FINE BY ME found a decent amount of improvement when stepping up in trip at Bangor on handicap debut in July and a 5lb rise is unlikely to stop him from progressing. Robeam has been a model of consistency throughout the summer months and he is capable of being in the mix, with Gentleman Valley and Dreamweaver appearing best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Fine By Me 2nd Robeam 3rd Gentleman Valley

THRONE HALL is an interesting recruit to this sphere, having been rated 102 at his peak on the Flat, and the five-year-old, who has been mostly consistent this season, has been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark at the first attempt. Sir Tivo has been in decent form over fences of late and commands respect after a wind operation, while Bluebella boasts a smart pedigree, coming from the family of Best Mate, and represents a stable who are more than capable of getting one ready.
Prediction : 1st Throne Hall 2nd Sir Tivo 3rd Bluebella

CREMANT has run with plenty of credit on his three outings over fences, all of them coming at Stratford, and the step up to 3m may bring about the required improvement to see him gain a first victory over the larger obstacles. Getthepot (also engaged to run at Worcester on Monday) is another who could have more to offer going up in distance, while Bolsover Bill is entitled to have benefited from his chasing bow at Sedgefield.
Prediction : 1st Cremant 2nd Getthepot 3rd Bolsover Bill

This race doesn't look as competitive as the field size might suggest, with last-time-out winner DENABLE given the vote. Although of moderate ability on the Flat, he's unexposed over hurdles with this only his third run in handicap company. He looked to win a stronger race than Belle Na Bann won last time. The Neil Mulholland inmate is an obvious threat and is also unexposed in this sphere. Henri Le Bon is a consistent sort and should run his race once again.
Prediction : 1st Denable 2nd Belle Na Bann 3rd Henri Le Bon

Veteran Judge Earle has thrived this season, winning five of his previous seven starts. He's dangerous to discount, but a 10lb rise and a step up in class should make life tougher. RED HAPPY won when last seen over fences and his subsequent third over the smaller obstacles showed that he's still in good form. Running off just a 3lb higher mark than his seven-length success at Bangor, he has less questions to answer than most. Kinondo Kwetu looks progressive and is best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Red Happy 2nd Judge Earle 3rd Kinondo Kwetu

Addosh should prove popular after a ready success at Southwell, but she's been given a small break since and needs to overcome a career-high mark, so this filly might be worth taking on. FORTUNES MELODY has been running well over fences of late and, now returned to the smaller obstacles, she makes plenty of appeal. Her rider also claims a handy 7lb, so she should be involved if coping with the drop in distance. Lady Reset looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Fortunes Melody 2nd Addosh 3rd Lady Reset

A few to consider, but, given Presenting Pete finished behind TRANSLINK when the two met last month at Worcester, the latter gets the nod. The son of Rail Link put a blip over fences behind him and resumed his progress with a win over the smaller obstacles despite the saddle slipping. He's only 4lb higher here and looks set to go close once again. The lightly-raced Buttsbury Lady is feared most after returning from a layoff and needs close monitoring in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Translink 2nd Buttsbury Lady 3rd Presenting Pete
