Although he weakened to finish seventh over 2m4f at Uttoxeter recently, BRAVE KNIGHT should appreciate this drop in class/distance. Paul Nicholls' charge is effectively 10lb lower if taking Freddie Keighley's 8lb claim into account and a fourth hurdle victory may be on the cards. Handicap debutant Diamond Ambition posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Worcester last month and is feared most, ahead of fellow unexposed rival Karton Plein.
BATWOMEN was last seen winning a handicap hurdle at this venue back in April; she performed really well that day and soon went clear in the closing stages to win, pulling away by 6 lengths in the end. Now 5 lbs higher in the weights on her seasonal return, she looks a progressive type, and her yard has started the season in decent form. Brave Knight hails from a top yard that are starting to slightly find their feet in the early season; he has a few runs under his belt and therefore has race fitness on his side, which can count for a lot at this time of year. He can run well in this now, down a further 2 lbs from the last effort, but might have to settle for a place. And Le Galli Bier is yet to win over hurdles but did run well to place at this venue in February and March; he can go well in this and kick on as the season progresses.
Ran to form showing a willing attitude when winning a maiden hurdle here by 3/4l last time; effective over 2m on decent ground. The yard does well with ex-Flat horses in this discipline, and there could be more to come.

Having supplemented a second-placed hurdles bow over C&D with a breakthrough victory at the same track last month, Galactique should put his experience in this discipline to good use. Although Gary & Josh Moore's charge merits respect in his follow-up bid, there are some intriguing Flat recruits on show, with WINSTON JUNIOR topping the bill. Having reached an official rating of 89 on the level, the son of Churchill could take some stopping if taking to this sphere. Babyken requires close inspection in the market too.
An intriguing contest here; WINSTON JUNIOR is well bred and was rated 89 on the flat when in operation with Jessie Harrington. Although he did not win in 8 career runs on the level, he did perform to a decent standard, and if he replicates that over hurdles, he will be a decent enough animal in this sphere. James Bowen is booked to ride him on his hurdles debut, which makes him the one to beat here. Babyken comes here from a good yard with a former champion jockey booked to ride, and this French recruit looks a nice prospect over hurdles for the season ahead. Two runs in France, a win and a 2nd; he is sure to go well on stable debut in this. And Galactique won at this venue last time out; he will have a great chance here against newcomers but has to carry a penalty in this, and he can settle for a place finish.
Improved on chase debut, a thorough stayer who landed a handicap by 10l off 132 over 3m at Exeter last time; the pick on the balance of form.

Largy Poet improved for the switch to fences when scoring on his first attempt over the larger obstacles at Exeter in February and he cannot be taken lightly off 5lb higher in the handicap. However it could be worth taking a punt on chase debutant ILLEGAL D'AINAY at the foot of the weights. The son of Montmartre shaped as if need of a stiffer test over hurdles last season and the booking of champion jockey Sean Bowen catches the eye. Devon National winner Art Decco is the pick of the remainder.
LORD ACCORD comes into this contest off the back of a decent effort in the first veterans series race at Chepstow 16 days ago; he always seems to perform well at this time of year, given the fact he won twice around this time of year last year. That run would have set him up nicely for his effort next time out, and given the fact he has race fitness on his side here and stays well, he is the one to beat in this contest. Illegal d'Ainay is very lightly raced and makes his chase debut here in a race against some very experienced chasers. Sean Bowen takes the ride; therefore, he has to be taken very seriously, although he does not have the experience over fences. And Art Decco was last seen winning a real stamina contest at Exeter in February; he makes his seasonal debut in this, and he is sure to run very well.

KOTMASK ticks plenty of boxes for the Moores, who do well at their local track, and if ready to go for his seasonal return, he could be the one. Second off 1lb lower at Ascot in March, he has won here over hurdles and has plenty in his favour. Heltenham was not at his best at Worcester last month but may be worth another chance, while Statuario is respected following his Perth success last month.
KOTMASK comes from a yard that does very well at this venue, and he was last seen 210 days ago when coming 2nd in a class 3 handicap chase at Ascot back in March. Now just 1 lb higher in the weights, he does his usual run pretty well fresh, and he can continue that here by landing this contest. A winner of a similar contest to this at Ascot back in December, he will appreciate the expected good-to-soft ground conditions. Heltenham has to carry top weight in this, but on his day he could be the best horse in the contest. A 6-time winner over the larger obstacles, he has the race fitness under his belt, which could count for a lot here, but the conditions might just suit Kotmask a bit more in this. And Statuario has won plenty of races over fences; a winner at Perth on his last start, he is sure to continue that good form here and go well once again.
Travelled well and won cosily in a bumper at Newcastle over 2m1f by 7l last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective over 2m with cut. Steadily progressive in bumpers and should have more to offer over hurdles.

Mild Magic finished second in her sole point-to-point outing and is one to watch on her hurdling debut, although this seems more likely to go to course winner Gaelic Pride, or the classy IDAHO SUN. Harry Fry's gelding won his first two bumpers at Newton Abbot and Windsor before a career-best sixth at the Cheltenham Festival, beaten less than seven lengths at the line. The five-year-old comes from the family of Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere and is expected to continue his progression.
This year's Champion Bumper form has been questioned somewhat, but there could be one or two smart novice hurdlers in there, which includes the 6th place finisher IDAHO SUN for Harry Fry. A winner of a bumper at Market Rasen, where the form has been franked nicely, he then went on to win a valuable bumper at Windsor before going on to come 6th at the Festival and only getting beaten by 6 and a half lengths in the end. He looks a very nice type for the season ahead, and he is in pretty good hands to get the most out of him over hurdles. Gaelic Pride was a winner of a point-to-point, as well as winning one of his bumper runs at this venue back in February. A nice type coming into the novice hurdle scene, he can go well here but might have to settle for a place on hurdle debut. And Bespoke Tailor was a winner of his 3rd bumper run at Newcastle last season; he looks a nice type who can fill the places on hurdle debut for connections.
Travelled well but needed the run and was not asked a question when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m and should come on for that debut effort.
Unplaced in both NH starts. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Masked Man when eighth of 14 on his hurdling debut at Chepstow over 2m (good) earlier this month.

Newcomer Betgoodwin is worth a market watch ahead of his debut given his trainer's record at this track. Bumper winner Elusive Knight made too many mistakes on his hurdling bow at Ffos Las, but he clearly has an engine and could also get into the mix, but LEAUMEC DE MEE is preferred. Second on his only start in March at Kempton, the winner has won twice since to frank the form and Dan Skelton's gelding can only improve this season.
LEAUMEC DE MEE comes into this after just the one run in a bumper last season, where he came 2nd on his racecourse debut at Kempton back in March. He was a late runner to the bumper sphere and has been given time to mature over the summer as he prepares to make his hurdle debut. The form of that bumper has been franked with the winner since going on to win twice over hurdles and is now rated 119, and the Skelton charge pushed that horse all the way to the line, only getting beaten by half a length in the end. He looks a nice type for hurdles this season and can make it a winning start over obstacles. Bright Legend has plenty of experience over hurdles with 12 runs to his name; he can put that to good use here and run well, but he might have to settle with another place finish behind an unexposed type. And Little Ledgend has run twice over hurdles; he has not particularly shown much but is a work in progress and can build on those two efforts and run well here.
Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when finishing 8l third in a 2m4f handicap chase at Southwell last time; generally consistent at around 2½m, acts on good, soft, and heavy ground; still a maiden but improving over fences.

The runner-up over these fences last month, ATREIDES arrives in fine fettle having subsequently shaped well again when placed at Southwell. Neil Mulholland's charge should have more to offer over the larger obstacles and could prove the one to side with. I'm Your Buckaroo has undergone a wind operation since scoring over hurdles at Plumpton in May. He makes more appeal on his chasing bow than Imperial Measure and the selection's stablemate Tuscan Rose.
I'M YOUR BUCKAROO was last seen winning over the smaller obstacles at Plumpton back in May, a game winner on the day he was seen running a few good races before that when placing on his four runs prior to that victory. Connections have wasted no time in getting him over fences as he makes his chase debut in this, and the yard's horses tend to really improve when jumping over a fence. He looks the sort to improve nicely with racing, and if they are sending him over fences so early on into his career, then they must see him as a nice chasing type. Atreides has run three times over fences so far, placing in his last two starts. He is sure to build on that and put his experience to good use here, but he might have to settle for another place finish. And Tuscan Rose also makes her chase debut here; the two-time hurdle winner looks a nice type for this sphere, and she can go on and run into a place on her first start over the larger obstacles.

Emma Lavelle's yard remains in top form and GREY GAMBLE, a half-sister to a couple of winners, gets the speculative vote, especially if the market speaks in her favour. Paul Nicholls boasts a fine strike rate at this venue and Sappingirl is another worthy of consideration, while Katios Queen is related to several winners and makes more appeal than stable companion Rodders. Montrachet Fin is another to keep an eye on.
Not much to go on at all with every runner in this field making their racecourse debuts; Paul Nicholls does have a decent strike rate at this venue, therefore SAPPINGIRL could be the one to side with in this contest. The yard are starting to pick up now as the season goes on, and their runner here has been gelded already for his first run. An 88,000 euro purchase as a 3-year-old, he is pretty well bred and is related to a few bumper and hurdle winners. A future over obstacles would very much be his bag in time, but he can be the sort to learn plenty here but also be too good for the rest of the field. The Emma Lavelle team are in fine fettle at the moment, and their Grey Gamble can be the main danger. Related to a few hurdle winners, she can run well in this but might have to settle with a place finish on her racecourse debut. And Crest Of Valour is related to a few hurdle winners and has to be taken seriously on his racecourse debut, but he might have to settle with filling the places for all involved.
