PRIME TIME LADY won twice over hurdles at the beginning of the season, when scoring at Warwick and Cartmel, and the six-year-old warrants plenty of respect on her chasing debut. The drop back in trip is likely to benefit Trapista following her most recent effort at Southwell in November, while others for the shortlist include Grandeur D'ame, who can be forgiven his latest outing at Lingfield, and Maninsane.
Prediction : 1st Prime Time Lady 2nd Trapista 3rd Grandeur Dame

RAYAPOUR had a decent reputation when joining Willie Mullins after a career on the Flat in France, with him being Listed-placed on his final start before moving to Ireland. The seven-year-old has clearly not been the easiest to train, making just two appearances in 2021, including at Royal Ascot, but he could prove tough to beat based on his third-placed finish when making his hurdling bow at Killarney in May. Imperial Bede is open to improvement following his third at Leicester, while Stellar One commands respect on debut.
Prediction : 1st Rayapour 2nd Imperial Bede 3rd Stellar One

BORN AT MIDNIGHT was pulled up at Fontwell when last seen on Boxing Day but it would be no surprise to see the eight-year-old bounce back to form, having enjoyed a productive autumn campaign. R Bernard would be a threat on the evidence of his second over hurdles at Wetherby in March, while a wind operation might aid the cause of Twistedfirestarter.
Prediction : 1st Born At Midnight 2nd R Bernard 3rd Twistedfirestarter

14:30 Huntingdon

Moveit Like Minnie has been largely consistent in recent starts and, though she merits consideration, a chance is taken on EYED. Paul Webber's charge has shown glimpses of ability having faced a handful of stiff assignments so far, but this handicap debut presents a more suitable opportunity to get off the mark. East End Girl and Jacks Touch might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Eyed 2nd Moveit Like Minnie 3rd East End Girl

Zambella has been an admirable performer for her powerful connections, landing Listed honours no less than seven times, and Nigel Twiston-Davies mare is likely to be thereabouts once again. However, Gavin Cromwell sends JEREMYS FLAME, a Grade 3 winner in November, over from from Ireland and the daughter of Jeremy appears to hold the edge on these terms. Tweed Skirt is unbeaten in two starts over fences, having scored at Kempton and Wincanton, and the unexposed six-year-old shouldn't be dismissed for her leading trainer.
Prediction : 1st Jeremys Flame 2nd Zambella 3rd Tweed Skirt

15:35 Huntingdon

There looked to be something amiss with GET A TONIC when disappointing at Kempton over Christmas, and she would hold every chance if bouncing back to the form of her second at Haydock before that. Conditions looks ideal and she may have too much for the likes of easy Cheltenham winner Hector Javilex, who has gone up 8lb for that success, and The Changing Man, who narrowly missed out on a four-timer when second off 5lb lower at Taunton last month.
Prediction : 1st Get A Tonic 2nd Hector Javilex 3rd The Changing Man

16:10 Huntingdon

STRONG BELLE was pitched in at the deep end when third in Listed company on her debut over C&D last month and she could be primed to strike in much calmer waters now. Dontyawantme is open to improvement as well after a promising run at Newcastle, while Irish raider Love At Sea would be a player if bouncing back to her best. A sister to the smart Go Dante from the same stable, Little Miss Dante cost 100,000 pounds and looks to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Strong Belle 2nd Dontyawantme 3rd Little Miss Dante
