Kentford Mallard showed a lot more when second in a warmer event at Sandown in January and she is a previous C&D winner that warrants huge respect. However, ONE MAN PARTY gets the nod. David Bridgwater's eight-year-old only found a well-handicapped rival too good in this grade at Fakenham last month and he should have no issues with this extra distance. Miss Pearl is another to note after her third at this venue last time.
Prediction : 1st One Man Party 2nd Kentford Mallard 3rd Miss Pearl

WESTERN GENERAL produced a career-best effort when romping home at Wincanton last month and the handicapper put him up 10lb for that triumph. Providing the seven-year-old remains in similar form, he may prove difficult to beat. Hypotenus was kindly dropped 2lb after his third at Sandown last month and he would be dangerous to dismiss, while Mackenberg sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Western General 2nd Hypotenus 3rd Mackenberg

SPRINGTIME LEGEND finished 16 lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton in January and that looks the best form on offer. The five-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of performance in order to get off the mark. Lions Peak wasn't disgraced in third on his first start for the Jamie Snowden stable last month and he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Jasmin Bellevue makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Springtime Legend 2nd Lions Peak 3rd Jasmin Bellevue

LYLE VIEW justified favouritism when opening her account in ready fashion at Southwell last month. Although a 9lb rise demands more from Neil Mulholland's mare, there is likely more to come on just her fourth outing in handicap company. Diamond Days arrives on the back of a second-placed handicap debut at Lingfield and the five-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Tracking Treasure.
Prediction : 1st Lyle View 2nd Diamond Days 3rd Tracking Treasure

A switch to more forceful tactics saw How And Ever breaking his duck over fences in a class 5 event at Southwell 19 days ago and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, this rise in class may require improvement from the seven-year-old and YES DAY makes most appeal. The son of Court Cave finished a respectable third at Market Rasen last month and the addition of Benjamin Macey's 7lb claim could prove fruitful. C&D winner Langley Hundred is also forecast to feature.
Prediction : 1st Yes Day 2nd How And Ever 3rd Langley Hundred

GREATNESS AWAITS returned to winning ways over 2m at Ludlow recently and a 2lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Time Interval also scored on his latest outing over hurdles, albeit in May last year, and he should not be discounted. The rest all have plenty to prove, but For You Buzz could progress on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Greatness Awaits 2nd Time Interval 3rd For You Buzz

GAELIC SAINT displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her debut at Wincanton in January and Tom Symonds' filly could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Broadway Honey is a half-sister to Broadway Boy and has to be noted on her racecourse bow, while Dream County and Uptown Lass are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Gaelic Saint 2nd Broadway Honey 3rd Dream County
