A promising runner-up on her return here last month over shorter, REGAL RENAISSANCE is taken to go one better at a track where she won comfortably in April. A winner of two of his last three, Ramo is of interest on the drop in trip, while Fenney Brook should be able to build on a determined success at Hereford last time out. The Bomber Liston and Toothless are likely to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Regal Renaissance 2nd Ramo 3rd Fenney Brook

This can go the way of BOOK OF TALES, who was an impressive winner on his hurdles debut at Fontwell in August. Charlie Longsdon's charge should have plenty more to come and he is preferred to Chepstow scorer Balboa and Right Now, who could be interesting on his first start for the Sheila Lewis stable. Star Turn is a hurdling debutant to note for the in-form Alan King yard.
Prediction : 1st Book Of Tales 2nd Balboa 3rd Right Now

13:25 Ludlow

TIGHTENOURBELTS could not have won any easier here on his latest start in March, and a mark of 124 on his chase debut looks manageable. Emma Lavelle's charge gets the vote ahead of the capable Washington, who must be of interest on his first start for the Paul Nicholls yard. Runner-up on two of his last three starts, Jubilee Express is entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Tightenourbelts 2nd Washington 3rd Jubilee Express

FLORENCETHEMACHINE found only a useful mare too strong when runner-up on her hurdling debut at Chepstow last month and any natural improvement should make Paul Nicholls' five-year-old tough to beat. Although Between Waters failed to meet market expectations on her sixth-placed finish in a warm bumper at Ascot last season, the daughter of Walk In The Park is likely to on the premises entering this sphere, along with Girls In Skirts.
Prediction : 1st Florencethemachine 2nd Between Waters 3rd Girls In Skirts

Hunter Legend posted his best effort to date when second at Ffos Las in May and Venetia Williams' gelding isn't taken lightly if continuing in the same heart after a 184-day absence. However, there may be some value in taking the six-year-old on with a race-fit TEN PAST MIDNIGHT. The son of Midnight Legend has recorded his best efforts over 2m this season. Famoso completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ten Past Midnight 2nd Hunter Legend 3rd Famoso

CHOCCABLOC was only headed in the dying strides on his first appearance over timber at this venue a fortnight ago and compensation could await with that experience under his belt. The Doyen Chief made the perfect start to his Rules debut when landing a bumper at Hereford in April and Alan King's winning pointer can't be underestimated entering this discipline. Goonhilly may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Choccabloc 2nd The Doyen Chief 3rd Goonhilly

15:45 Ludlow

Off the back of a good second over the extended 3m1f at Ffos Las in April, ROBYNDZONE commands a lot of respect and rates the one to beat. He could still be well handicapped off 107 and, 3-8 over fences, there is likely more to come from him over the larger obstacles. Jaytee is also respected, while Lord Sparky is interesting on his return too.
Prediction : 1st Robyndzone 2nd Jaytee 3rd Lord Sparky

16:20 Ludlow

GIDDYUPADINGDONG made a very pleasing start to his career when scoring over the extended 1m5f in a bumper at Huntingdon and he can follow up that success. Milton Harris' charge can put that experience to good use over many of these rivals and more improvement can be expected. Carved In Stone is feared most for trainer Hugo Palmer who has very few bumper runners, while Bobacious is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Giddyupadingdong 2nd Carved In Stone 3rd Bobacious
