WESTERN SOLDIER was Group 3-placed when trained on the Flat in Germany, and he posted an excellent third on his hurdles debut 12 days ago. Natural improvement might be enough to see Milton Harris' charge strike, while Flidais, who sets the standard on official ratings, might be the main danger. Sangiovese hit the woodwork on his sole bumper start and must be of interest now sent over timber.
Prediction : 1st Western Soldier 2nd Flidais 3rd Sangiovese

With conditions likely to be testing, it might pay to side with KADEX. A winner on heavy ground when trained in France, he ran well for a long way when sent over fences at Warwick last month. The step up in trip could unlock some improvement and a subsequent 4lb ease in the handicap ought to further aid his chance. Ya Know Yaseff was unable to complete his hat-trick last time but should be thereabouts along with Highland Sting.
Prediction : 1st Kadex 2nd Ya Know Yaseff 3rd Highland Sting

DEAL EM HIGH posted a creditable fourth at Stratford in August and Debra Hamer's unexposed hurdler, who had shown signs of ability in maiden company previously, receives a tentative vote off 2lb lower. Embolden arrives in decent form and he is unlikely to be far away, while Star Legend should not be underestimated with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate.
Prediction : 1st Deal Em High 2nd Embolden 3rd Star Legend

SACRE COEUR went in by two lengths last time at Fontwell and that was in a class 2 event. The daughter of Montmartre was only put up 3lb for that and she could prove hard to beat. In The Air struck over the smaller obstacles when last seen in May and has to be of interest on his chase debut, while Lord Baddesley makes his return to the fray and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Sacre Coeur 2nd In The Air 3rd Lord Baddesley

UGGY UGGY UGGY was a comfortable eight-length victor on his latest outing at Warwick and, considering the manner of that victory, he could be very difficult to beat even off a 10lb higher rating. The main danger is Tara Iti after his success at Fontwell over an extended 2m1f, as he only has a 3lb rise to contend with. Of the remainder, Tapley makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Uggy Uggy Uggy 2nd Tara Iti 3rd Tapley

Ideallko won well at Ffos Las eight days ago and, with the longer trip of little concern, he appeals strongly under a 7lb penalty. Jack Doyen is also respected after an improved effort in cheekpieces (discarded today) at Warwick when last seen. However, GAMBIE TIEP edges the vote with his stamina and match fitness proven, and a 5lb higher mark for his Bangor success might not be enough to stop him.
Prediction : 1st Gambie Tiep 2nd Ideallko 3rd Jack Doyen

Unexposed at the trip, SHEWEARSTHEWELLIES showed the benefit of a wind operation when she landed a similar contest at Fontwell last month, and she has a live chance of going in again off just 5lb higher. Baby Sham is an appealing alternative based on her peak form and may find improvement having also undergone wind surgery since her latest start. Stamina Chope is suggested as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shewearsthewellies 2nd Baby Sham 3rd Stamina Chope
