With many of these struggling to find their form and assuming this doesn't come around too quickly, STAR VANTAGE has a golden opportunity to go one place better than his second-placed finish over this trip at Southwell on Monday. Deep Strato has also shown some promise over hurdles and may well improve for stepping up in trip. River Voyage and Skin Full are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Star Vantage 2nd Deep Strato 3rd River Voyage

WALLQUATARI emerged unscathed from a tired fall on his hurdles debut at Stratford in October and posted a more encouraging effort when he filled the runner-up spot over C&D the following month. Donald McCain's charge could be tough to deal with if taking another step forward. Smart Decision looked set for second until he unseated at the last at Haydock most recently and is another who commands attention. Shareyourbiscuits and Mad Maxios are notable debutants to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Wallquatari 2nd Smart Decision 3rd Shareyourbiscuits

The lightly-raced BEAU QUALI had the race at his mercy when he fell three out at Newcastle last month and can atone for that mishap here. With Tristan Durrell taking over in the saddle and claiming 3lb, Dan Skelton's five-year-old must have a great chance. Stressfree rates the most obvious danger after a promising third on hurdles bow at Catterick last month. Former pointer Klapton Boy can also figure having shown promise at Wetherby on his Rules debut.
Prediction : 1st Beau Quali 2nd Stressfree 3rd Klapton Boy

Reverting to hurdles suited Shanagh Bob when finishing second at Huntingdon a fortnight ago and, dropped in class off 2lb higher, he merits respect. The vote, however, goes to talented Flat performer WISE EAGLE. A commanding winner at both Musselburgh and Catterick before finding one too strong on the level at Newcastle recently, he could be well treated off a mark of 123. American Sniper is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Wise Eagle 2nd Shanagh Bob 3rd American Sniper

On target over hurdles at Ffos Las last May, connections wasted no time in sending DE TELLERS FORTUNE over a fence. It was only a narrow win which he recorded over 2m7f at Taunton in December, but this longer trip promises to suit and with plenty of scope for improvement, a 6lb rise should be no barrier to success. Kelce was still in contention when coming to grief at the last in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and is noted along with Saladins Son.
Prediction : 1st De Tellers Fortune 2nd Kelce 3rd Saladins Son

15:55 Doncaster

Crystal Glance will need to put a below-par fifth at Aintree behind her in order to feature, but her penultimate second behind a subsequent winner at this venue gives her a chance. However, SHE'S A ROCCA returned to form with a solid second over an inadequate 2m1f at Newcastle in December and she looks ready to strike. Handicap debutant Rockola Vogue should appreciate this step back up in distance and also makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Shes A Rocca 2nd Crystal Glance 3rd Rockola Vogue

16:30 Doncaster

The progressive Rath Gaul Hill ended his last campaign by completing a double at Ayr and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. The market may guide on the seven-year-old's return from a 293-day absence and GETAWAY DRUMLEE is slightly more compelling. Ben Pauling's charge has posted two creditable efforts in defeat over fences this season and Callum Pritchard's 5lb claim should really help him. The downgraded Jar Du Desert is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Getaway Drumlee 2nd Rath Gaul Hill 3rd Jar Du Desert
