JIPCOT was in the process of running a big race when falling at the last on his most recent outing at Ascot and the four-year-old merits plenty of respect off a 1lb lower mark here. Cerendipity was well held on his chasing debut at Sedgefield recently but should not be underestimated, while Missed Tee edges out Chapel Green to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jipcot 2nd Cerendipity 3rd Missed Tee

I'm Too Tired has made the frame in all three of his previous starts over hurdles and is likely to go well once again. That said, preference is for KOUROSH, who showed ability when trained on the Flat in Germany and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start for these connections. Star Turn only found one too good at Ludlow a few weeks ago and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kourosh 2nd Im Too Tired 3rd Star Turn

JET LEGS ended his last campaign with back-to-back victories over hurdles in March and his chasing debut at Carlisle last month suggested that the six-year-old would remain competitive off his current mark. Snipe was a beaten favourite on his most recent outing but has strong form claims based on his previous success at Southwell, while No But I Will should not be discounted of his chasing bow.
Prediction : 1st Jet Legs 2nd Snipe 3rd No But I Will

Indeevar Bleu was sent off joint-favourite for his hurdling debut at Ayr earlier in the month and finished a well-held fourth, but it is too soon to write the bumper winner off. However, the one to side with may be THE VILLAGE WAY, who is a well-related son of Spanish Moon and goes for the Dan Skelton yard on his Rules debut after finishing second on both point-to-point starts. Any market confidence behind him would add further interest, while Notimeforanother was a solid performer on the Flat and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Village Way 2nd Indeevar Bleu 3rd Notimeforanother

Hystery Bere filled the runner-up berth over an extended 2m3f at Stratford last month and he has to be respected off a 1lb lower rating. However, the vote goes to NETYWELL, who was beaten into third at Aintree in this grade last time and was dropped 1lb for that effort. The six-year-old has Stephen Malqueen back on board and can return to winning ways. Tokay Dokey returns from a long absence and is well worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Netywell 2nd Hystery Bere 3rd Tokay Dokey

Giver The Hollie finished a fair fifth at Warwick on her debut under Rules earlier in the month and, with that experience under her belt, she ought to have a say in this contest. However, the one to be with may be MOONLIT POTTER, who is a well-bred daughter of Pether's Moon and is related to plenty of winners, so it would be no surprise to see her making a winning debut under Daryl Jacob. Any market support behind Seas The Day would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Moonlit Potter 2nd Giver The Hollie 3rd Seas The Day
