Having returned to form when runner-up to a progressive rival at Kempton last month, KOCKTAIL BLEU ticks plenty of the right boxes. The pair drew 15 lengths clear of the third and a similar performance from the six-year-old might prove sufficient. They Want Me scored a shade cosily over C&D in December and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of fellow penalised runner Kaka's Cousin.
A pretty useful novice that can go to KOCKTAIL BLEU. Placed behind the likes of Idaho Sun and Kripticjim in bumpers - that pair have both won Graded events over hurdles this season - he got off to a winning start over hurdles before failing to stay an extended 2m4f at Newbury. His latest run, when chasing home the pretty smart Baron Noir at Kempton, gives him leading form claims and the softer ground this time will suit ideally. He might have a bit too much pace for Kaka's Cousin, who himself followed home a smart one at Wetherby last time. His debut win came over 2m3f, though, and he may not have the pace to win this. They Want Me is respected also, having shown useful form in two hurdles runs, winning over C&D last time.
Too keen, improved up in trip on handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-3m1f on a sound surface; needs to settle better dropping in trip.

Judicial Deference is sure to prove popular given his winning handicap bow in a 17-runner affair at Haydock last month and a 7lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, it could be worth chancing the up-in-distance NOONETELLSMENOTHIN, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Catterick three weeks ago and an official mark of 108 looks workable. Kent De Thaix is also respected having found Grade 2 company too hot to handle last time.
Kent De Thaix was found out in the Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster last time but had created a good impression whn scoring at Carlisle previously and he could easily have more to come now handicapping, but a more solid option may be JUDICIAL DEFERENCE, who followed up his Musselburgh maiden hurdle win with a handicap success upped in trip at Haydock, landing what was a competitive event. He's taken a 7lb rise but looks up to defying it with his capable rider claiming a handy 6lb. Jimmy Hurdstrom has yet to win but was too keen over further at Kempton last time. The drop in trip should work in his favour, returning from an 81-day break.
Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; had been in good form prior. Effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on heavy and good to soft; in good form until latest and should come on for that.

CHASE A FORTUNE has posted two creditable runner-up efforts since landing the spoils at Wetherby in December and this could prove a suitable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Chris Grant's inmate is only 1lb higher than his latest second at Sedgefield and he gets the nod ahead of Bertie's Ballet. The Albaasil gelding is entitled to build on last month's return at Haydock, with this drop in grade expected to suit. Handicap-debutant Triple Crown Ted could also feature.
Handicap debutant Liberty Coach is surely capable of better now handicapping, given his useful level of ability on the Flat, and he did shape well on his second hurdles start at Wetherby. This is a stiff 2m on soft ground, though, and perhaps it's best left to a proper National Hunt horse. Chase A Fortune is one option, the consisent 8yo still looking on a competitive mark even if it is creeping up, but potential improvers Triple Crown Ted and LANCE LES DES, first and third respectively in a C&D novice in November, appeal more. The selection is 5lb better off this time and has since improved with another good placed effort over C&D. This will be his third start back from an absence and he should be ready to peak so can reverse form with Triple Crown Ted, who admittedly won with a bit in hand that day.

MAXIMILIAN goes handicapping for the first time over fences and ought to make his presence felt as a previous Grade 2 winner over hurdles, and Grade 1 Sefton runner-up. Bill Baxter is a previous course scorer who won at last year's Punchestown Festival in Listed company, so is another to take seriously. King Of Answers and Dare To Shout can also get involved.
A good-quality handicap chase that can go to KING OF ANSWERS, who ran a little flat when finishing fourth of five at Windsor last time. He was off the pace from an early stage but did rally to good effect and now gets cheekpieces for the first time. His earlier win, over this C&D, marked him down as a chaser to follow and he can land this before working his way up to have a crack a big spring handicap, possibly the Ultima and/or Scottish National. Elvis Mail stays well and has been given a chance by the handicapper, so could have a say at a course he runs well, for all that he's well into the veteran stage now. Bill Baxter has undergone a wind op and could return to form back up in trip.
Travelled well and possibly hit the front too soon, getting racing too early up in trip when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time. Effective over 2m3f-3m and remains fairly treated on hurdles form, improving over fences.

Providing MILCREE doesn't bounce after making his first run for almost two years at Ayr last month a successful one, then Nicky Richards' charge could kick on and make up for lost time. He was really impressive on his chase bow and could have a lot more to offer. Queensbury Boy's second to Guard The Moon at Windsor reads well in the context of this race and he's noted along with Moon Phases.
Queensbury Boy has yet to win over fences but he's run some good races, including when probably getting to the front too soon at Windsor last time. He's now dropped in trip and should go close off the same mark, but there was a lot to like about the winning return of MILCREE on his chasing debut, easily defying a mark of 115 at Ayr in early January. He's gone up 8lb but that's not of much concern with him looking to have the potential to rate much higher. Provided he avoids the bounce factor on his second run back from an absence, then he ought to follow up. Moon Phases is another unexposed chaser on the up who can have a say, winning with more in hand with the neck margin implies at Newcastle last time.
Ran to form down in trip when second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap chase at Ayr latest; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on S and GS; consistent, may be worth another go over marathon trips.

Point-to-point winner BIG ZOUK opened his account over under Rules with a tidy round of jumping at Ayr. He should have plenty more to offer on only his second start chasing, so Nicky Richards' charge could well defy a 6lb rise. Slaney Opera scored over a similar trip at Sedgefield last month and is another open to further progress off his current mark, while Wal Buck's could land a blow if the first-time visor has the desired effect.
Former point winner Big Zouk made the perfect start to life over fences when staying on well to win at Ayr and 6lb rise may well underestimate him, with further improvement highly likely. He lacks the experience of both Slaney Opera and WAL BUCK'S, however, and it's the latter who is fancied to come out on top despite top weight. He's got plenty of chasing experience for just a 7yo and stays really well, while also being well at home on deep ground. The first-time visor could also act as a catalyst for improvement. Slaney Opera has loads of point and hunter chase experience and looked all about stamina when winning a handicap at Sedgefield recently. The much deeper ground might not be as suitable, however.
Promising debut when runner-up, beaten 2l in a maiden point at Boulta on his only start. Returns from a short break, was effective at 3m in points and can go well on his rules debut.
Half-brother to Burru, won over hurdles at 2m 4f. Beaten 2l by Old Coast Road when second of 13 at 8-1fav on his racecourse debut at Boulta over 3m in November last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with James Kenny.

LION ROSE SIVOLA made a winning debut between the flags last year and shaped with plenty of promise in a bumper at Chepstow in November. With improvement likely on his second start after a wind operation, the five-year-old looks one to keep on the right side of. Second in a point-to-point, Ar Ais Aris is one to note on his debut under Rules, while The Shanachie is another to note.
The 4yo newcomer Sea Tempest is getting plenty of weight and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning debut for his respected yard but with conditions set to be testing this may be best left to former pointers LION ROSE SIVOLA and Ar Ais Aris. The selection has the benefit of a run under rules, finishing in a Chepstow bumper back in November. He travelled like the best horse that day and, granted normal progress, could take a bit of beating. Ar Ais Aris was runner-up in an Irish point on debut and has joined a good yard that does well here, so should have a say as well.
