WE'LLHAVEWAN was winning a Listed event at Navan for Willie Mullins around this time last year. He has failed to run up to the same level since switching to Rebecca Menzies' yard, but this is much easier than his recent assignments and he will likely prove a cut above the opposition. The remainder race from out of the handicap, including the selection's stablemate Magnetic North, who is fit from the Flat and reverts to hurdling with a shout in this grade. Straitouttacompton is preferred to Tio Mio of the remaining pair.
Prediction : 1st Wellhavewan 2nd Magnetic North 3rd Straitouttacompton

Well held in four starts over hurdles, RONNIES REFLECTION posted a better effort when tackling fences for the first time, finishing a respectable third at Leicester. He has the scope to rate higher than his current mark over the larger obstacles and a bold bid is anticipated. Asa failed to fire at Wetherby last month, but has a shout if building on her fifth at Kelso before that. Stuti has placed over hurdles here and is one to note upped in distance for her chasing bow.
Prediction : 1st Ronnies Reflection 2nd Asa 3rd Stuti

INDEEVAR BLEU landed the odds at Leicester with the minimum of fuss on his first start for over a year. Olly Murphy's charge can confirm the promise of that success and defy a penalty. His stablemate Jackpot D'ainay fell at the last at Ffos Las, but had looked set to place before that and could feature with a clear round. Diamond Koda made the frame in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time and has place claims once again.
Prediction : 1st Indeevar Bleu 2nd Jackpot Dainay 3rd Diamond Koda

13:47 Market Rasen

KELCE got off the mark at the third attempt over fences here earlier in the month with a fine round of jumping. The six-year-old steps up in trip and may have further progression to come, despite a 7lb rise. Ballydisco showed no ill-effects from his Carlisle fall when touched off at Wetherby and he enters calculations along with O'Connell, who finished fourth when sent off favourite 12 months ago and returns following a game success at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Kelce 2nd Ballydisco 3rd OConnell

14:22 Market Rasen

GALUNGGUNG appears to be worth another chance following his disappointing return from a break at Haydock last month. The ease in grade is likely to benefit him and Donald McCain's gelding also has less questions to answer than the opposition. Damarta made some jumping errors when fourth at Warwick and will need to be sharper in that department. With that in mind, Kuzco is nominated as the main threat, with the switch to fences a potential source of improvement.
Prediction : 1st Galunggung 2nd Kuzco 3rd Damarta

14:57 Market Rasen

Rehill Relic bounced back to form with a respectable third at Doncaster last month and he warrant consideration off just 1lb higher. However, DINO BELLAGIO looks just the type to improve for this step up in distance. Donald McCain's gelding was only beaten three lengths when finishing fourth over an extended 2m here three weeks ago and a breakthrough victory in this discipline looks imminent. Traveling Soldier is also noted now faced with a stiffer test.
Prediction : 1st Dino Bellagio 2nd Rehill Relic 3rd Traveling Soldier

15:32 Market Rasen

SALLEY GARDENS performed much better than forecast when finishing a staying-on second over an inadequate trip at Leicester last month. That was the eight-year-old's first outing in 515 days and compensation could be on the cards over this longer distance. Homme D'Un Soir made all here 21 days ago and is effectively racing off the same mark now that Alice Stevens can use her 3lb claim. Billy Aprahamian's gelding is feared most, ahead of Gilbertina.
Prediction : 1st Salley Gardens 2nd Homme DUn Soir 3rd Gilbertina
