NO REMATCH was narrowly denied over an extended 2m5f at Exeter on his latest start, but the step up in trip can work the oracle. The 10-year-old has done well since rejoining the Evan Williams stable and he may have too much for the consistent Pipers Cross, who has occupied the runner-up berth on all three appearances since switching to Robbie Llewellyn. Fantomas arrives with similar form claims and must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st No Rematch 2nd Pipers Cross 3rd Fantomas

BALLYBENTRAGH is bred to be smart as a half-brother to dual Grade 2 winner Bright New Dawn, and he got off to the perfect start with a taking success at Sandown last month. Stepping up in trip looks like a good move as he aims to see off Tedley, who remains a maiden but has gone close on two of his last three starts. Ten Lengths Tom is a player if turning up here instead of the 3.05 at Exeter.
Prediction : 1st Ballybentragh 2nd Tedley 3rd Ten Lengths Tom

DEMNAT made quite the impression on his first run for the Venetia Williams stable when easily scoring at Ludlow earlier in the month, and a 10lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up. He can take this en route to a possible tilt at the Cheltenham Festival, with last-time-out C&D winner Ballycamus looking best placed to chase him home. This represents a drop in grade for the consistent Es Perfecto, who is expected to be thereabouts again.
Prediction : 1st Demnat 2nd Ballycamus 3rd Es Perfecto

ROSE OF ARCADIA was gallant in defeat when 11 lengths clear of the third in the Grand Military Gold Cup and, prior to that, she produced another cracking effort to finish third in the Sussex National. Joe Tizzard's mare is 2lb lower compared to that day and could prove very hard to beat. The ex-French Eximia is an interesting contender on her first start for Venetia Williams and she warrants a market check at least. Recent Huntingdon winner Fortunefavorsdbold completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Rose Of Arcadia 2nd Eximia 3rd Fortunefavorsdbold

KLITSCHKO recovered from a tardy start to get up for second over track and trip last month and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 1lb. Alan King's gelding could have too much quality for his rivals in this contest, although Royal Rhythm is two out of three since switching to the Jonjo O'Neill yard and should remain competitive off a 6lb higher rating than for his Boxing Day success at Wetherby. Goonhilly is worth a look on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Klitschko 2nd Royal Rhythm 3rd Goonhilly

Geturguccion cost 100,000 pounds and is closely related to Listed-winning hurdler Saylavee. She made the frame in both of her point-to-point starts and has to be respected but may have to play second fiddle to PORTOBELLO GIRL, who was fourth in a Wincanton bumper and could take the necessary step forward for the Twiston-Davies team. Any market confidence behind Midnight Venture or Jackie Can on debut should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Portobello Girl 2nd Geturguccion 3rd Midnight Venture
