Narrowly denied last time out, MY LITTLE TONI can gain compensation with the step back up in trip likely to suit. The form of her stable is another plus and she may have far too much for Flighty Bride, who remains a maiden after 12 starts but has the form to go close if at her best. C&D winner Blue Collar Glory should not to be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st My Little Toni 2nd Flighty Bride 3rd Blue Collar Glory

MASTER MALACHY won well on his chasing debut at Bangor last month and a 6lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. Cool Country has won here twice in 2022 but may have his work cut out to match the selection. Irish-raider Presenting Dylan must be of interest as well, despite a lengthy losing streak.
Prediction : 1st Master Malachy 2nd Presenting Dylan 3rd Cool Country

THE NAVIGATOR was not at his best when last seen over hurdles, but he won over C&D in April and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form this afternoon. Caramelised remains unexposed in this sphere and he should not be underestimated, while Golden Town, who wasn't beaten far over C&D last time out, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st The Navigator 2nd Caramelised 3rd Golden Town

ONE TOUCH bolted up over hurdles at Bangor nine days ago to make it two on the spin and, although he's yet to get off the mark over fences, he's clearly thriving at present and gets the vote for the in-form Ben Pauling yard. Raecius Felix appears the biggest danger having been narrowly denied at Cartmel at the weekend and could go close assuming he's got over those exertions. Onenightintown broke his duck in impressive style at Market Rasen last time and a 4lb rise may not stop him being competitive.
Prediction : 1st One Touch 2nd Raecius Felix 3rd Onenightintown

Although LEOPOLDS ROCK has been beaten favourite on his last two starts, the application of first-time cheekpieces looks a positive move as he appears to have conditions to suit and a big run is forecast from the Philip Kirby-trained gelding. Windy Cove could make her presence felt if allowed an easy lead, while Mise Raftaire was disappointing on his first start for Warren Greatrex and this drop in trip may see him in a better light.
Prediction : 1st Leopolds Rock 2nd Windy Cove 3rd Mise Raftaire

Taxmeifyoucan returns to chasing after a spell on the Flat of late and he should take plenty of beating if back to his best, but the slight preference is for WHO'S THE GUV'NOR. Micky Hammond's runner was denied a hat-trick last time but this drop in trip should be a positive. Blue Sans shouldn't be underestimated given that she is likely to improve for her recent comeback run.
Prediction : 1st Whos The Guvnor 2nd Taxmeifyoucan 3rd Blue Sans

BATTLE OF BENBURB finished very strongly when scoring over 3m at Wexford on his latest outing, and it appears likely that this extra yardage won't be an issue for the five-year-old. Bird On The Wire has been knocking on the door of late but, having been raised 3lb for his latest second at Bangor, he may be susceptible to better treated rivals, while Balkotic completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Battle Of Benburb 2nd Bird On The Wire 3rd Balkotic
