Having made a winning hurdling bow at Bangor, Orderoftheday is likely to be in the thick of the action once more. Olly Murphy's charge isn't taken lightly, but ROI DU RISK could prove a tough nut to crack in receipt of 6lb. The four-year-old posted a good second on his first attempt over timber at Fontwell and a repeat may prove sufficient. Bardenas may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Roi Du Risk 2nd Orderoftheday 3rd Bardenas

MOOR END got off to a flying start over fences when winning at Uttoxeter in October and the Kingston Hill gelding ran well off his current mark last time out with a three-length third at Lingfield. Track, trip and going look ideal, though he won't have things all his own way. Dj Pete has placed twice this season, sandwiching an early fall at Bangor, and he clearly has the ability, while Kapamazov is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Moor End 2nd Dj Pete 3rd Kapamazov

Point-to-point winner BORNA GEM is an unknown quantity over hurdles but she won't need to be anything special to take this against largely out of form opponents. Casa Loupi is officially rated the best horse in the field by some margin but he was last of nine at Windsor last month and needs to get back to form, while Carpe Diem runs over hurdles for the first time since December last year and is interesting.
Prediction : 1st Borna Gem 2nd Casa Loupi 3rd Carpe Diem

Pep Talking made all at Wetherby in November and had his excuses before pulling up last time out at Wincanton. If he is over his problems he can go well off the same mark, but SUN ART intrigues on his first start over fences. Related to winning chasers in France, he won over hurdles back in March but might be far better suited by the larger obstacles. Two To Tango is noted as well.
Prediction : 1st Sun Art 2nd Pep Talking 3rd Two To Tango

JHENTONG ENKI came good on the soft going at Lingfield on only his second start for Ben Pauling's yard. He landed a conditional jockeys' race with plenty left in the tank and will likely prove a warm order in this, given he escapes a penalty. Maiden hurdle winner Dinofromberlais placed in a higher grade handicap here last month. He merits serious consideration, while Olivia Kate could also shape well.
Prediction : 1st Jhentong Enki 2nd Dinofromberlais 3rd Olivia Kate

A bumper and hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls last year, THE BLUESMAN made a winning start over fences at Southwell on his debut for Olly Murphy's yard. The six-year-old should have plenty more to offer in this discipline and is taken to edge out Hecouldbetheone. The latter disappointed at Doncaster last time, but could feature given his previous form was encouraging, while Moonshine Man and Miralago are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Bluesman 2nd Hecouldbetheone 3rd Moonshine Man

15:32 Leicester

GENTLEMAN TOBOOT has won both starts in novice hurdles. David Pipe's charge followed his initial success at Newton Abbot with a comfortable victory at Exeter and could prove better than his opening mark now handicapping. Double Oban came out second best in a scrap to the line at Wetherby last time. He could give the selection the most to think about and confirm latest running with Justus.
Prediction : 1st Gentleman Toboot 2nd Double Oban 3rd Justus
