The application of a hood has appeared to make all the difference to MULLINAREE, who is two from two since it's fitting. With both of those successes coming over C&D, a further 3lb rise in the handicap is unlikely to scupper another bold bid and he edges the vote over last month's track scorer Astromachia. Mothill remains in good form and he should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Mullinaree 2nd Astromachia 3rd Mothill

Hot Rod Lincoln sets the standard with an official rating of 109 but while he merits respect, a chance is taken on AMALFI BAY. Now in the care of Anthony Honeyball, the five-year-old achieved a peak rating of 77 when campaigned on the Flat. On that evidence, he's likely to be good enough, although he will need to prove he can perform in this sphere. Shandancer can chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Amalfi Bay 2nd Hot Rod Lincoln 3rd Shandancer

DOCTOR FOLEY was a comfortable winner at Bangor on his fencing debut last month, and Anthony Honeyball's unexposed six-year-old is expected to prove too strong once more with further improvement likely. Recent Chepstow scorer Doyens De Ante ought to be in the thick of things again, while Mister Tickle, who finds himself 14lb below his last winning mark, cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Foley 2nd Doyens De Ante 3rd Mister Tickle

LANSPARK finished a promising second on his stable debut for Robbie Llewellyn at Huntingdon and with improvement a distinct possibility, he could go one place better off the same mark. Blade Runner would have likely finished closer on his return from a winter break at Warwick but for making some jumping errors and he's feared most if cutting out the mistakes. Royal Lake also arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lanspark 2nd Blade Runner 3rd Royal Lake

DOYEN FOR MONEY took a big step forward when winning on his handicap debut at Plumpton and is hard to oppose off only 4lb higher. Doyen Queen was far from disgraced in fourth on her belated return in a maiden hurdle at Warwick and she isn't taken lightly now back in the handicap ranks. Forest Jump has been shaping as if this stiffer test could unlock some potential and he also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Doyen For Money 2nd Doyen Queen 3rd Forest Jump

Twenty Twenty came to grief at the first on his comeback at Kempton last week, but there will be plenty who keep the faith, especially considering he has dropped to his last winning mark. Even so, BALLYBEEN has been knocking on the door of late and finished a decent second behind Sainte Doctor at Chepstow last month. Now eased in class, he gets the nod to take full advantage. Pawpaw also warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Ballybeen 2nd Twenty Twenty 3rd Pawpaw

Only narrowly denied in a point-to-point in February, CALLIN BATON ROUGE has since changed hands for 30,000 pounds and can make both a winning stable and Rules bow for Warren Greatrex here. Sassy Miss Margot should come into her own over further and when faced with an obstacle, but is an interesting newcomer for Milton Harris. Lucky Punch, third between the flags last month, can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Callin Baton Rouge 2nd Sassy Miss Margot 3rd Lucky Punch
