With his stable and jockey riding the crest of a wave, it's hard to escape the claims held by the veteran JUDGE EARLE, who bounded to a wide-margin success at Uttoxeter eight days ago. Under a 7lb penalty, he has a live chance of following up. He is already a dual course winner and can give the Bowens another day to remember. Jet Smart and Talkingthetalk both have scope to improve over fences and head the list of dangers.
Prediction : 1st Judge Earle 2nd Jet Smart 3rd Talkingthetalk

Pottlerath is a dual track winner and is high on the shortlist, while Tiger Orchid won over C&D last month and is considered, despite being held off this mark back here 17 days ago. However, preference is for BIOWAVEGO, who is unexposed as a chaser and is well treated in comparison to his rating over timber. The son of Presenting is likely to be a lot wiser after last month's debut over fences and improvement can be expected.
Prediction : 1st Biowavego 2nd Pottlerath 3rd Tiger Orchid

The versatile STATE OF BLISS has more to offer over hurdles and, as he had plenty in hand when landing a maiden at Fakenham last month, he rates a key player on his handicap hurdle debut. Admittedly, the runner-up from that race didn't do much for the form on his next start, which creates hope for the likes of Fanfaron Dino and Mix Of Clover, who are both capable of giving the selection plenty to think about despite being more exposed.
Prediction : 1st State Of Bliss 2nd Fanfaron Dino 3rd Mix Of Clover

Runner-up on each of his three starts in bumpers, SIX AND OUT has shown more than enough ability to suggest that he can go well in this sphere. This looks like a winnable opportunity on his hurdles debut, with the capable yet inconsistent Tip Top Tonto and Warwick runner-up Democritus looking best placed to chase him home. En Avant and Shengai Enki can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Six And Out 2nd Tip Top Tonto 3rd Democritus

Similar to his stable, NADIM can do little wrong at present and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the four-year-old, with the step up in trip expected to bring about further improvement. A comfortable winner over C&D in June, Best Mate Dave looks to be his main danger, ahead of Painless Potter, who has been second here on two of his last three starts.
Prediction : 1st Nadim 2nd Best Mate Dave 3rd Painless Potter

KAPITALISTE may have been a major disappointment when pulling up here last time, but he had been in good form before that and stepping back up in trip could work the oracle. Similar comments apply to the unexposed Sylvies Dance, who is better than showing at Southwell most recently, while Blackjacktennessee is another capable of bouncing back to his best. Alberic and Punches Cross are on the shortlist also.
Prediction : 1st Kapitaliste 2nd Sylvies Dance 3rd Blackjacktennessee
