There would be no more deserving winner than Basford, who keeps hitting the crossbar, including as favourite at Carlisle and Aintree. He was also scheduled to appear at Newton Abbot on Wednesday, though, and on the assumption that he may not turn up here, WOODIE FLASH gets the nod. Olly Murphy forked out 20,000 pounds for the five-year-old after he struck between the flags in Ireland in February, and he can see an immediate return on the investment. Johnny Dogs is another point-to-point winner but is far more exposed.
Prediction : 1st Woodie Flash 2nd Basford 3rd Johnny Dogs

Despite having to settle for third when sent off favourite at Warwick on for his first start for Mark Walford, CARRAREA's performance still gave him something to build on it and he made no mistake next time as an odds-on favourite here. His official rating of 122 sets a clear standard and he really shouldn't be beaten. Saint Jaguen has shown some ability in bumpers, while Wurlitzer can step forward from his jumping now, and they could claim the minor money, although Outsmart is interesting on the pick of his Flat form.
Prediction : 1st Carrarea 2nd Saint Jaguen 3rd Wurlitzer

LENEBANE showed the benefit of her first two runs for Rebecca Menzies, with a wind operation between them, when third on her handicap debut in a C&D event landed by a subsequent winner. The five-year-old has been dropped 2lb for that performance and she can break her duck. More To Follow took a step forward when runner-up at Newcastle, although he is 5lb out of the handicap here. With that in mind, Kolisi might be the primary danger, especially if this comes too soon after Double Click's Warwick engagement on Wednesday.
Prediction : 1st Lenebane 2nd Kolisi 3rd More To Follow

TARDREE is happiest on a sound surface, as advertised by his admittedly slightly fortunate victory over fences at Wetherby in October. He has been off since, but his hurdling mark is 13lb lower than his figure over fences and he can go well fresh. Kihavah reverts to the NH game after a success on the level at York, while Midnight Ginger and Ashington arrive on the back of second placings. Mulberry Hill might appreciate the return to the smaller obstacles after coming to grief at Ludlow.
Prediction : 1st Tardree 2nd Kihavah 3rd Ashington

FRIARY ROCK struck by two and a half lengths at Perth last time and that looks by far the best form on offer in this contest. The eight-year-old was put up 3lb in the weights for that effort, which is unlikely to prevent him from making it a double with champion jockey Brian Hughes doing the steering. Reserve Tank could be the one to follow him home as his mark continues to fall, while Da Vinci Hand is having his first run after a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st Friary Rock 2nd Reserve Tank 3rd Da Vinci Hand

20:15 Market Rasen

Victory Echo made all to strike by six lengths last time over 3m at Perth, but he was raised 4lb for that success which could open the door for COUP DE PINCEAU. The son of Buck's Boum put in a much improved display at Ffos Las in this grade last time when beaten six and a half lengths, but he was miles clear of the third and could be ready to score off the same mark. D'jango has to be of interest too.
Prediction : 1st Coup De Pinceau 2nd Victory Echo 3rd Django

20:45 Market Rasen

HOT FIZZY LIZZY did it nicely at Southwell last time and she now carries a 7lb penalty for that success. The Dan Skelton representative looks to have lots in her favour once more, with Tristan Durrel claiming 5lb, and she is likely to prove tough to beat. The main danger is Buck Of Maine, who showed promise on his debut and should have more to offer, while any market support for The Gambler would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Hot Fizzy Lizzy 2nd Buck Of Maine 3rd The Gambler
