BROOMFIELD PRESENT made both a pleasing Rules and stable debut for Kim Bailey when securing a comfortable victory over 2m4f at Ffos Las in November and a 7lb penalty for that success does not look set to stop him following up in this. No But I Will was a well-beaten favourite on his most recent run at Haydock but should not be ruled out, while Captain Westie completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Broomfield Present 2nd No But I Will 3rd Captain Westie

Although she finished a distant second on her most recent run over 2m7f at Lingfield, it could pay to take a chance on BRANDISOVA, who is on the same mark and still took a big step forward from her penultimate outing over an extended 2m3f. Imperial Pride remains very unexposed and could also make her presence felt, while the booking of Brian Hughes for Storm Force One catches the eye too.
Prediction : 1st Brandisova 2nd Imperial Pride 3rd Storm Force One

Lisloran was a game winner on his most recent run at Ayr over an extended 2m4f, but the hat-trick seeking seven-year-old has to shoulder top weight now and it is easier to side with VETONCALL. Alan Jones' charge made a pleasing return to action when securing a comfortable success over 3m at Fakenham in November and is fancied to follow up off 5lb higher. Beat The Edge finished a decent second on his most recent run at Wetherby and also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Vetoncall 2nd Lisloran 3rd Beat The Edge

COPSHILL LAD shaped as though he needed his first run over hurdles when returning at Exeter on New Year's Day following a bumper success at Stratford in May. The five-year-old is expected to have sharpened up from that display and the booking of Harry Cobden edges him the vote. General Officer carries a double penalty based on his two victories at Musselburgh and is capable of further improvement along with Hexham scorer Bingoo.
Prediction : 1st Copshill Lad 2nd General Officer 3rd Bingoo

THE GALLOPING BEAR was just beginning to feel the pinch when coming to grief in the Welsh National on his latest start, having been strongly fancied to play a leading role. The 10-year-old is likely to find the drop in grade to his liking and, despite this being a relatively quick turnaround, the gelding may prove to be a class act against this opposition. Legends Ryde is of interest stepping up in trip after a solid effort against her own sex at Cheltenham last month, while a first-time visor might see an improved effort from Sam's Adventure.
Prediction : 1st The Galloping Bear 2nd Legends Ryde 3rd Sams Adventure

Nathan Moscrop won't be messing around on YOU SOME BOY and the combination of first-time cheekpieces and a 1lb drop in the ratings could make him difficult to beat. Lady Bowes is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Haydock only three starts ago and might land a blow, while a switch to hurdles and the fitting of a visor makes Mr Washington interesting.
Prediction : 1st You Some Boy 2nd Lady Bowes 3rd Mr Washington

EL MUCHACHO has done nothing but improve since switched to hurdles and he was an impressive winner on his handicap debut at Plumpton last time. Although carrying a 7lb penalty, he is due to go up a further 4lb in the near future and is hard to oppose under a red-hot Harry Cobden. The Navigator and Moonlight Spirit both drop in class and could put up most resistance.
Prediction : 1st El Muchacho 2nd The Navigator 3rd Moonlight Spirit
