There was plenty to like about LORD HUNTINGDON's debut in this sphere at Huntingdon earlier this month, as the three-year-old made use of his Flat form to trounce a juvenile field. He was quite novicey in the early stages but soon got the hang of things and pulled away nicely from the pack. Alan King mentioned the Wensleydale at Wetherby so the son of Lord Of England is clearly held in decent regard. Masterson and Tasty Ginger look best of the remainder, while Cliffs Of Dover would be a threat if turning out quickly following a win on Friday.
A race farmed by Alan King in recent years and LORD HUNTINGDON can give the Barbury Castle handler another winner after making a perfect start in this sphere earlier this month. Cliffs of Dover is his obvious danger if turned out quickly following his win on Friday.

Paul Webber looks to hold a strong hand in this event with two runners and LEMON'S GENT looks to be the pick of the pair. The nine-year-old won impressively at Market Rasen when last seen in April and he jumped brilliantly on that occasion. He remains lightly raced for his age and the son of Generous should launch a bid to follow up despite a 10lb rise. Next Sensation claimed his first victory since last year's Cheltenham Festival at Newton Abbot recently and has to be respected if now back to his best, while Noche De Reyes also enters calculations.
NEXT SENSATION was a top-notch handicapper in his prime and, having shown his best form for a while when winning at Newton Abbot last time, he's taken to follow up from a mark that still makes him look thrown in. Surf And Turf isn't long with a new yard and Noche de Reyes would have a chance if returning in the same form he was showing through the spring. Roman Flight has to be considered now, too
He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 1m 7f to 2m 2f on good ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 1-4fav at Newton Abbot over 2m 2f (good) earlier this month, beating Djarkalin by 2 1/4l.

TAPER TANTRUM has improved for each of his two starts in this sphere and could take advantage once more under Richard Johnson. The son of Azamour has proved a revelation for Michael Bell and deserves to take his place in this sort of company. This flat track will suit and he can get the better of Black Corton, who bids to take advantage of his novice hurdling status before moving onto better things for the in-form Paul Nicholls. New Agenda is an interesting recruit to hurdling and warrants a market check.
TAPER TANTRUM has made a seamless switch to hurdling and the hat-trick beckons with conditions likely to be right in his favour. It looks a match for second between Newton Abbot-winner Black Corton and the filly Solstalla.
Winner of two hurdle races and three chases from 2m to 2m 7f on ground varying from good to firm to yielding - soft. Well beaten at 7-2 behind Helium when fourth of 5 on his latest outing in a chase at Worcester over 2m (good to soft) in October last year.

COWARDS CLOSE often reserves his best efforts for when arriving back from a break and the nine-year-old looks to hold strong claims in a modest renewal. Chris Gordon does well with his runners at this venue and the Hampshire-based handler landed this event in 2011 with a similar type. Shady Glen is a consistent type who ran very well at Worcester when last seen in August, almost defying a 12lb rise but just falling short when the winner drifted across him in the final stages. Golanova could prove best of the remainder.
SHADY GLEN is a chaser firmly on the up and makes plenty of appeal in this company. Strumble Head had excuses last time and is the type to bounce back.

This looks an excellent opportunity for MY TENT OR YOURS to get back in the winner's enclosure for the first time since winning a jumper's bumper in February 2014. Nicky Henderson worked miracles to get him back to his best form with his efforts at Cheltenham and Aintree showcasing that he was back with a vengeance when runner-up twice to Annie Power before finding Punchestown one run too many when third behind Vroum Vroum Mag. He gets weight from all his rivals barring stablemate Hargam, who is next best on ratings but has to prove his well-being after two poor efforts, so the main danger could be Rayvin Black, who gave The New One a race at Haydock in the Champion Hurdle Trial last term and will wear his heart on his sleeve from the front which should help the selection settle. Gwafa and Mister Miyagi both showed plenty of promise as novices and could well have more to offer this season, while Court Minstrel isn't out of this on ground he loves.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on good to firm ground. Beaten 6l by Mixboy when second of 8 at 7-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Sedgefield over 2m (good) last month.

PRINCE KHURRAM has been in solid form over the summer months and can take full advantage of fitness over the majority of his rivals who make their returns after a break. After Hours should make up into a decent handicap chaser and would be a threat on his best hurdles form, while Jarlath is another in decent heart and merits plenty of consideration.
TROJAN STAR had made his way to the front and was going well when trying to run out and unseating his rider at Hereford last week so he is probably worth a chance to confirm he's better than his current mark. Valseur du Granval clearly has ability but he showed signs of temperament in the closing stages at Southwell last time, so isn't one to rely on.
Placed in a point-to-point from three starts. Third of 10 behind Lough Derg Farmer beaten 32l at 8-1fav on his latest outing in a point-to-point race at Dromahane over 3m (good to soft) in May. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with A J Kennedy in Ireland.

A race that has a decent history with the likes of Balthazar King (2009), Le Bec (2012) and Tea For Two (2014) all taking this before going on to achieve greater things in their careers. This renewal on paper doesn't look to have a similar type to those but LOUGH DERG LEADER makes the most appeal having won a point-to-point earlier in the year and Tom Lacey has wasted no time in booking Richard Johnson to take the ride. Leith Hill Lad should benefit from better ground than he encountered on hurdles debut at Warwick last November, while Tower Of Allen was disappointing in bumpers but will appreciate a step up in distance over timber.
LEITH HILL LAD didn't go without promise in a bumper/maiden hurdle 7 months apart last year, understandably hinting at inexperience. He gets the narrow vote on return, though market support for point-recruit Lough Derg Leader would put a different slant on things.
