Ammes looked a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring by five lengths at Sedgefield and he could go on from there, but he has to give 7lb to Lunar Orbit and it is interesting that connections of the runner-up are happy to take him on once more. Both can get involved with clear rounds, but a chance is taken on TREASURE PLANET. Second in a Tipperary maiden on the Flat, he is sure to have been well-schooled by Paul Nicholls and could make a winning debut.
AMMES has had a fantastic year so far, including winning a Novice here on the flat. He made his hurdles debut last time out when winning emphatically and this looks another big opportunity despite the penalty. Lunar Orbit was in behind the pick that day and could chase him home again, but he does get a 7lb swing on that rival which can only help his cause. Treasure Planet makes his hurdles debut after an impressive pair of efforts on the flat, he's bred for further than the 1m4f and could have more to offer from a top yard who have won this race in two of the last five renewals.

My Friend Sean has won five of his last six starts over hurdles and if he takes to fences he should go well, though a mark of 122 could see him forced to settle for a place. THE KEMBLE BREWERY has had wind surgery since pulling up in the EBF Final at Sandown but has the build and the pedigree to surpass his hurdling exploits over the larger obstacles and he could be the one. In The Air has experience on his side and is another to consider.
MY FRIEND SEAN has been progressive this term winning five of his last six starts (including over CD) and judging by his latest win doesn't seem as though he's about to stop despite another 7lb rise in the weights. He has some competition in behind with In The Air though, he is two from his last four, although didn't challenge last time out can bounce back eased back in trip. All The Glory is not without a chance on her reappearance, but will likely need the run.
Unseated early in the Kerry National (Grade 3) at Listowel last time; had been in good form in British handicaps beforehand. Suited by 2 1/2m and a sound surface, though his stamina could be tested over this trip.

Gyenyame is a consistent sort with a top-three finish on his last four starts and has a chance on his first start since March if he irons out his jumping errors. Ask Brewster has been upped 9lb after winning at Cheltenham in April and needs to improve again, and this may got to NEON MOON. He won this last year off 2lb higher when staying on well and is handicapped to go close once more.
DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time but he was in good form prior and he goes well here, he is back from a break but goes well fresh illustrated by his win here when back from a break last year. Ile De Jersey is in top order having won three of her last five starts, and run well in the other two, she handled the step up in trip last time out when winning at Warwick so could go close again here. Gyenyame has appreciated the step up in trip last twice so enters calculations.

This can go the way of the relatively unexposed ROYAL INFANTRY, who was thought good enough to contest a Grade 1 at Aintree in April before a respectable second in Listed company at Perth. A mark of 136 on his handicap debut could prove lenient and he is preferred to stablemate Joyeux Machin, who was last seen finishing a narrow runner-up in a valuable handicap at Uttoxeter in March. Last-time-out scorers Idy Wood and Thanksforthehelp are others to consider.
KNAPPERS HILL won when last seen but that was almost two years ago, he has a decent mark to work from but does have to prove retained abiity after so long off the track. After winning this race in 2022 did go on a fantastic run winning some Grade 2's so anywhere near that level would go close. Josh The Boss is another former winner of this race when winning last year off a 3lb lower mark, he has had awind-op since last seen but won that race back from a break and will have to do the same here. King Of The Lake can challenge Greyval for the places.

CLOTILDA was narrowly denied at Cheltenham in April and Paul Nicholls' filly could have the potential to improve further. She is likely to have too much for Gibbs Island, who was outclassed the last twice in Grade 1 company, but had looked a decent prospect before that. An easy winner over further at Bangor last month, Intosomethinggood must be of interest, as well as Moutarde.
HOPE RISING has progressed well this term and consistently thereabouts with form of 121212, his last effort in behind another in form rival and her mark remains unchanged so is well fancied off bottom weight to run a big race again. Aviemore is 2/4 over hurdles and will come on for his flat effort last month, he will look to get back to form after being outclassed at Aintree last time out. Intosomethinggood won very well indeed last time out, he is three from his last four and should make this interesting in a competitive race.
Suited by positive tactics, he improved from his debut when landing a handicap chase by 4 1/2l off a mark of 108 at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft and good ground; wears bandages and has been lightly raced, suggesting he may be hard to keep sound.

THISTLE ASK was having only his second outing over fences when landing a higher grade chase at Musselburgh back in February. He's subsequently switched to Dan Skelton's in-form yard and further improvement looks on the cards. Progressive over hurdles, American Land has to be of interest off his current mark back over the larger obstacles, while No But I Will and Lightning Flash are more recent winners worthy of a second look.
Lightning Flash makes his chase debut after winning over hurdles last time when upped in trip, he's back in trip here but does have form over 2m, including here so ought to be in the mix if taking to fences. American Land has won five of his last six so arrives in top order, he has only had one start over fences and had something amiss that day so given another chance and is in fine form. IDEALLKO looks the best chance here though, he backed up a treble with a treble of second places, including over CD last twice and gets the nod to go one better here.
Below form when outclassed and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Warwick last time. Has a chance based on his 5l fourth here in February over the same trip on soft ground, but remains a very risky proposition.
Has won seven hurdle races, a chase and four point-to-points from 2m 7f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Well beaten at 20-1 when last of 6 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Warwick over 3m 1f (good) in April.

Well backed but out of form and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Suited by 3m with plenty of give over fences but hard to fancy at present.

Made mistakes when second, beaten 19l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Wetherby last time. Showed promise in a maiden before that and remains unexposed, though still has a fair bit to prove.

Had every chance but was below form and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Previously scored by 1 1/2l off 98 and stays 3m, acts on good to soft and good ground; fairly treated.

Produced a poor effort when fourth, beaten 30l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Southwell last time. Showed only minor promise in earlier maiden hurdles and looks to need further than 2m.

It could pay to stick with last month's Sedgefield winner PADDY DE POLE. Paul Nicholls' charge beat a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion and can defy a rise in the weights on the strength of that form. Theatre Of Flight has a 10lb hike to contend with having returned the easy winner at Worcester, so Tranquil Sea may prove a bigger danger on only his second start for Dan Skelton.
THEATRE OF FLIGHT won well last time out and can follow up here despite a hefty 10lb rise in the weights, that was a comfortable win though when upped in trip so ought to have more to offer now. Marlacoo is back from a wind-op and a break, he showed some decent form last term though and is interesting on his seasonal reappearance. Shared won when last seen and another coming back from a break, he can make up the places.
