ABINGWORTH benefited from the misfortune of a faller when he landed a similar race at Warwick last month. Having won in a facile manner at Wincanton on his previous start, Gary and Josh Moore's seven-year-old is on a roll and a 2lb higher rating is manageable for the hat-trick bid. God's Own Getaway and Full Monty are logical options to fight it out for second place.
Prediction : 1st Abingworth 2nd Gods Own Getaway 3rd Full Monty

The dependable JET OF DREAMS is likely to be tough to deal with as he bids for back-to-back victories after a hard-fought success at Chepstow last month. A 4lb higher mark looks fair and, reunited with James Bowen, there is plenty to like. Doyouknowwhatimean was only beaten by a neck in what turned out to be something of a match race most recently and is an obvious danger to the selection running off the same mark. Jolyjump and Salamanca Bay also command respect.
Prediction : 1st Jet Of Dreams 2nd Doyouknowwhatimean 3rd Jolyjump

Several of these appeal on paper, not least RECKLESS SPENDING, who was purchased for 200,000 pounds after he filled the runner-up spot in his only start in an Irish point-to-point. The son of Sholokhov is an attractive proposition starting out under Rules for Nicky Henderson. However, this is unlikely to be plain sailing for the selection, with the likes of Madajovy, Captain Hugo and Hans Lippershey all holding bumper experience, while Stung By Tariffs is an appealing newcomer to also monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Reckless Spending 2nd Madajovy 3rd Captain Hugo

ICE IN THE VEINS caught the eye when making a promising start to his career at Warwick last month and it would be no surprise to see Dan Skelton's gelding go one better with that outing under his belt. Coastal Command comes from a family his trainer knows extremely well and the son of Scorpion is likely to enter calculations along with Lyrical Choice.
Prediction : 1st Ice In The Veins 2nd Coastal Command 3rd Lyrical Choice

JENA D'OUDAIRIES got off the mark at Chepstow on her penultimate outing before not being disgraced in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham. This appears to be a much simpler task for Paul Nicholls' mare, who is taken to defy a 7lb penalty. Hard Dealt stepped forward from her hurdling debut when finishing second at Chepstow in March and the manner of that performance suggested a step up in trip would likely benefit her. Others to note are Brooklyn Callin and Mistletoe.
Prediction : 1st Jena Doudairies 2nd Hard Dealt 3rd Brooklyn Callin

SIREKOFF was headed near the finish in a novices' handicap at Bangor last month and looks worth another chance with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination added. Assuming the headgear has the desired impact, David Pipe's gelding could be hard to handle. Thankyourluckystar and Alexandra Larose can chase him home, although Kiss My Face and Keppel Queen should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Sirekoff 2nd Thirtyfour Thirty 3rd Alexandra Larose

BROOMFIELD GALE won a similarly weak race at Stratford last week and has to be of interest turned out under a 7lb penalty. However, her temperament can sometimes get the better of her and, having run out, pulled up and refused to race on her three previous starts, she is not without risk. Fellow last-time out winner The Wire Flyer could capitalise if the selection boils over again, while Getaway With You and Les's Jersey Royal also command respect.
Prediction : 1st Broomfield Gale 2nd The Wire Flyer 3rd Getaway With You

Ivane has looked a shade high in the ratings since scoring at Southwell in March. He could still have a say in the outcome, but OUR LIL makes most appeal. The four-year-old maiden hurdle winner was set a stiff task at Cheltenham on her handicap debut, but this could prove more her level and Dan Skelton's inmate gets the vote. Wincanton winner Basman Palace returns to this shorter trip with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Our Lil 2nd Ivane 3rd Basman Palace
