THANK YOU BLUE got off the mark on his hurdling debut here last month and a step up in trip promise to yield improvement from the son of Blue Bresil. Panhandle Slim filled the runner-up spot on his first attempt over timber at Bangor and is capable of being in the mix, while Wild Side Of Life is expected to find this an easier assignment than his latest start at Cheltenham.
Prediction : 1st Thank You Blue 2nd Panhandle Slim 3rd Wild Side Of Life

I'M TOO TIRED struggled to make an impact against a useful type at Wetherby on his latest start and the juvenile makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut. Joie De Vivre went up 4lb for her victory here last month and she is likely to go well once again. Imperial Measure was no match for an easy winner at Taunton last time but remains capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Im Too Tired 2nd Joie De Vivre 3rd Imperial Measure

CONTRE ORDRE improved for the drop in trip when scoring over C&D on his most recent outing and the five-year-old appears likely to have more to offer, despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Zuckerberg won here over further on the same card as the selection and is likely to enter the reckoning. Moore Clouds and Beat The Edge are others worth considering.
Prediction : 1st Contre Ordre 2nd Zuckerberg 3rd Moore Clouds

LANGTON WOLD has filled second place on his two previous starts over hurdles, both of which came over C&D, and the four-year-old has been found an ideal opportunity to go one better here. That said, Ridin Solo should not be underestimated on his Rules bow having won between the flags in October, while Lario and Getaway Glory are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Langton Wold 2nd Ridin Solo 3rd Lario

Mothill has to be respected having been successful when last seen over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June, but marginal preference is for HEARTBREAK KID. Donald McCain's gelding was only narrowly denied over fences here last time and that effort suggests that he could be hard to stop off a mark of 116 now switched to timber. Others to note are Harper Valley and Moonlight Glory.
Prediction : 1st Heartbreak Kid 2nd Mothill 3rd Harper Valley

TOM CREEN is in cracking form at present and he has been victorious on each of his last two starts at this track, but he suffered defeat when beaten into second at Southwell last month. The eight-year-old is only 5lb higher than his success over C&D on his penultimate start and he can quickly return to winning ways. Heritier hit the crossbar over hurdles at Bangor earlier in the month and is noted along with Duo D'Enfer.
Prediction : 1st Tom Creen 2nd Heritier 3rd Duo DEnfer

BACKDOORFLUSH (second) had Vanilla Dancer (third) behind by 14 lengths when making her debut under Rules over C&D and she renews that rivalry on 7lb better terms. The daughter of Mount Nelson was put in her place in Listed company last time, but this looks like a much more suitable assignment. As for the latter, she was victorious over track and trip last time, beating Chantilly Dragon (third), and has to carry a penalty. Any market support for Blue Las would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Backdoorflush 2nd Vanilla Dancer 3rd Blue Las
