, but preference is for WBEE. Gary Hanmer's gelding suffered a small injury on his one poor outing at Haydock, which was also on good to soft, but showed no ill-effects when back to winning ways at Cartmel last time and could bounce off the sound surface on offer.
Prediction : 1st Wbee 2nd Geordie Des Champs 3rd Mulberry Hill

Imperial Sachin's bolted up in a handicap hurdle here last time but a 9lb higher mark on his return to chasing does temper enthusiasm somewhat, while Shetland Bus was beaten a long way into second at Market Rasen last time and is 1lb higher than when beaten in a handicap over this C&D in April. Tigerten didn't really finish off his race at Stratford last time, so this could be a good opportunity for HEREDITARY RULE to defy top-weight. Beaten off a mark of 105 over timber last time, John McConnell's gelding is a different proposition over fences and was a close second off 135 at Perth last month. Up 3lb for that run, he might still be too strong.
Prediction : 1st Hereditary Rule 2nd Imperial Sachins 3rd Shetland Bus

ANDAPA showed a distinct liking for this C&D when landing back-to-back races last summer and she posted an encouraging third-placed effort on her return from a nine-month break recently, having travelled smoothly for a long way. That blow-out should have tuned her up nicely and her current mark doesn't look unsurmountable. Jessica Rabbit arrives here in career-best form and should remain competitive over a shorter trip, as should My Poem, who is only 1lb higher than when winning here on her penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Andapa 2nd Jessica Rabbit 3rd My Poem

Good Bye, Miss Bamby and Getaway Cory all bring second-placed form to the table and remain of some interest of their respective marks, but any value here may lie with the lightly-raced TOMMYDAN. Jennie Candlish's gelding never looked comfortable on softer ground in better company at Cartmel last time, but had earlier impressed in defeat when second there on a sounder surface when arguably unlucky (denied a clear run at a crucial stage).
Prediction : 1st Tommydan 2nd Good Bye 3rd Getaway Cory
