Atreides has been performing with credit in defeat in recent months and another good account is forecast. However, Neil Mulholland's charge is still a maiden after 20 attempts and a 2lb higher mark for his latest second over track and trip doesn't help. Chris Gordon has his string in fine fettle at present and it may be worth chancing SUMMER IN MILAN, who is entitled to build on last month's fourth-placed return over hurdles here. C&D winner Footloose Man is also noted.
SUMMER IN MILAN runs this course well - his sole win came here over hurdles - and he very much shaped as though in need of the outing when ultimately well held on his recent reappearance. He should be most competitive from this mark, with the top one Bank On Frank bringing potential to this fencing debut and looking the danger. Runner-up in a point-to-point, he didn't make much of an impact as a hurdler but it could be a different story now chasing. Ted The Thief is another who achieved little over hurdles but warrants respecting now over fences judged on his pointing efforts.
Outpaced and produced a poor debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m at Fairyhouse on his only start. The trainer is in form, and he now tries hurdling in a tongue-tie with improvement required.
Dam won in NH flat race at 2m. Well beaten at 8-1 behind De Temps En Temps when last of 9 on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse over 2m (yielding - soft) in January. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Although well beaten in a Grade 2 Aintree bumper last time, CRACKERJACQUE may have found the ground too lively. The five-year-old had previously landed a class 2 contest at Sandown in ready fashion and he looks just the sort to excel over hurdles. Sam Thomas couldn't have his string in better heart and market support for stable/hurdling debutant Alfa Charlie would be interesting, while French recruit Just Forty cannot be ruled out either.
This may not take much winning. Dan Skelton's Phineas Bunce would have been the selection had the rain not arrived, but the ground could get pretty boggy and that won't hold any fears for CRACKERJACQUE, who is a bumper winner on heavy. He struggled in the Aintree Grade 2 bumper when last seen in the spring, but that was on good ground and this should be right up his alley on hurdles debut. The ex-French Just Forty looks pick of the remainder - he too is proven on a deep surface - with his trainer Warren Greatrex finding form in recent days.

ZAOCHEN ENKI didn't enjoy the best of passages on his sixth-placed seasonal debut at Cheltenham last month and he should enjoy this drop in class. Any improvement could make Paul Nicholls' inmate tough to beat and a second career victory may beckon. A spin on the level is likely to have helped Officer Of State and he rates a live threat, although a bigger danger is Game Colours, who looks more progressive.
Gary & Josh Moore may hold the key to this, with the consistent top weight Galactic Charm respected on his return, but it's the one down the bottom, OFFICER OF STATE, who gets the nod on this occasion. He finished last season with two solid runner-up efforts in the spring and clearly needed his recent return on the Flat. He should go close, with Sage Green best of the rest having clearly been in need of the run on his return at Ascot. He retains potential from his current mark.

Having got back on the winning trail to secure a fifth triumph of the season, Shantou Lucky demands the utmost respect given his upward trajectory. James Owen's charge scored with enough in hand at Plumpton recently to suggest that a 7lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, UNANSWERED PRAYERS arrives on the back of a decent fifth in a competitive staying handicap chase at Cheltenham and he may prove slightly better treated. Ken Roy and Livin On Luco are feasible alternatives.
The bang in-form Ivane runs this course well but too much rain would be a negative and he's passed over in favour of last year's winner UNANSWERED PRAYERS, who is only 1lb higher this time around and reappeared with a pleasing effort at Cheltenham. He has a big weight to shoulder, but did last year also. Ken Roy is the unexposed one. He was much improved at Plumpton on his reappearance, swithcing to fences following a wind, and surely has more to offer being just a 6yo. Puddlesinthepark is the other worthy of mention, having continued his good run faced with a similar marthon test at the course last time. Like Ivane, though, there's a doubt as to whether he wants it too soft.
Ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth, beaten 26l in a juvenile hurdle here last time; effective up to 2m2f on good to soft ground; more to come over hurdles.
Unplaced in both starts over hurdles, also won a flat race in March. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Galactique when fourth of 5 on his latest outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good to soft) last month.

ONE ISLAND was somewhat of a surprise winner on his racecourse bow when trained on the Flat in France, but he could be a useful recruit to the hurdling ranks. Paul Nicholls' stable debutant doesn't have a lofty standard to aim at today so, should he take to this new discipline, he should go close. Forever Penywern was rated 80 on the level and could be one of the leading contenders, whilst Nelson Gate should not be overlooked with his yard amongst the winners.
Forever Penywern was progressive in sellers for William Haggas and could be the sort to make a nice hurdler, with a hood fitted for the first time. The Paul Nicholls-trained ONE ISLAND may have more potential, though, having created a good impression on the Flat in France. He brings significant promise to hurdles and should be fine on the ground. Nelson Gate is feared as a threat also, having always looked the sort to improve once hurdling. The addition of first-time cheekpieces is probably a plus.
Keen and needed the run on chase debut when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Had been in good form before that. Effective at 2m4f, handles good ground, and should improve for the experience.
He has won two hurdle races and a point-to-point from 2m 4f to 3m on good and good to soft ground. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Zurich when eighth of 14 on his chase debut at Cheltenham over 2m 4f (good) last month.

Despite the small field this looks a tricky puzzle to solve, and only a tentative vote can go to JOE COTTON. A winner over C&D in March before running with credit at Plumpton the following month, he returned with a good second at Newton Abbot recently. Although 6lb higher today, he has less to prove than many and could take some catching if allowed to dictate terms. Scorsese struggled on his chasing bow at Cheltenham but he ought to have learned plenty and may fare better in these calmer waters. Hudson is also noted.
JOE COTTON is highly consistent, has fitness on his side and boasts C&D winning form, so rates the most solid option of these. He also acts on any ground, so is equipped regardless of what the weather does. The returning Diplomatic Ash is another C&D winner and he's undergone a wind operation since his last run, so rates the main danger, with Just Over Land best of the rest for the in-form Sam Thomas. He needs to do better, but it's probably in his locker to do so.

Only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D on his seasonal return last month, ATLANTIC POWER is difficult to oppose. The son of Westerner still has few miles on the clock and looks to have been found another excellent opportunity. A few of these need improvement to feature, but Nowyouvebinandunit finished third to the selection that day and must be taken seriously on revised terms. Thickthorn Tom didn't show much in maiden/novice events, but it wouldn't be a surprise were he to progress now sent handicapping.
He's yet to threaten in three starts over hurdles, but now gets to go handicapping off a lowly mark, so this could be the day that MASK OF ZORRO springs into life. His trainer Joe Tizzard is in good form too, which is an obvious plus. The 3yo Green Asset surely has more to offer, going up again in trip, and is respected also, with last-time-out C&D Atlantic Power likely to go well after a small rise in his bid to follow up.
