GRANPA GER filled second place on his debut for these connections over 2m at Uttoxeter last month and, given how well that form has worked out subsequently, the seven-year-old is clearly the one to beat here. The recent C&D third Snatch A Glance could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Lake Tiberias and Super Freddie should not be discounted.
GRANPA GER proved a touch frustrating in Ireland but he was consistent and the form of his stable debut couldn't be working out much better. He finished ahead of a future Graded winner that day so should take advantage of this drop in class. Super Freddie ran well for a long way until his fitness gave out on stable debut and he looks the obvious danger while Alcaraz is also respected on his hurdling debut. He was a flat winner in France and showed a high quality of form in that sphere.
Scored by a length off 92 over 2m1f at Cartmel in August. Returned to form back over hurdles when second, beaten 8 1/2l off 99 last time. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground, and appears in form off a fair mark.
Winner of three hurdle races and two chases from 2m 1f to 2m 2f on good and heavy ground. Beaten 9l by Zenato when second of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Sedgefield over 2m 1f (good) earlier this month.

Bluenose Belle has to be respected on her return after her victory at Market Rasen when last seen in May. However, her lack of a recent run may give the edge to BLUE TEMPUS. Alan King's gelding was fourth on his handicap debut at Kempton last month and should benefit from this drop in grade. Others to note are Dexter and No More Bolero.
BLUE TEMPUS has proven consistent in his short career and is taken to shed his maiden tag here. His runner up effort in the summer took a boost at Graded level recently and he looks on a generous mark. Battle Of Omdurman was a winner first time out over hurdles and remains well treated on his flat form so he looks the chief danger ahead of Dexter. The top weight has been in good form of late and looks on a fair mark judged on his chase efforts.

MONMIRAL has yet to show his best in five starts over fences, but he was second in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham back at the beginning of 2023. A subsequent winner of the Pertemps Final in 2024, Paul Nicholls' gelding can be given another chance back over the larger obstacles. Wyenot was a Listed winner over hurdles and makes plenty of appeal at these weights, while Double Powerful edges out Kamsinas to be next best.
A strong contest could go to WYENOT who is likely to get a very easy lead on her chase debut. She developed into a useful handicap hurdler at 3m last term and she has an excellent record fresh. Double Powerful failed to complete last time but his debut handicap form looks strong and he should be on the premises if ridden a bit more forcefully. Kamsinas was a Graded winner over hurdles and could also threaten if his stamina holds up though that is a concern.

DESPEREAUX and Crystal Glance are the pair to focus on. The fitting of first-time cheekpieces could see that latter improve on two moderate runs last month and a return to form cannot be ruled out. On the other hand, DESPEREAUX arrives after an improved effort when third in a similar event at Huntingdon and another step in the right direction could suffice. Tracking Treasure is the pick of the others.
DESPEREAUX is likely to get an easy lead here and should prove tough to catch at this sharp venue. He returned to form when placed last time and that effort has been franked so he looks well treated off 1lb lower. Maiden Tracking Treasure hinted at better last time and isn't fully exposed so he could prove the main danger if progressing again in the first time cheekpieces. Top weight Crystal Glance wears the same headgear for the first time and is also respected given her consistent form this year.
Well treated off an unchanged mark, ran to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 109 at Huntingdon last time. Trainer in form and effective over 2-2 1/2m on a sound surface. Progressing over fences.

A wind operation and the switch to fences seems to have brought the best out of PURE CARBON. Harry Derham's charge was making only his second outing over the larger obstacles when returning the ready winner at Huntingdon recently and he remains of interest off a 6lb higher mark. Lightning Flash beat the selection at Chepstow last month and is not easily dismissed back over 2m, while Hypotenus drops in class with a shout on his return to the fray.
DOG FOX has proven a touch frustrating but he is consistent over hurdles and fences so gets the narrow verdict here. He found little for pressure last time but this sharper track will suit with 2m on good ground his optimum conditions. Last time out winner Pure Carbon remains unexposed over fences and holds strong claims off top weight. He is feared most ahead of Big Boy Barney who has been struggling over hurdles since a promising debut but is a point winner so could well revive to the switch to the larger obstacles.
Outpaced and ran poorly on stable debut, finishing down the field in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time; effective over 2½m but has everything to prove for new connections.

PRINCESS KERI has relished the return to hurdling and built on last month's second at Chepstow with a convincing success at Lingfield two weeks ago. Harry Cobden keeps the winning partnership intact and she looks worth sticking with back over this longer distance. Isabel De Clare finished second here a month ago and could have a say in proceedings once again, while the Huntingdon runner-up Sumatran Tiger may well improve now handicapping.
BRIEF STATEMENT was rallying when coming down last time and though she's unlikely to have won she has been generously dropped 2lb by the handicapper so could get off the mark here. The way she finished her race off suggested that this longer trip would suit so she can get the better of fellow maiden Briery Butterfly who has proven inconsistent in her short career including at this venue. Of those at bigger prices Silk Bird makes some minor appeal. She was well held on her handicap debut but this step up in trip will suit and she looks fairly treated on her previous effort at this track.
