Kym Eyre got up in the dying strides over this trip at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and she should go well once again, even off a 7lb higher rating. However, preference is for ROSEARELLI, who returned from a long absence to run with credit when fourth over hurdles at Worcester last month and she could make her second start for the Dr Richard Newland stable a victorious one. Trapista is another to consider after her third at Uttoxeter.
Prediction : 1st Rosearelli 2nd Kym Eyre 3rd Trapista

Mt Fugi Park was bought for 290,000 pounds earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see him figure on his debut under Rules. However, the vote goes to WRAPPEDUPINMAY, who hosed up on his first bumper start at Exeter before failing to justify his short odds under a penalty at Sandown. The son of Ocovango represents powerful connections and he is likely to be bang there where it matters. Support Act was impressive at Wetherby and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Wrappedupinmay 2nd Mt Fugi Park 3rd Support Act

MANORBANK has been successful on his last two outings over the smaller obstacles, including over this trip on his penultimate start. The son of Arcadio makes his chase debut off what could prove to be a lenient mark of 124, so he ought to go close. The main danger is Matata, who finished sixth in Grade 1 company at Aintree when last seen in April and he has plenty of ability, while Out Of Office completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Manorbank 2nd Matata 3rd Out Of Office

Faivoir capitalised off a reduced mark when landing the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and a 5lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid on his seasonal debut. However, slight preference is for NEMEAN LION, who capped off a fine campaign last season by landing a Kelso Grade 2 in March and the six-year-old may have more to offer now entering handicaps. Gin Coco and Strong Leader also warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Nemean Lion 2nd Faivoir 3rd Gin Coco

COAL FIRE relished the stiffer test when regaining the winning thread over an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot recently and first-time cheekpieces may bring about enough improvement to overcome a 4lb rise. Fellow last-time-out winner Jacks Orchard is having only his third appearance in handicap company and is feared most now upped to 3m. Horizon D'or was too bad to be true when seventh at Uttoxeter and the six-year-old could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Coal Fire 2nd Jacks Orchard 3rd Horizon Dor

Having won on his chasing debut/first run for his current trainer at Worcester, LUSITANIEN was then let down by his jumping when turned over at Southwell latest. Better can be expected this time, but it would be foolish to dismiss Ideallko, given he has scope to improve on just his second start over fences. The veteran Abaya Du Mathan is a wily performer who rates as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lusitanien 2nd Ideallko 3rd Abaya Du Mathan

WICKED THOUGHTS, who won his sole start in a point-to-point by 25 lengths, was snapped up for 135,000 pounds at the Aintree sales in April, and looks the most appealing option as Paul Nicholls introduces the gelding at a very realistic level. Call To Duty is second choice after he hinted at ability with a respectable third at Taunton in April, while Highlands Legacy is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wicked Thoughts 2nd Call To Duty 3rd Highlands Legacy
