Nardaran was purchased for 135,000 euros following his debut effort on the Flat when third at Saint-Cloud and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the son of Waldgeist proved to be a useful recruit to this discipline. Inappropriate made a winning start to his hurdling career at Newcastle, but the form can be questioned and the vote, therefore, goes to RISK IT ALL. The yard boasts a fine record with juveniles and this doesn't look to be the strongest of renewals on paper.
Prediction : 1st Risk It All 2nd Nardaran 3rd Inappropriate

DELLA CASA LUNGA improved plenty from her return at Bangor with a decent second here in Listed company last time, and the step back up in trip may see the six-year-old get back to winning ways. Pawapuri shaped in need of her reappearance when a place behind the selection here and is unexposed stepping up in distance. Royale Margaux may represent some each-way value.
Prediction : 1st Della Casa Lunga 2nd Pawapuri 3rd Royale Margaux

Two of the brightest prospects in the division clash with Ballyburn and SIR GINO taking centre stage. Willie Mullins takes the unusual approach to send a top-notch novice prospect over before Cheltenham and Ballyburn's chasing debut at Punchestown was safe without being spectacular. The return to the minimum distance against a rival in the calibre of Sir Gino will need him to be a lot sharper in the jumping department and Nicky Henderson's four-year-old, already a comfortable winner of the Fighting Fifth this season, has reportedly schooled very well over fences. Rubaud looks booked for third.
Prediction : 1st Sir Gino 2nd Ballyburn 3rd Rubaud

Boothill (second) got the better of Edwardstone (third) when the pair met in the Shloer chase at Cheltenham last month, and the former can confirm his superiority over that rival once again. That said, MARTATOR is fancied to come out on top. Venetia Williams' seven-year-old impressed when scoring comfortably over 2m1f at Ascot latest and there is no telling where his ceiling may be at this stage.
Prediction : 1st Martator 2nd Boothill 3rd Edwardstone

FRERO BANBOU stripped fitter for his reappearance sixth in the Grand Sefton at Aintree when running out a ready winner of a hot handicap chase at Newcastle most recently. That form has a strong look to it and the suspicion is that a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Dreaming Blue impressed when making all over an extended 3m1f at Ludlow earlier this month and another bold bid off 3lb higher looks assured, while C&D winner Highstakesplayer is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Frero Banbou 2nd Dreaming Blue 3rd Highstakesplayer

Prior to his subdued effort in the Challow at Newbury last year, WILLMOUNT looked a novice hurdler potentially out of the top drawer. Nicky Henderson's charge was still going well when falling three out on his handicap debut at Cheltenham recently and, off an unchanged mark, he gets the vote to atone for that mishap and return to winning ways. Aucunrisque took advantage of a sliding mark when landing the spoils over 2m at Ascot last month and another bold showing looks likely nudged up 4lb. The unexposed Jet Powered and Valgrand are a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Willmount 2nd Aucunrisque 3rd Jet Powered
