It's hard to get away from MALDINI MILANO. Paul Nicholls' charge shaped with lots of promise when only finding one too good on his hurdles debut at Newton Abbot last month and would have learned a great deal from that experience. The drop in trip shouldn't pose any problems and he looks the way to go. Asta La Vista showed ability in his sole bumper start when fourth at Worcester and goes for the in-form Charlie Longsdon stable. Fountains Blenhein is the pick of the remainder.
MALDINI MILANO was a winner of a bumper at Exeter on debut back in November of last year and has since gone on to be pitched into Listed level, where he finished last of 11 runners, but then bounced back to some sort of form next time out when coming 2nd at Wincanton for his last run of the season. A 2nd on hurdle debut at Newton Abbot last time out, he was beaten by a Skelton hotpot and would have learnt plenty from that run. This looks like a slightly easier race on paper, and with that run under his belt from last time, he can get back to winning ways here. Fountains Blenhein has only run twice under rules, with a victory on stable debut at this venue in a bumper back in March; he then went on to run in the Grade 2 Aintree Bumper, where he could only manage a 14th-place finish. He is sure to be ready to go for this hurdle debut, and he can run well at the venue he has won at previously. And Big Bert has run twice over hurdles; he can build on those efforts here but might have to settle with filling the places.
15,000 euros Lauro gelding; half-brother to Punchers Path, fair at 22f; may just need this experience.

Raced lazily but ran to form up in grade when fourth, beaten 9l in a 2m bumper at Sandown last time. Trainer in form, and the 2m bumper winner should improve for a step up in trip over hurdles.

DOCTOR ON CALL made a good impression to score on his bumper debut at Hereford last December and is a half-brother to smart hurdles/chase winner Martator. The five-year-old looks to have been found a good starting point over timber and will prove hard to beat. Fortune Timmy finished second between the flags in January before changing hands for 40,000 pounds and warrants a market check. Kool Kid completes the shortlist.
It could be a good start to the meeting for Paul Nicholls, as his DOCTOR ON CALL looks to have an excellent opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking. A winner of his sole bumper run at Hereford back in December, he does have the 316-day break to overcome, but sometimes with these younger jumps horses, it does help to get a summer on their backs before going over obstacles. He won nicely on his racecourse debut, and the form of that has been backed with the Dan Skelton horse winning since. He looks a nice type for this sphere, and he can make it first time lucky over hurdles by landing this. Silver Hill also won on debut, landing a Market Rasen bumper back in December before going on to come 4th when trying to back it up next time out. The yard is in cracking form at present, and he could be the main rival to Doctor On Call. And Nazare has the benefit of a run over hurdles when coming 3rd at Newbury last time out. He can build on that but might have to settle with another place finish behind two potentially nice types.
Yard won this last year; ran below form when 42l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Southwell on latest outing. Trainer in good form and wears a tongue-tie for the first time; the pick on balance of form off lenient opening mark starting out over fences.
Successful in two NH flat races at 2m and 2m 1f on good to soft and soft ground. Third of 8 behind Koapey beaten 42l at 5-2 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Southwell over 2m (good) in March. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

Dunskay sports a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap/chase bow and also takes a step up in trip, so he is one to watch out for. Lord Maher competes off a career-low rating and is noted, but the vote goes to GRAIN TRADE. The six-year-old struck in ready fashion by six lengths at Market Rasen last week and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from following up, especially with the Billy Aprahamian stable in such great form.
Lightly raced and wasting no time in getting over fences, Ben Pauling sends DUNSKAY here for his chase debut after just 6 runs under rules, 3 times in bumpers and 3 times over hurdles. A two-time winner of his bumpers, he looked a talented individual heading into his novice hurdle season last term, but it did not happen for him. Placing 3rd on two of his hurdle runs, it looks as if connections purchased him with chasing in their minds, and off what could be a pretty low mark for his debut, he can make it a winning start to life over the larger obstacles. Majestic Moment is yet to win under rules but has plenty of experience in the point-to-point sphere; therefore, it can jump a fence. An 8th place finish on Chase's debut last time; he is sure to build on that effort here and could run a good race at a decent price. And Yarborough was lightly raced over hurdles; connections sent him over fences this season, and he can run well on his chase debut off a low mark here in this, but he might have to settle with filling the places.

Plus Point produced a better effort when second at Worcester in May and makes her handicap debut in this sphere on her return to action. However, HELLO CELLO finished third in this grade over the same C&D in June and is now 1lb lower. If ready to go, she could be the one to beat. Clear Storm showed promise prior to falling at Market Rasen in July and is another to keep an eye on.
EVEREST comes into this having not won a race under rules as yet but did run well to an extent in a novice hurdle contest last season and was a decent enough 3rd on handicap debut at this venue back in August. A not-so-decent run next time out when coming 7th of 9 runners at Plumpton last time out, but back at a venue that she has run well at previously, as well as being in a slightly easier contest than last time and being 1 lb lower, she can bounce back to form and land the first race of her career. Clear Storm was a previous winner on the flat; yet to win over hurdles, she has placed on a few occasions earlier on in the year and can do the same here in a contest of this nature. And Plus Point is a lightly raced sort over hurdles (3-time winner on the flat) who came 2nd in a novice hurdle at Worcester back in May. She makes her handicap debut here off a decent mark and can run well and land a place in this before progressing with each run during the season.

Preparations are approaching full swing at the in-form Paul Nicholls yard and the multiple champion trainer has another key player in the returning PASO DOBLE. The eight-year-old has won when fresh in the past and he can exploit a handy rating back over hurdles. George's Lad was still in the mix when he fell in the EBF Final at Sandown and merits close inspection resuming at this level. Goodwin, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, completes the shortlist.
GOODWIN is a two-time winner at this venue, which includes a 5-length victory in a handicap hurdle back in September on his penultimate start. Now 7 lbs higher in the weights after that victory, he has been rated higher than this in the past, and although he did disappoint when only managing a 4th place finish last time out, he does seem to put his best foot forward at this venue. In good form at present, with race fitness on his side, he can make it three wins at this venue, somewhere he clearly loves and runs very well at. Aggagio is a very likeable multi-purpose horse who has won over hurdles and on the flat; coming into this off the back of a 4th at Goodwood on the level last time out, he won on his penultimate start over hurdles at Warwick off just a 3 lb lower rating. In good form on the flat over the summer, he can make his presence felt in this. And Paso Doble was a good 2nd over fences last time out; he reverts back to hurdles in this and is in good form at the moment. He can run well here and fill the places for connections.
Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m at Ffos Las last time; suited by 3m on testing ground but can be inconsistent.
Successful in a NH flat race and a chase at 2m 2f and 3m 2f on good to soft and heavy ground. Pulled up 3 out when 16-1 at Ffos Las over 3m (soft) in a chase won by Another Lord in April on his latest outing.

OF CORSE I CAN has improved since stepping back up in trip and being sent chasing. From a very workable mark, the eight-year-old can take another step forward to complete a three-timer, with stylish claimer Bradley Harris retaining the ride. Record High was a C&D winner in February and has a decent chance off just 4lb higher. Ballintara and Grand Sabre are others to consider.
OF CORSE I CAN comes into this off the back of two wins in three runs over fences, a victory at this venue on his penultimate start; he has since gone on to win at Newton Abbot just 5 days or so ago. He is set to be raised 4 lbs in the weights after this run; therefore, he does run off the same mark as last time when winning, and Bradley Harris, who clearly gets on so well with him, takes the ride once again. In terrific form at the moment, he escapes the penalty here, and providing the quick turnaround does not have an effect, he is the one they all have to beat given the form he has been in at present. He Is A Cracker came 2nd at this venue last time out; he is the main danger in this if replicating that sort of run here. And Ballintara has won three times over fences previously, including a course and distance success at this venue last time. He is sure to continue that sort of form coming into this and could be a real danger despite a 2 lb raise in the weights.
Made mistakes and was outpaced but ran to form when fourth, beaten 20l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f here last time. Acts on good ground and could be suited by further than 2½m; consistent but the mark demands more.
Yet to place in three starts. Finished 20l behind King's Reign when fourth of 8 at 15-2 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race here over 2m 3f (good) last month.

JINGLE JANGLE JET could be set for further success if he picks up where he left off in March. That Newcastle triumph was the seven-year-old's final start for Philip Kirby, but this is no tougher and it could provide an ideal starting point for his career with Ben Pauling. Kopa Kilana has held his form well and looks worth another try over this sort of trip. Call Your Bluff merits a betting check.
Olly Murphy's horses are operating at a 50% win strike rate for the last 14 days, and Sean Bowen has been on most of them. The partnership are in sparkling form at present, and their runner KOPA KILANA could continue that good form in this race. Although he has only won once in 32 career starts, he has been running well at the moment and deserves to get his head in front once again. A couple of placed efforts recently, he runs off the same mark here as last time when he came 2nd at Perth last month. Jingle Jangle Jet won on his last start for Philip Kirby at Newcastle in March. Now transferred to the Ben Pauling team, he could be primed and ready to go here like all of the yard's horses tend to be so early on in the season. And Brionywells is yet to win over hurdles but is lightly raced and comes into this off a pretty low mark. She can put that to good use here and run a good race, filling the places for connections.
