A determined winner of a decent contest on his hurdling debut at Chepstow in November, HEROS DE ROMAY should have plenty more to come over this longer trip, and the ground should be of no concern either. Lord Of Thunder wasn't for catching here over 2m4f last time out and he must be a leading player, along with Paddy De Pole, who showed a modicum of promise on his Rules debut.
Prediction : 1st Heros De Romay 2nd Lord Of Thunder 3rd Paddy De Pole

MAJESTIC JAMEELA didn't disgrace herself in Listed company at Newbury and this represents a significant drop in grade, so she may be able to return to the form that saw her win easily at Leicester on her penultimate outing. Fresh Kiss is one to note for market support ahead of her UK/jumping debut, while it is also worth keeping an eye on Mairis Icon.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Jameela 2nd Fresh Kiss 3rd Mairis Icon

Now that ARTEMIS KIMBO has managed to get her head back in front with a taking success at Leicester last month, in a race that admittedly may not have taken much winning, Dan Skelton's mare is fancied to go in again under conditions that should suit once more. Fast Buck hasn't shown much this season but is well capable on his day, while Fakir is better than he showed at Bangor recently.
Prediction : 1st Artemis Kimbo 2nd Fast Buck 3rd Fakir

ONE LAST GLANCE made a pleasing return from a lengthy absence when runner-up at Lingfield in November and the seven-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Feach Amach was a surprise winner at Sedgefield when last seen and has to enter calculations on her handicap bow. Angel's Dream and Daany are both capable of being in the mix as well.
Prediction : 1st One Last Glance 2nd Feach Amach 3rd Angels Dream

GEORGES SAINT has stepped forward since his first crack at British fences with a pair of victories at Ffos Las and Fakenham. Venetia Williams' grey went up 7lb for the most recent success and further progression appears likely with conditions in his favour. Jacamar is well handicapped on his novice form and remains on the same mark as when runner-up here on Boxing Day. Iconic Muddle ran well when returning from a break at Kempton last season and is noted on this latest comeback off a 5lb lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Georges Saint 2nd Jacamar 3rd Iconic Muddle

INDIVIDUALISTE bolted up over 2m3f at Taunton last week and he was only put up 4lb for that victory, which could prove to be very lenient, and he might be hard to beat again. Astronomic View has hit the crossbar the last twice and is likely to be on the premises off a 3lb higher mark than his latest effort at Bangor. Intimate could also have a say on his handicap bow after his close-up third at Uttoxeter.
Prediction : 1st Individualiste 2nd Astronomic View 3rd Intimate

PERCY VEERING is unbeaten in three starts since undergoing a second wind operation and his latest success at Exeter suggested his winning streak isn't likely to come to an end just yet. He is now rated 19lb higher than at the beginning of his sequence, but could continue his rapid improvement. Haston Clermont struck at Lingfield last month and can prove the main threat off a 5lb higher rating, while Caeruleum may show more in a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Percy Veering 2nd Haston Clermont 3rd Caeruleum
