Scarlet Moon has taken well to the winter game and followed a breakthrough Warwick victory with a creditable fourth in Listed company at Aintree. It might be difficult to concede weight, though, particularly against FALLS OF ACHARN. The son of Sea The Moon signed off his Flat career with Jessica Harrington with a Leopardstown/Cork brace, which will have played no small part in him then fetching 105,000gns at the sales, and Paul Nicholls does well up here. Belaya River showed some ability at Newbury and is another to consider.
It is risky since he's a hurdle debutant but preference is for the very useful Flat operformer FALLS OF ACHARN here. Belaya River made a decent start over timber and can contend while the progressive Scarlet Moon is the obvious danger.
Below form back over hurdles when well beaten in a handicap at Ayr last time; has one fair effort over fences to his name; returns from a short break and not without a shout.

FIVEAFTERFOUR had yet to show her hand when hitting the deck on her chasing bow here and was in the process of making a promising return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Providing that has left no lasting scars, she can begin to make up for lost time in a race that won't take much winning. Lord De Vinci wasn't beaten all that far on his Carlisle comeback and is bred to be better over fences. Keep Marty Mcfly in mind too.
FIVEAFTERFOUR appeals in this. She came down mid-race on her chase debut but has a solid hurdles profile. Lord De Vinci is a threat having needed his return over hurdles and having bits and pieces of decent form over timber. Marty McFly could also threaten if getting back to the form of his chase debut.
Probably needed the run when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell on the Flat last time. This is his second start since a wind operation; effective from 2m to 2m3f, handles soft and good, and may be competitive given Flat form.
He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 3f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 1l by Bashful when second of 7 at 11-8fav on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Kelso over 2m (soft) in February last year.

Lucinda Russell won this for the second time in four runnings when Alan Doyle drove Bold Light home 12 months ago, although he is 8lb higher now and the stable might have stronger claims with improving novice Chanonry Point. Serious Chat arrives in fine form, but he was hammered by WISE EAGLE at Catterick just over a year ago and Adam Nicol's top-weight remains well treated in this sphere. Fasol and Moonbow also command attention in a really competitive renewal.
MOONBOW could be the answer here. He is rapidly progressing and on a competitive mark. Wise Eagle ran well on the Flat after a break last time, should come on for the run and on his best hurdles form is going to be thereabouts. Smokeringinthedark looked to need the race last time and had been improving over hurdles prior to that. The trip should suit him.
Below form when tried in cheekpieces and comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kelso last time. Effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground, but has struggled to find best form this term.

JET TO VEGAS won a Grade 2 over hurdles and finished fourth in an Aintree Grade 1. He's yet to win over fences but has posted a couple of solid efforts at Perth and Ascot and now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark. Insurrection won well here last season and is very much one to consider, likewise Tommy's Oscar and Rexem.
THE KALOOKI KID could be the answer here. He won the Scottish Champion Chase here in February and ran really well on his reappearance. Insurrection was another course winner over fences back in the same month. He's off a break and did lose his form at the end of the last campaign but refreshed could go well. Jet To Vegas also looks dangerous having run well on both recent chase starts.
Ran a bit below form when made plenty of use of on heavy ground, finishing 9l third in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; generally progressive.
Placed in three hurdle races and a NH flat race from six starts. Third of 8 behind Tashkhan beaten 9l at 5-1 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Hexham over 2m 4f (heavy) in December last year.

SNOWROCCO won well over this sort of trip at Newcastle latest and connections appear to have found their mare another good opening. In a race lacking proven form over 3m, she is difficult to oppose. Kool Raoul goes handicapping for the first time and is interesting, while it would be surprising if Paul Nicholls couldn't get Jena D'oudairies to win a race off 108.
SNOWROCCO looked much improved for a wind operation last time and is hard to oppose here. Biglesisback though is progressive and lightly-raced and looks a viable threat. The consistent Artic Mann may be third best.

Cueros boasts an attractive, unexposed profile and will likely have his supporters in the finale, while Afadil is a C&D winner and Mr Mcloughlan has won three of his last four starts. CITY OF DIAMONDS gets the nod, but is only a lukewarm selection. He's another unexposed quantity and his handicap debut success over track and trip was quite taking.
This is a very competitive conclusion to the card. Preference is just for MR MCLOUGHLAN who backed up a decent run in Graded company with a win at Huntingdon last time. City Of Diamonds also won last time and is on a workable mark here while Chase A Fortune probably ran his best race over hurdles on his latest start and is another threat.
