SANTERA appeared to benefit from the application of cheekpieces (worn again today) when striking over an extended 2m4f at Uttoxeter last Sunday and, despite being burdened with a 7lb penalty, she will prove tough to beat if in the same mood today. Stopped Out was in fine form earlier in the year and seems sure to mount a bold bid on his return to action while 2007 Fred Winter Hurdle winner Gaspara is very well handicapped on her best form and cannot be ruled out.
Santera looked an improved performer on her first run for a new stable and she can overcome her penalty here. Wester Ross made an encouraging return on the Flat last time and can prove the main threat, with Extreme Conviction another to consider.

ASTRACAD could take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Nigel Twiston-Davies has been firing in the winners recently and this gelding gave the impression that there was plenty more to come when striking at Aintree last time. Points Of View has been progressing at a rate of knots and warrants respect despite stepping up in grade, while any market support for Higgy's Boy on his return from a long lay-off could well be worth noting. Son Of Flicka and Now This Is It make up the shortlist in a competitive looking heat.
The improvement shown by Points of View has been one of the features of summer jumping and, whilst he faces his biggest test yet here, there's more to come from him again. Both Astracad and Now This Is It have scope for improvement and are high up on the list of dangers.

Evan Williams won this race 12 months ago with the useful Barizan and his Beyond seems sure to give another good account today, but they will all have to go some to beat the hat-trick seeking TWO KISSES. Brendan Powell's filly has improved beyond all recognition since finishing runner-up behind Beyond on her hurdling debut at Stratford in July and hasn't had to come out of second gear to land her two victories thus far. Architrave and Meetings Man are defending unbeaten records over timber and warrant the utmost respect.
Evan Williams took this last year with one of the leading juveniles in Barizan, and his Beyond should go close if casting aside a disappointing effort last time. Two Kisses is put up as the selection, though, with Joan d'Arc one of a handful of potential dangers.

Winner of three hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 4f on good to firm and good ground. Well beaten at 7-1 behind Mad Jack Duncan when sixth of 10 on his latest outing in a chase at Worcester over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.

Peter Bowen has won this for the last three years and he launches a five-pronged attack today spearheaded by 2008 winner ALWAYS WAINING and last year's winner Valley Ride. The latter is hugely respected but slight preference is for the former who rounded off last season with an impressive success in the Topham Chase over the big fences at Aintree and is only 6lb higher than when winning this two years ago. Grand Slam Hero is progressive but the handicapper might have caught up with him now, while Five Dream never really landed a blow in the Galway Plate last time but he could fare better this afternoon. Enlightenment and Qulinton could surprise.
Ellerslie George ended last season under a cloud, but he's been shown some respite by the handicapper and has a great record when fresh (unbeaten in 4 starts after a break of 4 months or more). Swing Bill is lightly raced over fences and can build on his good fourth last time, whilst No Panic may emerge the best of Peter Bowen's quintet.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on heavy ground, but that win was over two years ago. Pulled up 4 out when 16-1 at Uttoxeter over 3m (soft) in a chase won by Carrickmines in March on his latest outing.

Rokinhorsescience won well over 3m1f here on his penultimate outing but he was very disappointing when failing to land the odds at Stratford subsequently. Phoenix Des Mottes is returning from a break but he could make his presence felt if at the top of his game. The same can be said for Bobby Gee but slight preference is for last year's winner THAI VANGO who broke a blood vessel at Huntingdon in May but could be primed to make a winning reappearance for his in-form stable.
Hard to trust any of these implicitly, with Rokinhorsescience a tentative pick in favour of Phoenix des Mottes and last year's winner Thai Vango.
Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Our Mick when eighth of 14 on his latest outing in a NH flat race here over 2m 1f (good) in April.

KARASENIR showed plenty of promise in bumpers earlier this year and he could prove tough to beat this afternoon if he takes to hurdling at the first time of asking. Union Island has some useful Flat form and he also makes plenty of appeal on his hurdling debut. Market support for him would be a big positive while his stablemate, Wild Desert, is fit from the Flat and he also merits consideration.
Karasenir was rather unfortunate to remain a maiden in bumpers, and can gain some compensation now switched to hurdles, the Alan King-trained pair Union Island and Wild Desert looking the main threats.

DONTPAYTHEFERRYMAN made an encouraging start over fences in the spring but he returns to action over hurdles here and, if he is at the top of his game, he could be the one to beat. Ruthenoise has a lay-off to overcome but she would be interesting if there is confidence behind her in the betting market. Royal Max can play a leading role if returning to his best form while the progressive Swiss Art also commands respect.
A chance is taken on Ruthenoise on her handicap debut for Nicky Henderson. She's not been seen since March 2009 but she's unlikely to want for fitness on her return and could be potentially thrown in. Royal Max won't be long in winning for Ian Williams and could be her biggest danger, ahead of Swiss Art.
