There was no disgrace in finding only high-class mare Lady Buttons too good at Newcastle recently and a repeat performance will make BOLLIN ACE extremely difficult to beat. The dangers are few and far between, but Hope's Wishes was rated 121 over hurdles around this time last year and could potentially improve for the switch to fences. She is taken to grab second ahead of Native Gamut.
This looks a straightforward opportunity for BOLLIN ACE, who should have no problem accounting for today's rivals judged on his solid second at Newcastle 2 weeks ago. Native Gamut and Hope's Wishes can do battle for the forecast.

GRANVILLE ISLAND has impressively notched up a Uttoxeter/Carlisle double and although a further 7lb rise in the ratings will obviously make life tougher, he is fancied to round off the hat-trick. Newberry New also chases three wins in a row and looks the obvious danger, while O Maonlai can't be ruled out with first-time cheekpieces equipped.
ICING ON THE CAKE is worth another chance to build on his return having been set with a stiff task at Ascot. Newberry New and Granville Island have both won their last 2 starts so have to be feared in current mood.
Successful in two chases at 2m on good and soft ground. Brought down when 8-1 at Taunton over 2m 2f (soft) in a chase won by Triple Chief last month on his latest outing.

TROJAN STAR folded tamely in the closing stages over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time out but is a potential improver now cutting back to 2m. Bajardo had no sort of race when brought down at the first at Taunton last time and remains only 1lb higher than when striking at Fakenham in December. The pick of the remainder may be Mondo Cane, who is only 2lb higher than when finishing a half-length second over C&D last month.
BAJARDO got no further than the first on his latest outing, but he was in good form prior to that and remains of interest from this mark. Mondo Cane would have a chance if bouncing back, while Trojan Star comes with risks, but is too well handicapped to ignore.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m 3f to 2m 4f on good and soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 5-2fav when last of 7 on his latest outing in a chase at Towcester over 2m (soft) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today.

C&D winner FINNEGAN'S GARDEN won a conditional jockeys' race by three lengths from 5lb out of the handicap at Lingfield last time so looks of obvious interest now racing from his proper, 5lb lower, mark. Gustav has been off the track since scoring at Stratford 12 months ago and is worth monitoring in the betting, while Kavanaghs Corner landed minor money off this mark at Towcester last time and could similarly take a hand.
Zoe Davison holds a strong hand here, with FINNEGAN'S GARDEN and Gustav making most appeal. The former, last year's winner, brings recent winning form to the table and, unpenalised for that success, he rates the likeliest of the pair. Lickpenny Larry can do best of the others.
Winner of six chases and a point-to-point from 2m 4f to 3m on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Unioniste when fourth of 6 on his latest outing in a chase at Fontwell over 3m 2f (good to soft) last month.

VELVET MAKER finished second to Douvan in a Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown back in 2016 and he may be capable of outclassing his rivals this afternoon. Grandioso often makes the frame in these type of events and he should be thereabouts once again. Others to consider in an open event are Gowanauthat, Proximo, Rouge Et Blanc and Trafalgar Rock.
VELVET MAKER faded in a 3m point last time but there's a good chance the trip stretched him and he's very interesting back down at 2m having still been capable of useful form this time last year. Rouge Et Blanc ploughed through the mud to score at Lingfield last time and has conditions to suit again, while Trafalgar Rock is a player based on the pick of his efforts for his previous yard.
Winner of seven chases from 3m to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to heavy. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Gonnabegood when fifth of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Towcester over 3m (soft) last month.

ALBERTO'S DREAM was well backed prior to bolting up on his debut for this yard at Lingfield on Monday. He is likely to go up in the ratings by a lot more than the 7lb penalty he carries today and the nine-year-old will be very hard to beat if fully recovered from those exertions. Redmond is next on the list having won himself at Fontwell last month, while Onurbike is the pick of the remainder.
Last-time-out winners ALBERTO'S DREAM and Redmond look the pair to concentrate on. Tom Lacey’s charge had plenty in hand when winning at Lingfield on Monday and is narrowly preferred.
