Kdeux Saint Fray was well held in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January, but should put up a bold showing in this company. However, the maiden hurdle he won at Catterick hasn't worked out and he's taken on with returning C&D winner THE BLUESMAN. Open to any amount of improvement on his second start after wind surgery, the Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old, who also won a bumper here last April, is a most appealing novice to be competing at this time of year. Lieutenant Mayne completes the shortlist.
THE BLUESMAN has already won a bumper and hurdle at this venue and is taken to continue his excellent course record. The form of his debut hurdles victory has been boosted by the placed horses since and a recplication of that would make him tough to beat. Impressive debut winner Lieutenant Mayne has had the ground against him since including when heavily watered last time and could bounce back here. Along with Kduex Saint Fray who was outclassed at Graded level last time he can make sure the selection doesn't get things all his own way.

Ghost Hunter was a well-backed favourite for his stable debut, but didn't convince with his jumping before running out. He is surely better than that and can figure if the added tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination combats any lingering fizz. Nevertheless, four-time course winner GATS AND CO, who is still on a handy mark, looks more reliable and should have no issues cutting back in trip after his success over an extended 3m6f here. Musical Slave and Isle Of Gold are other notable options.
GHOST HUNTER was well backed and travelling powerfully when running out on reappearance and is expected to make amends here. He had shown a consistent level of form over hurdles previously that makes a mark of 105 look generous. Mythe Bridge took a big step forwards on chase debut coming clear with a progressive rival who followed up and he looks the main danger. Veteran Musical Slave has returned to form this spring and is worth forgiving his latest run which came too soon. He can compete for a place off his current rating.

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has won three of her four starts since undergoing her second lot of wind surgery and has a good chance of gaining further success, despite a 5lb rise after making all at Exeter earlier this month. Palacio returned from a short break with a respectable second to an odds-on shot at Ffos Las and might have to settle for a similar role. Ukantango gets weight all round and that factor may help him emerge as the best of the rest.
A tight contest which could allow SEEYOUINMYDREAMS to improve again on his already impressive strike rate. He was given a fine ride from the front last time and though he faces competition here a 5lb rise looks lenient given the runner up won next time. Helnwein was far from disgraced in a much better race at Aintree last tie where his stamina gave way late. He looks the biggest danger back over his optimum distance while veteran Glory And Fortune can't be dismissed off a much reduced mark for all he has enthusiasm concerns nowadays.

Doyouknowwhatimean makes a quick reappearance following his C&D victory on Monday in the hope he can assist Dan Skelton's bid to become champion trainer. However, the 7lb penalty might prove too much to handle and BALLYBREEZE appears to have a strong opportunity to follow up a recent Newbury success. The combination of a drop in trip and application of cheekpieces looks to be in the favour of Bowmore.
On paper this looks a match race between last time out winners Doyouknowwhatimean and BALLYBREEZE. The former showed a willing attitude here last time and proved his ability on quick ground so isn't dismissed but may struggle to beat the better treated selection who has been running back into form following a lay off. He still looks thrown in (especially on his old Graded novice form), despite a 5lb rise for a cosy win last time and is expected to follow up
Fell in a novice hurdle here latest when beaten; off a short-break; hard to recommend

COURAGEOUS STRIKE finished second on his first attempt over timber at Ffos Las when racing too keenly and the drop from 2m4f gives him an excellent opportunity to open his account. Almeirinda is an interesting contender making her UK debut for Venetia Williams after nearly 700 days off the track, while Wild Goose might be a threat if settling better than he did at Plumpton.
Progressive 12f flat winner COURAGEOUS STRIKE was thought well enough to contest the Irish Leger Trial last year and is likely to outclass these rivals. He was outstayed over further by a more experienced rival on hurdle debut but can make amends down in trip here. Smile Back was a point and bumper winner before being given far too much to do on hurdle debut. She looks the sole danger if ridden more positively down in trip.

| BF Was beaten favourite last time out | |||||
The booking of Harry Cobden for AMANCIO looks particularly notable given the fact Paul Nicholls saddles a runner in the shape of Roadshow. The selection was runner-up at Newbury last time and has since switched yards to join Faye Bramley. Roadshow needs to improve from a disappointing hurdling bow at Wincanton and the biggest threat might prove to be King Of Records, who reached the frame at Ludlow in February.
ROADSHOW was heavily backed and ultimately too bad to be true on debut but is taken to leave that form behind him. The quick ground is a concern but he showed an extremely high level of form in France including at Listed level which would make him tough to beat if seeing out the distance. King Of Records was also highly tried on the level in France and has been progressing under negative rides over hurdles. He holds every chance along with Amancio who showed improved form last time and likely has more to offer judged on his flat efforts.

REVELS HILL recorded some smart form when under the tutelage of Harry Fry and he could take some stopping in these calmer waters. A fourth-placed spin between the flags 41 days ago should have put the 10-year-old spot-on for this and he is preferred to Dalamoi, who has racked up a hat-trick in point-to-points in recent months and warrants respect now back racing under Rules. C&D winner Pink Eyed Pedro is also noted.
REVELS HILL hasn't been seen under rules for a couple of years but he was formerly a very useful staying chaser and could outclass these rivals if fit and ready to go. Dalamoi has been thriving in points of late and rates the biggest danger on his rules return while recent point winner Pink Eyed Pedro isn't dismissed either with the drying ground in his favour.

SWEET MAGIC appeared close to her best when finishing a never-nearer second over 2m3f at Warwick in February. The Alastair Ralph-trained seven-year-old looks ready for another tilt at this sort of distance and she's preferred to All Inn Hand, who arrives on the back of a runner-up effort over C&D and competes off an unchanged mark. Dancingontheedge is the pick of the remainder.
A tight finale which could go to ALL IN HAND who showed much improved form over C&D last time. Though she was flattered by her proximity to the well handicapped winner she did pull clear of the remainder that day and the first time cheekpieces could deliver more. The biggest dangers look to be the Nicholls pair Florenceandthemachine and Dancingontheedge. The former was well held last time but that form has since been boosted in a strong Saturday handicap while the latter is first string on the jockey bookings and has shown a consistent level of form over hurdles and fences.
