Lusso Milan has yet to get her head in front, but it's not for the want of trying and she can make her presence felt. Castle Quarter was far from disgraced at Wincanton on Boxing Day and he could find a little more in the newly-applied tongue-tie, but a chance is taken on LORD OF THE GLANCE. Alex Hales' charge showed precious little in novice events, but his opening mark reflects that and this is only a moderate handicap.
The mare LUSSO MILAN has built up a consisent profile, finishing either second or third on each of her last four outings, including one here, and looks the percentage call in a weak race. The top weight Belcamo may emerge as the main danger, albeit he needs the drop in grade to help. Castle Quarter is respected also, coming off a good third at Wincanton and with a new headgear combination tried.
Returned to form suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 3m on a sound surface; can go well again.
Winner of five hurdle races from 2m 7f to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to soft. A winner at 15-2 in a hurdle race at Huntingdon over 3m 1f (good to soft) on his latest outing in November last year, beating Ebselysees by 1 1/2l.

Lelantos returned to form with a victory at Huntingdon and given that his only previous visit to this track resulted in a C&D success, there should be optimism of a similar outcome. That being said, CASTANEA BREEZE has few miles on the clock and Lucy Wadham often does well here. The six-year-old made a winning handicap bow before finding one too strong at Wetherby and he's open to plenty more improvement so is fancied to go one place better. Getaway With You can chase the pair home.
Lelantos is respected having got his head back in front at Huntingdon last time and he remains well treated on old form but CASTANEA BREEZE might improve past him. The 6yo got off the mark tried in cheekpieces at Market Rasen two starts back and did little wrong off this 5lb higher mark when runner-up at Wetherby last time. His trainer does well at this course and he can take another step forward. Third on the list is Apieceovfortune, who wasn't at her best last time but is considered on her earlier Southwell win.
Improved to defy a penalty when winning a bumper at Catterick by 3l last time. The trainer is in form and he is effective from 2m1f to 2m3f on yielding or good to soft ground. Much more to come for top connections now hurdling.

King Jon Oliver finished a creditable second at Tipperary back in October and looks an interesting recruit for the Olly Murphy yard, but CLAY PIGEONS gets the vote. The six-year-old won a point-to-point before landing a pair of bumpers, the most recent at Catterick, and is likely to appreciate a switch to hurdles. He is Willie Mullins' first ever runner here and is unlikely to go home empty handed. Masked Mistress completes the shortlist.
King Jon Oliver has already twice run well over hurdles in Ireland and looks capable of better still for his new yard but this can go to team Mullins and CLAY PIGEONS. Winner of a point and both starts in bumpers, he brings plenty of promise to hurdles and should prove suited by the trip. Masked Mistress is third on he list, being a dual bumper winner who shaped nicely on her hurdles debut at Plumpton.
Won this last year but was outpaced and outclassed up in grade when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recently. Wears a visor for the first time and is effective from 2m to 2m4f; clearly capable.
Winner of seven hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Nurse Susan when last of 9 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Cheltenham over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year. Has won twice at Huntingdon this season.

APPLES MOON was progressive last season and has continued in that vein of form with victories at Exeter and Wincanton. Nicky Martin's mare has a 5lb rise to contend with, but the manner of her performances suggest there could be more in the locker. Fellow hat-trick seeker Princess Keri went up 7lb after scoring at Ludlow in November, although Ned Fox's 5lb claim negates most of that. She has to be respected along with Looking As You Are, who may have found the ground too lively at Windsor.
It might be best to concentrate on the two hat-trick seekers at the foot of the weights with PRINCESS KERI marginally favoured to Apples Moon. The selection is up in grade, but taking her rider's claim into account receives a good chunk of weight and can make it count. Apples Moon has won four of her last six, will like the ground, and gives the impression there's even more to come, so clearly rates a big threat. Of the others Miss Cynthia could step forward on this second run back/after a wind op.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE stepped forward from her return to action at Windsor when running out a 21-length winner over C&D just before Christmas. If in the same sort of form, the 10-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack. Sainte Doctor won here last February before going on to score twice more, and she ran with huge credit off this mark at Cheltenham in April. Overabottleofred and It's Easy appear best of the remainder.
A 7lb rise asks more of GAZETTE BOURGEOISE but she likes it here, bolting up last time, and looks the percentage call having run with credit when fourth in last year's race. Moviddy, runner-up 12 months ago, has lost her way a little but is weighted to go well if bouncing back, while third on the list Overabottleofred, a winner at Huntingdon last time and still competitively weighted.
Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 19l, in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m to 2m4½f and acts on any ground. Fairly treated and the longer trip should suit if fit.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on ground varying from good to yielding, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 19l behind Orbys River when fourth of 8 at 17-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m 1f (good) in March last year.

Having capitalised on a career-low mark at Southwell, it could be worth keeping FLASH IN THE PARK on side. The eight-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is surmountable and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Little Wren has been disappointing since entering handicap company, but she might find some improvement now debuting over fences. Dan Skelton's mare is feared most, ahead of the returning As Tears Go By.
Little Wren is surely capable of better at some stage for her top yard and perhaps it'll be now she's chasing tried in cheekpieces but FLASH IN THE PARK looks the safer play after his recent Southwell win. He wouldn't want too much rain but a 5lb rise looks workable and he might be capable of better yet. Of the others Annie Nail likes it here and is of some interest returning to fences after a good course second over hurdles latest.
£3,000 Scorpion gelding; half-brother to useful winners Artic Row and Artic Mann; looks to have found a warm enough race for the track on debut.
Half-brother to Artic Row, won three times in chases at 2m 4f and over hurdles at 2m.

Representing Willie Mullins, LULTIMATOM is likely to prove a warm order as part of the Irish maestro's first raiding party at this venue. The five-year-old was a ready winner between the flags and finished a respectable fifth in a deeper bumper at Fairyhouse in November, so any improvement should make him tough to beat. Current Edition wasn't disgraced on his Rules bow at Warwick and may give the selection more to think about than Eastern Fire.
This should prove straightforward for LULTIMATOM, who won a point-to-point before finishing a pleasing fifth in a Fairyhouse bumper on his rules debut in November. He very much shaped as though in need of the run then and can convert this lesser opening. Current Edition looks the danger having finished fifth at Warwick on his debut under rules and he too is capable of improvement while Eastern Fire will need to improve a good bit on his initial effort but hails from a top yard so may well do so.
