MIGHT I created a big impression when winning impressively on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot last month and that form was boosted when the second won last weekend. The son of Fame And Glory looks to have a very bright future and he should take plenty of stopping. That said, Sonigino should not be underestimated on his debut for these connections having won twice in France earlier in the year. Others to note are Barrichello and It's Good To Laugh.

The consistent Furius De Ciergues has to be respected having made the frame at Cheltenham last time but preference is for JERSEY BEAN. Oliver Sherwood's gelding is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Cheltenham in April and he is entitled to improve for his comeback run a month ago. Truckin Away struggled at a higher level when last seen but he should not be underestimated.
The amateurs handicap at Cheltenham DEFUTURE IS BRIGHT shaped well in a month ago looks pretty strong form and unexposed as a stayer, he could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. Silva Eclipse showed enough on reappearance to make him of firm interest, with Amateur completing the shortlist on return to action.

In an open race the marginal preference is for CALICO, who failed to fire on his seasonal return but he is 3lb lower than when finishing fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in April. The application of a first-time tongue-tie may help the five-year-old and he represents a yard in decent form right now. Tommy's Oscar finished a place in front of the selection at Ayr and could go well once again, although he will have to improve on his most recent effort. Our Surprise edges out Christopher Wood to be the pick of the remainder.

BRAVEMANSGAME's chase debut at Newton Abbot could not have gone any smoother and last season's Ballymore third/Sefton runner-up is going to take the world of beating on these terms. Itchy Feet is the main danger given he represents an in-form yard, is more experienced over fences and comes in here on the back of a creditable second in the Old Roan at Aintree. Pay The Piper edges out Alnadam to be the pick of the remainder.

Rightplacerightime and Riggs will be popular in this competitive handicap at the foot of the weights, with the former arriving in good form following an impressive chase success at Fairyhouse and the latter blowing away any cobwebs at Aintree. Of more appeal, though, is ORBYS LEGEND, who won the Silver Trophy well at Chepstow and has ground conditions in his favour. The step up to 3m can ensure he remains a step ahead of the handicapper following an 8lb rise. Chances are also given to If The Cap Fits and Bass Rock.

Bristol De Mai regained his crown, winning this race for the third time, last season and is sure to be fighting fit as he bids to strike again, but Irish raider A PLUS TARD is 6lb and upwards ahead of these rivals (with Bristol De Mai next best) on official ratings and his class could shine through. A slight concern would be that he usually improves for his first run back, but Henry de Bromhead could have him further forward this season given the magnitude of this race and he is undoubtedly the class act in this line-up having finished off last term with a cracking runner-up effort in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. He's only seven and, worryingly for his rivals in the staying division, could be even better this campaign. Waiting Patiently is a fascinating runner making his stable debut for Christian Williams, while Next Destination is certainly no back number equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
A PLUS TARD holds a clear edge on form and is fancied to become the first Irish-trained victor of this Grade 1 and thwart Bristol de Mai's bid for a record-equalling fourth success. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in great nick though, so his course specialist seems sure to push Henry de Bromhead's Gold Cup runner-up close. Next Destination and Imperial Aura look the pick of the rest.
Has won three hurdle races, four chases and a point-to-point from 3m to 3m 3f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Third of 8 behind Ballymillsy beaten 31l at 11-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Newton Abbot over 3m 2f (good to soft) last month.

With little weight on his back, especially with Jack Tudor's valuable claim taken into consideration, this represents a fantastic opportunity for STRICTLYADANCER to complete the hat-trick. He built on his October Cheltenham success when even more impressive back at Prestbury Park last week and a further 7lb rise in the ratings probably won't be enough to anchor him. Empire Steel goes well fresh and warrants plenty of respect making his first start since pulling up in Grade 1 company at the Aintree Festival in April, while course winner Ramses De Teillee is likely to improve on his comeback spin over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month.
STRICTLYADANCER is in fine heart at present and gets the vote to score again having landed consecutive Cheltenham victories in recent weeks. With further improvement on the cards, a bold bid for the hat-trick is all but certain. The main danger could be Ramses de Teillee, who was entitled to need his reappearance effort over timber last month, ahead of Empire Steel.
