With Aamilah Aswat looking excellent value for her 10lb claim when she guided GUCHEN to victory at Kempton earlier in the month, there are solid reasons to expect another bold showing from the partnership. The six-year-old has reportedly had a wind problem addressed and he could have plenty for to offer. Karma Police and Activist are others to consider after improved recent efforts, while El Curamach debuts in a handicap on a workable mark and warrants a betting check despite resuming from a lengthy absence.
Prediction : 1st Guchen 2nd Karma Police 3rd Activist

Gary & Josh Moore won last year's corresponding race with a similar type to LOVE YOU BACK. Having raced keenly on his hurdles debut at Warwick when last seen, a more accomplished performance can be expected from the Moores' representative this time. Ettore was a modest performer on the Flat but is in the right hands to make progress now he has switched codes, although Innamorato has more experience and is likely to be a bigger danger if he copes with a 6lb penalty for his win at Taunton.
Prediction : 1st Love You Back 2nd Innamorato 3rd Ettore

MIAMI MAGIC and Wyenot are the pair to focus on going by the official ratings. The former sets a good standard and should find this a lot easier than the Grade 1 Scilly Isles he contested at Sandown 27 days ago. Stepping up in trip is a slight concern about the Stuart Edmunds-trained gelding but he otherwise appears to hold all the aces. Wyenot has more proven stamina and is noteworthy on her first start after wind surgery. Thank You Ma'am shades preference over Elysian Knight as third choice.
Prediction : 1st Miami Magic 2nd Wyenot 3rd Thank You Maam

Paul Nicholls' yard has won three of the last five renewals and TALK TO THE MAN arrives with strong claims. The latter beat a previous winner with the rest nowhere when scoring easily at Taunton on his hurdling bow and that taking display suggests the son of Walk In The Park can shrug off a penalty. Irish challenger The Big Clubman has faced a couple of stiff tasks since winning a maiden at Wexford and will likely make his presence felt, while Big Bert is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Talk To The Man 2nd The Big Clubman 3rd Big Bert

Daytime Dreaming makes most appeal of the recent winners having scored convincingly at Southwell last time. Hardy Du Seuil bounced back with a better effort at Carlisle and is preferred to last year's winner Rath Gaul Hill, but another chance goes the way of KOTMASK. The latter fell in a tougher contest at Sandown last month, but his second at the same track prior to that tumble reads well in this context, so Gary and Josh Moore's charge gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Kotmask 2nd Daytime Dreaming 3rd Hardy Du Seuil

BENIGN DICTATOR is a proven stayer having won over 3m2f at Warwick in December. Upped in class when fourth at Huntingdon last time, the nine-year-old remains of interest at this level with Sean Bowen taking over the reins. The leading rider also steered Jalisco Star to victory at Chepstow a fortnight ago and she could feature again raised only 3lb, while Fierce Warrior may well bounce back from a disappointing effort here in December and is preferred to Kruger Park.
Prediction : 1st Benign Dictator 2nd Jalisco Star 3rd Fierce Warrior
