This looks like an ideal opportunity for SCHOOL DAYS OVER to get off the mark in this sphere, having shown up well last season on a couple of occasions without winning. Runner-up in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last November, his level of form should be too much for Mr Mackay, who went well for a long way at Worcester before a mistake at the second last cost him. Irish recruit Jimmy Boy has plenty of experience and must be noted for any market support.
Prediction : 1st School Days Over 2nd Mr Mackay 3rd Jimmy Boy

An easy winner at Stratford last time out, CHESS PLAYER must hold every chance of following up from a 7lb higher mark, while the fact he won here over shorter in May is another major plus. Hidden Depths arrives with similar claims after a bloodless success at Sedgefield last week, but a 7lb penalty will make life tougher and Neil Mulholland's charge has never been the most consistent. Line Of Descent is another capable performer on his day and will appreciate going back up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Chess Player 2nd Hidden Depths 3rd Line Of Descent

BENNY SILVER returned from a 215-day break to run a career-best when second at Uttoxeter in August and that form gives him very strong claims in this. The from of his stable could hardly be better and the son of Mastercraftsmen gets the vote ahead of unexposed handicap debutant Saint Jaguen and Anger Management, who returned to winning ways with a determined success at Bangor-on-Dee last month.
Prediction : 1st Benny Silver 2nd Anger Management 3rd Saint Jaguen

REGARDE was successful in the pointing sphere back in March 2022 and the six-year-old, who didn't exactly go on as expected in four starts over hurdles, has the opportunity to take a big step forward now switched to chasing. The Wise Traveller was a lot more consistent over timber last season and is given another chance returning to the larger obstacles. Honneur De Sivola and If I Say complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Regarde 2nd The Wise Traveller 3rd Honneur De Sivola

BLUE SANS arrives in excellent form following a hat-trick of victories, all of them coming at Southwell during the summer months, and a 5lb rise for the latest success may not be enough to stop her. Edison Kent has been knocking on the door recently, with a step up in trip appearing to unlock some improvement, and he enters calculations along with The Questioner.
Prediction : 1st Blue Sans 2nd Edison Kent 3rd The Questioner

TOPKAPI is a rare runner in this sphere for Andrew Balding and the son of Bobby's Kitten, whose half-sister was a winner over an extended 1m3f on the level, makes plenty of appeal with Sean Bowen a notable jockey booking. Hill Spirit boasts a decent pedigree and represents a yard that have done particularly well with their limited National Hunt runners. Suleiman Artist, Theincrowd and Saved Lizzie are others worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Topkapi 2nd Hill Spirit 3rd Suleiman Artist
