WALKS LIKE THE MAN won over C&D in February but was unable to follow up at Sandown next time, having been sent off as favourite. The seven-year-old is expected to bounce back eased in class, although recent Hereford scorer The Dream Goes On switches her attentions to fences for the first time and may well provide strong resistance. Brother Boris can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Walks Like The Man 2nd The Dream Goes On 3rd Brother Boris

Eliza Dolittle hasn't been able to build on December's C&D triumph, but she is just 1lb above that winning mark now and must be respected in a race of this nature. A chance can be taken on MELLERAY HILL, who might not have shown a great deal in novice/maiden company but it would come as no surprise were she to step forward now sent handicapping. Time For Tea is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Melleray Hill 2nd Eliza Dolittle 3rd Time For Tea

Anthony Honeyball and Rex Dingle have been amongst the winners lately and Public Enemy, who shaped with promise on his UK/stable debut in February, must feature prominently in calculations. Wild Goose has shown ability in a couple of bumpers but it is GOD OF FIRE who shades preference. Officially rated 85 on the level, he will be difficult to beat if taking to this new discipline. He's a half-brother to a hurdles winner.
Prediction : 1st God Of Fire 2nd Public Enemy 3rd Wild Goose

DESPEREAUX found only a subsequent winner too strong over C&D last month and compensation could be on the cards. A 3lb higher mark looks fair for Jane Williams' six-year-old and he can confirm his superiority over the reopposing third Warranty. The Authorized gelding isn't taken lightly on 4lb better terms with the selection, while Shared isn't easily dismissed in this heat either.
Prediction : 1st Despereaux 2nd Warranty 3rd Shared

Having finished second at Sedgefield on Thursday, Tara Iti must enter calculations racing off an unchanged mark. However, those exertions may have left their mark and preference is for ARENAS DEL TIEMPO. The daughter of Footstepsinthesand offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Fakenham last month and she's open to improvement on just her fifth appearance in this sphere. Hardy Buck is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Arenas Del Tiempo 2nd Tara Iti 3rd Hardy Buck

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from AJ'S DIAMOND's debut second at Warwick 44 days ago and she sets a good standard. Nicky Henderson has a fine record with his bumper horses at this venue (5-13), so Rules debutant Girlfromtheglen merits respect. Jack N Jones is well bred and the six-year-old warrants a check in the market for a shrewd yard.
Prediction : 1st Ajs Diamond 2nd Girlfromtheglen 3rd Jack N Jones
