Comment: Bought for £70,000 winning an Irish point; posted similar RPRs in his two bumpers, finishing third at Plumpton (good to soft) and then winning by 11l at Newcastle (good; odds of 1-4); looking a nice prospect.

Comment: Irish point winner who has made a bright start under rules in bumpers; his experience was a help when beating a newcomer at Hereford (good; probably fine on soft) and the second impressed next time; nice prospect for hurdling.

4/1

Comment: Signed off for Gavin Cromwell on a low note but had useful form in Ireland in a bumper and maiden hurdles; overturned at even-money on last month's debut for Martin Keighley here but he was conceding plenty of weight to a useful winner; that was over nearly 3m but his Irish form was at about this trip; won't mind rain.

Comment: Thereabouts in two bumpers and a 4yo hurdle in France, all on slow ground; there's substance to his form (the third last time has since won over fences for notable connections) and this gelding will probably do very well for the Skeltons.

Comment: Never got involved when 20-1 for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but easily won a Listed race there earlier last season and should develop into a smart hurdler; the one concern would be that he can be gassy and this is his first run for a while.

Ignore The Door

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Harry Derham Age/Wt: 5/11-3

Comment: Took four goes to win an Irish point but did so by 3l at Monksgrange in March (yielding to soft); now with Harry Derham who fits a tongue-tie; likely contender.

Comment: Hit the ground running in novice hurdles with two easy wins before giving the classy Potters Charm much to think about in a Grade 1 at Aintree over Christmas (2m1f, soft; Country Mile below par further back); caught Tripoli Flyer on a good day when again second in a Grade 2 at Kempton and when favourite for the Mersey at Aintree he appeared to get lit up after a messy start; had wind surgery ahead of this chase debut.

Comment: Dual Flat winner and a very useful hurdler who, after wind surgery, was first and second in strong handicaps before going off too fast at Aintree in April; not bred for fences but too talented to dismiss; fine on all ground.

Comment: Bumper winner whose only defeats over hurdles came in Grade races, latterly at the top level at Aintree on Boxing Day; never gave his true running there but had looked a very smart prospect beforehand, especially at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft); brings lots of potential into chase career.

6/4

Comment: 2-4 for this yard and won easily when strong in the market over C&D recently, beating Northern Rose with others in here well behind; up 8lb but a greater worry would be his lack of form on soft ground (handles good to soft).

Comment: Second on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good) and let down by his jumping next time; ability is there to feature should he sharpen up for cheekpieces and Sean Bowen is booked.

15/2

Comment: AW winner in Ireland and won by 5l at Bangor to get off the mark as a hurdler (2m, good); has gone up 8lb and would have much to prove on slower ground.

15/2

Comment: Only had three runs for this yard and keeps finishing closer, last time beaten under 4l at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft); the drop in trip might not matter too much given the likely conditions; respected.

9/1

Comment: May appreciate further in time but ran well enough in a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell last time (March) to merit a second look on this handicap debut; should be fine on soft ground.

12/1

Comment: Respectable efforts over hurdles before faring less well on the Flat, since when he's had wind surgery; soft ground wouldn't be ideal.

Northern Rose

Jockey: Jack Hogan Trainer: G Hanmer Age/Wt: 5/10-5 F: 294P82 OR: 77

1 tip

Comment: Longstanding maiden but off this career-low mark she was a 7l second to Diesel Line over C&D (good) 19 days ago with the cheekpieces added; may cope with softer ground given one piece of form she has.
