MOODOFTHEMOMENT improved from his return to fences when beaten a neck over C&D earlier in the month and the seven-year-old is capable of handling a 5lb rise in his bid to go one better. Mary went close on her trip across the Irish Sea at Downpatrick last week and she commands respect on her chasing bow. Others to consider are Delpotro and Tonto Foley.
Prediction : 1st Moodofthemoment 2nd Mary 3rd Delpotro

HOMETOWN BOY gained his first success over the larger obstacles here in June with an authoritative display. The nine-year-old jumped well on the whole and he can put that experience to best use. Coco Mademoiselle was a useful hurdler last season and she may prove to be the main threat on her first attempt over fences, while a change of scenery may have benefited Weveallbeencaught.
Prediction : 1st Hometown Boy 2nd Coco Mademoiselle 3rd Weveallbeencaught

POTTERS CHARM showed he has a big engine when landing a Ffos Las bumper at the end of March and the five-year-old is expected to make a winning start to life over hurdles, especially with a step up in distance in his favour. Micronormous shaped as though dropping back in trip would play to her strengths when travelling well here over 2m7f last time. Typhoon Flyer, Chancycourt and Zmiinyi are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Potters Charm 2nd Micronormous 3rd Typhoon Flyer

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has proved a different proposition since undergoing a wind procedure in November, with dominant displays at Fakenham and at this venue since. Paul Nicholls' mare makes her handicap debut off what looks a lenient mark and she may land the spoils in a competitive affair. The Willie Mullins-trained Fine Margin is sure to have his supporters in his quest to land a four-timer, while Mostly Sunny is a potential improver up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Seeyouinmydreams 2nd Fine Margin 3rd Mostly Sunny

A rise in distance inspired a career-best performance from EARTH CRY over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell and this extra yardage could improve him even further. Although an 8lb rise in the ratings demands more from the six-year-old, a fourth victory since June could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Tiger Jet, who made a successful stable debut at Cartmel last month. Fame And Fun is also worth a second look now reverting to hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Earth Cry 2nd Tiger Jet 3rd Fame And Fun

Bashful has been on the decline on the level since recording a hurdles double at Musselburgh in February and a career-high mark in this sphere demands more. With that in mind, it may be worth chancing DOG FOX being freshened up by a 64-day layoff. The four-year-old ran out a ready winner on his penultimate start at Bangor and he might be able to put his short-odds defeat when fifth over C&D behind him. Handicap debutant Dunbulcan Bay is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dog Fox 2nd Dunbulcan Bay 3rd Bashful
