Next Twist and Triple Crown Ted both arrive on the back of comprehensive wins and are entitled to respect under their penalties, but the vote goes to BRAS D'OR. David Pipe's charge made a pleasing start to life over hurdles at Cheltenham and was far from disgraced in behind the now 130-rated Un Sens A La Vie at Ludlow next time. With less on his plate, he can shed the maiden tag. Kilnesare Flight is well worth a second look too.
This looks a match race between Next Twist and BRAS D'OR. The former outclassed his rivals in decisive fashion last time and his bumper form suggests this easier ground will suit. However he may struggle to give weight to the latter who sets the standard on ratings on his debut effort which has been franked at Listed level. He came clear of the remainder behind a more experienced rival last time and a repeat of that may be enough here. Kilnesare Flight probably hit the front too soon when runner up on his sole bumper start and likely has more to offer in this discipline. He can fill the places on his debut.

DREAM SHADOW bumped into a subsequent Listed winner on her hurdling debut before duly obliging at Warwick. The seven-year-old should have plenty more to offer and has been found an excellent opportunity to double up. Tom Broughton gets on well with dual hurdles winner Just Her Type and she cannot be discounted, while Lets Mingle is expected to give her running.
PARK PRINCESS was a winner last weekend and will be tough to beat if turned out quickly. She was only narrowly denied previously at Listed level and sets a clear standard on form. Another last time out winner Dream Shadow looks the biggest danger. Her debut form has been franked at Listed level and she outclassed her rivals in a weak contest last time. Roses All The Way was behind the selection last time but she showed significant improvement that day following a wind op. She's entitled to progress again and can fill the podium here.
Improved up in trip and down in grade when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective over 3m and unexposed at staying trips, with scope to progress further.
A winner at 9-1 in a hurdle race over this course and distance (heavy) on his latest outing in December last year, beating Shoeshine Boy by 3 1/2l.

A confident vote goes to KELVIN FORLONGE, who made a mockery of his opening mark to score over C&D at the start of December. He was raised 6lb for that performance, but conditions might not be too dissimilar here. He's completely unexposed at this sort of trip and is expected to take another step forward. Irish raider Gather Yourself merits the utmost respect in the hands of Sean Bowen, while Shoeshine Boy wouldn't be without a chance if putting a recent fall behind him.
C&D winner BETTER BE DEFINITE caught the eye on his return from more than a year off last time. He was unsuited by the drop in trip that day but finished well under tender handling and he has now dropped below his last winning mark. Piaff Bubbles stopped quickly last time but he had proven consistent previously and handles testing ground. He can fight for a place with Holly Bird who has been steadily progressing as his trip increases. His best efforts have come here and he could improve again for this extra distance.
Made mistakes but was untested as a sole rival fell when winning a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter by a length last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles soft ground. Should improve further over fences and remains a leading threat.
Winner of three hurdle races, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 1-6fav at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (heavy) in December last year, beating UNKNOWN.

An interesting clash between FINGLE BRIDGE and Meetmebythesea, with preference for the former. Olly Murphy's gelding was unbeaten over hurdles, with a Listed success at Exeter the highlight, especially given how the form has worked out. He returned to the same venue for his chasing bow when second to Lulamba before being left alone in a match at Uttoxeter and this appeals as a decent opportunity to continue his progression. Meetmebythesea was also a useful hurdler who scored on his chasing debut at Wetherby, while Big John Wayne looks the pick of the remainder.
A strong contest where most can be given a chance. Preference is for MEETMEBYTHESEA who was a touch unlucky not to be unbeaten over hurdles and showed a willing attitude when off the mark at the first time of asking over fences. The runner up that day has boosted the form at a higher level and he should relish this slightly longer trip so can defeat Fingle Bridge. The Listed hurdles winner sets the standard on his form in that discipline but he was untested on his last chase run as his sole rival fell. He will need to brush up on his jumping but if doing so he can chase the selection home ahead of Dedicated Hero who failed to stay 2 1/2m over hurdles last time but was consistent over 2m in that sphere.
Won by 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Catterick on his penultimate start. Had no obvious excuse when seventh, beaten 32l, off 99 last time. Now 1lb lower; effective around 3m on a sound surface, form inconsistent but mark looks workable.

Torosay is better judged on her C&D second rather than her subsequent Carlisle disappointment and the handicapper has aided her cause by dropping her 3lb. Jirko was no match for an easy winner here at the beginning of last month and remains capable of better, but the vote goes to chasing debutant BIG ZOUK. Nicky Richards' gelding won a point-to-point in February 2024 and the switch to fences can bring about the improvement required.
Point winner BIG ZOUK proved his stamina for 3m when placed over hurdles last time and can make a winning chase debut if building on that. The form of that race has been franked by the winner and he gets to race off an unchanged mark here. Jirko has been in excellent form since a move to fences and is 1lb lower than when placing over C&D last time. With the attritional conditions no issue he looks the biggest threat ahead of the inconsistent Torosay who has had some jumping issues but looks well treated on her penultimate run over C&D.
Outpaced and unsuited by how the race developed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time; effective over 2m and suited by plenty of cut; running back into form and needs a stiff test.
Winner of six hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from soft to heavy. Finished 12l behind Chase A Fortune when fifth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Wetherby over 2m (soft) in December last year.

A switch to more positive tactics saw HE'S BRESILIAN make all in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle. The six-year-old returns to handicap company off what looks a fair mark and a similar approach may see him follow up. Tread Softly Now arrives on the back of a close-up second at Kelso and is feared most, for all that a 4lb higher rating demands more. Dance Thief could also feature after an encouraging fifth-placed reappearance over C&D.
The consistent HE'S BRESILIAN was poor on his sole handicap start to date but he looks on a generous mark after his latest maiden win and is fancied to follow up. Course specialist Dance Thief is feared most as he's proven on testing ground and has dropped below his last winning chase mark. Top weight Thereisnodoubt is also respected as he has won off much higher marks in the past though his run style requires a stiff test at the the trip.
Made a very promising debut when winning an Amateurs' bumper here by 3 1/4l last time. Off a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground. Debut form has taken a few knocks but could progress.

Having had something in hand when making a successful Rules bow over track and trip, COCONUT MAN may prove tough to crack. Reopposing runner-up Kingsman Mail is entitled to improve for that experience and should give another good account, although a bigger danger may emerge in the shape of winning pointer Mcelhattan. Donald McCain has his string in good order and market support for his Yeats gelding would be interesting.
Coconut Man got the better of KINGSMAN MAIL over C&D first time out so is respected but he may struggle to confirm that form on these revised terms. The selection conceded first run that day and is likely to do much better if ridden more positively. The main dangers may come from rules debutants Diamant Dore and Mcelhattan. The latter was successful in points and the former may also have won in that discipline if not for falling late.
