ICANMOTOR gets the marginal preference in a very moderate contest. The daughter of Midnight Legend remains a maiden after 25 starts under Rules but there has been plenty of encouragement in her last three starts. Tingo In The Tale showed some ability in novice hurdles a couple of seasons ago and was not beaten far on the Flat back in March. Feather Lane and Moreece also make the shortlist.
Most of these have questions to answer but ON ALBERTS HEAD could be the one to be with. He caught the eye in a 3m hunter chase at Exeter, travelling smoothly for most of the way before running out of petrol in the closing stages. This trip should be more suitable and the dual point winner is on a potentially nice mark back over hurdles. Moreece and Icanmotor can fill the places.

COLD KNIGHT showed a great attitude to win narrowly at Stratford a few weeks ago and a 4lb rise in the handicap for that success looks fair. The 10-year-old was a relatively consistent performer in points so there seems no reason why he cannot go in once again today. The Big Dipper has been a bit disappointing in his last two starts but he can be given another chance back down in trip today. Pembroke House has been knocking on the door of late and another good run from him looks likely.
The most appealing option is THE BIG DIPPER, who is just 1 lb higher compared to when scoring over hurdles in September and he contested a stronger race than this on his recent chase debut at Market Rasen. Mille Nautique hasn't shown much over hurdles for Alan King but, like the selection, he's open to improvement as a chaser and is next best, ahead of Zama Zama and Pembroke House.
Unplaced in both starts over hurdles. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Royal Supremo when 11th of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.

This contest looks set to be dominated by MAGIC MUSIC MAN, Searching and Viva Rafa. The preference goes to the Alan King-trained five-year-old because the form of his third at Aintree last time appears to be stronger than that offered by his main two rivals. He has also run to a consistent mark in all of his last three starts over timber. Viva Rafa has the same official rating as the selection and could prove to be the main danger, although Searching is in receipt of 4lb being a four-year-old.
VIVA RAFA, Searching and Magic Music Man all boast similar profiles and are closely matched on the pick of their hurdles form. Separating them isn't easy, but they are preferred in that order as the first-named is an uncomplicated front runner.
Yet to place in four starts over hurdles. Fell 2 out when 200-1 at Wetherby over 2m (good) in a hurdle race won by The Grey Taylor in November '14 on his latest NH outing. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with R C Guest.

Despite not completing his most recent start, it is hard to oppose STAR TROUPER. The former bumper winner only found the useful Mister Miyagi too good on his hurdles debut last November, and while he was disappointing on his comeback run in April, that form gives him an outstanding chance today. Le Capricieux has to be considered on the back of a good second at Kempton. Elysian Prince is a decent horse on the Flat and there was some encouragement in his debut over hurdles recently, while No Win No Fee would have an each-way chance if running to his official rating of 110.
STAR TROUPER isn't an easy ride, but if he can be anchored early, he possesses enough ability to win a race such as this. Le Capricieux swerved an engagement at Fontwell on Sunday for this and appeals as the chief threat.

NICOLAS CHAUVIN has proven to be a frustrating sort, having finished second or third in each of his last five starts, but he has been unfortunate to bump into some nice horses in that time. When last seen in October he only found two rivals who are now rated in the 140s too good for him. Willem does not win as often as he maybe should but the six-year-old could give the selection the most to think about, although Closest Friend and Upsanddowns do not have much to find.
He has won a hurdle race and two point-to-points from 2m 6f to 3m on heavy ground, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 40-1 when 12th of 15 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Taunton over 3m (good to soft) in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Most of these arrive here struggling for form but not DISTANT SOUND, who beat Lombardy Boy easily at Towcester earlier in the month and that pair meet on similar terms today. He ran well last time to finish third but the way he stayed on over 2m3f that day suggests this trip should suit, whereas the aforementioned Lombardy Boy needs to prove himself over this distance. Any market support for Princess Tiana would have to be noted.
REBEL BENEFIT has lost his way over fences of late but did show some promise over hurdles last summer and might be worth chancing back over the smaller obstables under Sam Twiston-Davies. Distant Sound and Lombardy Boy have both been in good form around 2½m and look sure to figure if as effective over this longer trip.
Placed in a hurdle race from three NH starts. Finished 6l behind Barman when fourth of 7 at 4-5fav on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Worcester over 2m (good to firm) earlier this month.

DEAUVILLE DANCER has not hit the heights over hurdles that his Flat rating suggests but the step up in trip should really help this five-year-old. He needed 2m on the level and so he is likely to need further than that over hurdles. Il Presidente has yet to confirm the promise of his 19-length bumper win at Fontwell in 2012, although he has only made three racecourse appearances since that day and he cannot be discounted. Vaillant Nonantais will have learnt plenty from his hurdling bow in a better contest at Newbury and must be considered. Golden Thread would be the pick of the remainder.
There is plenty of substance to the form of VAILLANT NONANTAIS' Newbury fifth on what was his first start over hurdles and he could be hard to beat if improving on that over this longer trip. Il Presidente shaped as if retaining ability after a long time off at Warwick and can do better if standing up to racing.
Placed in two NH flat races from three starts. Third of 11 behind Creep Desbois beaten 10l at 11-4 on his latest outing in a NH flat race at Plumpton over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month.

Benefit Of Luck and Lord Bryan set the standard in this contest, having both shown ability under Rules already. The latter would arguably be the pick of that pair based on his narrow second at Plumpton in February. That said, MONSIEUR ARKADIN won his sole start in points at Barbury back in December and although he was not the most expensive purchase at 27,000 pounds after that win, it would be disappointing if he could not go very well in this contest.
This looks a good opportunity for the Peter Bowen-trained LORD BRYAN to get off the mark unless the Tim Vaughan point recruit Monsieur Arkadin turns out to be above average.
