JET OF DREAMS got up for second in this grade at Huntingdon earlier in the month and competes off the same rating. Warren Greatrex's six-year-old remains in good heart and might only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to regain the winning thread. Thirtyfour Thirty failed to fire on his first start for the Anthony Charlton stable, but he now makes his chasing bow and could put up a good fight.
Prediction : 1st Jet Of Dreams 2nd Thirtyfour Thirty 3rd null

Ugo Bingo made the frame on his handicap debut at Fakenham last month and should mount a bold bid in a first-time tongue-tie. However, it may pay to side with AMERICAN LAND, who ran too bad to be true when pulled up on his chasing debut at Wincanton last time. If the six-year-old can bounce back, it would be no surprise to see him score off a mark of 98 back over hurdles. Mordred is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st American Land 2nd Ugo Bingo 3rd Mordred

TUXEDO JUNCTION improved on his first start over hurdles to occupy the runner-up berth at Wincanton last time and he could take another step forward. David Pipe's five-year-old looks to have been found an ideal opportunity and can open his Rules account. Kauto The King sets the standard with a rating of 110 and is an interesting contender switching back to hurdles from fences, while Loki's Mischief is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Tuxedo Junction 2nd Kauto The King 3rd Lokis Mischief

Tout Sur Moi sets the standard with an official rating of 106. The five-year-old ought to hold every chance if running to that mark today, but GORE POINT looks a real danger. Anthony Honeyball's charge made all to win a bumper at Stratford last month and should Rex Dingle employ similar tactics on this hurdling bow, the gelding might be tough to peg back. Joe Tizzard has started the season in flying form and four-time Flat winner Alexei should be monitored in the betting market with that in mind.
Prediction : 1st Gore Point 2nd Tout Sur Moi 3rd Alexei

School For Scandal defeated Jony Max, who went on to record success of his own at Warwick next time, at Wincanton last month. The latter might be 2lb well-in under a penalty, but he is worse off with School For Scandal and might need more to reverse the form. Both merit respect, but it is LOCK OUT who shades preference. A comfortable winner at Chepstow last month, David Pipe's charge seemingly missed a golden opportunity to follow up quickly when turned over at Hereford three days later. However, he's back up in trip and should go very close.
Prediction : 1st Lock Out 2nd School For Scandal 3rd Jony Max

HEDERA PARK benefitted from a patient ride when landing a big-field handicap at Chepstow recently, an effort for which Debra Hamer's mare must shoulder a 7lb penalty. Callum Pritchard negates that burden in the plate courtesy of his claim and she appears to have been handed a fine opportunity. Linda Moon has few miles on the clock and looks set to improve for a step up in trip, while Getmetothemoon is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hedera Park 2nd Linda Moon 3rd Getmetothemoon
