The hurdling experience held by POWER OF WORDS is the most persuasive guide and Gordon Elliott's raider is suggested as the one to be with despite him running green at Clonmel last month. Western Clouds should not be underestimated following her fourth at Worcester a few weeks ago, while Bishop Hill and Redbridge Rocco are others who make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Power Of Words 2nd Western Clouds 3rd Bishop Hill

WINDS OF WINTER backed up her selling handicap win on her final start for Iain Jardine with an impressive 11-length success at Hexham on debut for George Bewley last month. Those efforts read very well and the hat-trick looks achievable despite an 11lb higher rating. Just Dottie can make this a tougher assignment for the selection, while previous C&D winner Simple Star is a threat to all on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Winds Of Winter 2nd Just Dottie 3rd Simple Star

NO BUT I WILL was only beaten a head at Uttoxeter last month and won't need to raise his game by much to swing this one his way. Glen Cannel boasts some good course form and is another key player based on those credentials, while Nathan Wells surely has the ability to win at some point and he could also have a big say.
Prediction : 1st No But I Will 2nd Glen Cannel 3rd Nathan Wells

Having bounced back to form with a dominant display at Uttoxeter recently, RABY MERE is likely to prove a warm order to follow up. A 7lb rise from the assessor looks workable for the six-year-old and another bold bid is forecast. Quadruple course winner Malangen wasn't disgraced when third at Hexham recently and isn't taken lightly off a tumbling mark. Lisa Harrison's gelding is feared most, while market support for stable-debutant Palm Beach would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Raby Mere 2nd Malangen 3rd Palm Beach

Although she found her winning run coming to an end when third at Stratford in May, Summerleaze must enter the reckoning on her chase bow. Olly Murphy's mare boasts a point-to-point background and could improve for this discipline. However, BUMPY EVANS arrives on the back of a career-best performance at Bangor and should have more to come over staying distances. Ballydangan and Wheresmemoneygone are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Bumpy Evans 2nd Summerleaze 3rd Ballydangan

LUMINARIES relished a step up in distance when regaining the winning thread over an extended 3m at Kelso in May and there could be more to come from him. The son of Leading Light looks fairly treated off 3lb higher and shades the verdict in a tight-knit contest. Dangers are aplenty, headed by the recent Hexham third Man Of Action, who is 2lb ahead of the handicapper, while Maillot Blanc warrants respect on his follow-up bid.
Prediction : 1st Luminaries 2nd Man Of Action 3rd Maillot Blanc
