Karaktere D'enfer finished a narrow second at Fontainebleau on his debut in March, when trained in France, and, though a similar effort ought to give him every chance, the vote instead goes to THINK FIRST. Neil Mulholland's new recruit was a more than useful performer on the Flat and he should be a tough nut to crack if taking to his new discipline. Mojo Ego has the most hurdling experience and connections will be hopeful that he can put it to good use.
Prediction : 1st Think First 2nd Karaktere Denfer 3rd Mojo Ego

FEARLESS ACTION was said to have benefitted from the application of first-time cheekpieces (retained) when winning at Kelso last month. A subsequent 5lb rise does not look overly harsh given the manner of that success and, should he handle quicker conditions, the son of Yeats could double up. Key Factor made a satisfactory chasing debut at Exeter last time out and he looks likely to take a step forward on his second outing following wind surgery, while Guillaume is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Fearless Action 2nd Key Factor 3rd Guillaume

Dual bumper winner INOUI MACHIN makes his hurdles debut and, being a half-brother to five winners over jumps, it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Ivegotdapower arrives following back-to-back victories in the pointing sphere and might prove to be the selection's biggest danger. Samazul and Little Peter have each shown a fair level of ability in bumpers and both could feature, while Mountain Pass should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Inoui Machin 2nd Ivegotdapower 3rd Samazul

HARDY BOY hit the crossbar when last seen over fences in August and he followed that up with an underwhelming fourth at Worcester over the smaller obstacles last time. However, the return to this sphere off a 1lb lower mark could see him regain the winning thread. Passing Reflection finished fourth on her chase debut at Ludlow over a furlong further and could take a step forward, while Abaya Du Mathan is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Hardy Boy 2nd Passing Reflection 3rd Abaya Du Mathan

EAST END GIRL accounted for her nearest rival by a length and a half in this grade at Hereford last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put her up 3lb for that victory. The daughter of Youmzain is the one to beat. The main threat is Luna Dora, who was only denied by just over two lengths into second at Uttoxeter last time. Of the remainder, Luckie Money makes the most appeal on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st East End Girl 2nd Luna Dora 3rd Luckie Money

The Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero team can do very little wrong at present and they appear to have a strong chance to continue their fine run of form with GABORIOT. A winner at Kempton last month when returning from a break, the seven-year-old could have more to offer racing off a 3lb higher mark. Crystal Moon has gone well fresh in the past and is open to improvement on just his third start over fences, while Brave Starlight is expected to leave behind his Exeter run over timber.
Prediction : 1st Gaboriot 2nd Crystal Moon 3rd Brave Starlight

15:53 Doncaster

Zwicky commands the utmost respect in search of a fourth victory from his last five starts and the six-year-old has the advantage of Joe Williamson's claim negating the 4lb rise for his Carlisle success last month. The vote, though, goes to NICKELFORCE, who benefited from a first-time hood when runner-up at Hereford and a more galloping track on this occasion may help. Others to consider are Mister Barclay and Immortal Fame.
Prediction : 1st Nickelforce 2nd Zwicky 3rd Mister Barclay
