CATBOY may have been inconvenienced by a quick turnaround at Fakenham after filling the runner-up spot at Exeter just eight days prior and the four-year-old is expected to bounce back on this occasion. Imperial Jade benefited from a wind operation when third at Chepstow on her return to action and is respected along with Prairie Diamond, who reached the frame at Fontwell in August.
Prediction : 1st Catboy 2nd Imperial Jade 3rd Prairie Diamond

I SHUT THAT D'OR got off the mark over fences at Plumpton earlier in the month and a 3lb rise might not be enough to stop Joe Tizzard's charge from taking another step forward. The booking of Harry Cobden for chasing debutant Cave Article shouldn't be ignored and it would be no surprise if he left behind the level of form he achieved over hurdles. Celtic Ned appeared to need his return at Fontwell and is expected to be a lot sharper.
Prediction : 1st I Shut That Dor 2nd Cave Article 3rd Celtic Ned

AMBION VIEW's victory at Exeter was boosted by the runner-up winning at Cheltenham on Sunday and the manner of that performance suggested a step up in trip would see him in an even better light. Tinklers Hill makes his first appearance in more than a year following his only start over hurdles when a beaten favourite at Taunton. He is entitled to have benefited from that experience, while stable companion Dino Magic is likely to improve after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Ambion View 2nd Tinklers Hill 3rd Dino Magic

SUNSET MARQUESA achieved a high level of form in bumpers last season before finishing a well-held second on her hurdling bow earlier this month. She did have a tendency to jump left at Uttoxeter but, with improvement likely in that department, Joe Tizzard's mare looks to have been found a fine opportunity. Loud And Proud brings plenty of pointing experience to the table and is sure to have a future in this discipline. Hello Cello can also progress now sent hurdling.
Prediction : 1st Sunset Marquesa 2nd Loud And Proud 3rd Hello Cello

Pyffo had excuses at Market Rasen in July and he'd been progressive prior to that so is worth a second look now in the care of Harry Derham. However, it looks best to side with IRISH HILL, who recorded a determined victory at Plumpton recently and a 3lb rise ought to be no barrier to further success. War Lord has been running with credit since returning in September and it would come as no surprise were he to be in the shake-up too.
Prediction : 1st Irish Hill 2nd Pyffo 3rd War Lord

FIRST ANGEL enjoyed a productive campaign after joining this yard in the spring of last year, culminating in an impressive all-the-way victory over 2m1f at Stratford. Nudged up 2lb on his return from the sidelines, he gets the vote to land the spoils. Torneo should strip fitter for his chasing debut third at Uttoxeter and he must be of interest off 2lb lower, while last-time-out Hereford winner Famoso completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st First Angel 2nd Torneo 3rd Famoso

Joe Tizzard has his string in fine form at present and his AMERICAN LAND gets the vote to bring up a double. The six-year-old gets in unpenalised for last week's Taunton success and he should prove tough to stop with a repeat of that effort. Highly tried last season, this represents an ease in grade for Dirty Den and he looks the main danger to the selection on his handicap debut. Demilion is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st American Land 2nd Dirty Den 3rd Demilion
