A half-brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Appreciate It, JOHNNY'S JURY is bred in the purple and he could be primed to strike on debut for leading connections. Trainer Paul Nicholls likes to unleash some smart sorts at this track, and point-to-point winner Just A Rose could be another, while Game Colours looks the pick of those with experience having gone close over C&D last time out. Malinificent and Springtime Legend cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Johnnys Jury 2nd Just A Rose 3rd Game Colours

I'VE MADEUPMYMIND may still be a maiden through five starts under Rules, but she made a promising hurdles debut last month at Hereford. With plenty of improvement expected on the back of that, Ben Pauling's mare gets the vote ahead of Miss Altea Blue, who disappointed on her stable debut at Newbury in November but should be much more at home in this grade. Future Fortune is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ive Madeupmymind 2nd Miss Altea Blue 3rd Future Fortune

A taking winner on his chase debut at Taunton in November, form which has worked out very well since, IN D'OR should have much more to come and a 6lb rise could underestimate the son of Nidor. Take Your Time must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate success at Ffos Las, while Livin On Luco is likely to be suited by these conditions.
Prediction : 1st In dOr 2nd Take Your Time 3rd Livin On Luco

Soldier's Leap found only a subsequent winner too good in this grade at Fontwell last month and has to be respected off a 2lb higher rating. However, it may pay to side with OUR DYLAN, who might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests when victorious at Exeter on his latest outing. Kayley Woollacott's nine-year-old can defy a career-high mark to complete a double. Sergeant completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Our Dylan 2nd Soldiers Leap 3rd Sergeant

NOCTE VOLATUS beat Stormy Flight (tenth) when successful in this grade at Chepstow in October and he is expected to confirm that form, despite being 5lb worse off this time around. Tom Lacey's veteran produced another good display when second in a stronger event than this at Ascot last time and he looks the one to beat. Stormy Flight put in a much better performance to fill the runner-up spot at Exeter latest and is noted. Of the remainder, Quel Destin makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Nocte Volatus 2nd Stormy Flight 3rd Quel Destin

KADO DE JOIE has taken a big step forwards in recent months, winning on both starts, and even a 6lb rise for his latest success at Lingfield a month ago may not be enough to stop him here. Authentic Legacy has been running well in defeat of late and has to be of interest in first-time cheekpieces, while any market support for Ninth Loch would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Kado De Joie 2nd Authentic Legacy 3rd Ninth Loch

RONNIES REFLECTION bounced back to form when winning well at Leicester a week ago and the seven-year-old appears to be the safest pick off just a 4lb higher mark. That said, Celtic Fortune hit the crossbar over C&D last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while The Midwife edges out Inchagoill Lady to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Ronnies Reflection 2nd Celtic Fortune 3rd The Midwife
