PAY THE PIPER is a likeable, tough gelding and could emerge triumphant in this small but competitive event. He lost little in defeat when a neck second at Wetherby last time (pulling 14 lengths clear of the rest) and the faster ground on this occasion should pose no problem. Friend Or Foe is best treated at these weights and rates the biggest threat, although Kiltealy Briggs and Roi De Dubai are certainly no mugs either.
A case can be made for all four of these but the most persuasive one is for PAY THE PIPER who holds the edge on form and can bag a third chase success for his in-form yard. Friend Or Foe has been lightly raced but is still highly respected given his good record when fresh and can chase home Ann Hamilton's 7-y-o.

BARDENSTOWN LAD is entered in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and can win this before a possible tilt at that. He produced a career-best effort when winning at Cheltenham last time and anything like that level of performance should suffice. Lyrical Genius disappointed at Huntingdon latest and the cheekpieces now go on him, so Tramore scorer Where It All Began looks most likely to chase the favourite home.
BARDENSTOWN LAD brings some useful form to the table and is the percentage call, although fellow Irish raider Where It All Began could have enough improvement in him to make it a close run thing.

Alan Doyle and David Armstrong teamed up with a winner at Newcastle on Tuesday and their Cool Mix warrants plenty of respect here, but CALIPSO COLLONGES' class may shine through. He has backed up a solid effort in Grade 3 company at last season's Aintree Festival with a win and third-placed finish at Kelso and Haydock respectively this term. Lewis Stones takes a handy 6lb off his back today and another big run looks on the cards. Broken Quest holds each-way claims.
He has won four hurdle races from 1m 7f to 2m 1f on good ground. Beaten 5l by Friend Or Foe when second of 3 at 2-1 on his chase debut at Uttoxeter over 2m (good) in May last year.

Things didn't work out for WILD MAX on his chase bow at Ludlow but he makes plenty of appeal reverting to timber now 1lb below his last winning mark. He represents the same trainer/jockey combination that won this 12 months ago and, given his connections, this has probably been the plan for some time. Socialist Agenda is a big player in receipt of weight from all of his rivals now handicapping for the first time, while you can throw Highly Prized into the mix as well.
A three-time winner in C&D juvenile hurdles last winter, FIVEANDTWENTY hasn't scaled the same heights since, yet her mark reflects that, and with a run under her belt on the back of a wind op last month, she could well be ready to strike. Handicap-debutant Socialist Agenda is also worth a look, whilst Wild Max may well bounce back returned to hurdling on the back of a disappointing chase effort.
He has won four hurdle races at 2m on ground varying from good to heavy. Beaten 19l behind Global Agreement at 7-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Wetherby over 2m (heavy) last month. Has won at Kelso and Newcastle this season.

This won't take much winning and SMART LASS gets just a tentative vote because her mediocre course third latest is probably the best recent form on offer. The yard enjoyed a winner at Newcastle earlier this week and a first-time tongue-tie might bring about an improved display. Wor Verge had been in good form but was well beaten off just 2lb higher at Wetherby last time. Chuvelo is the pick of a moderate remainder.
SMART LASS turned in her best effort of the season from her sliding mark when third over further here last month and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears, she could well be the answer. Saryshagann may well benefit from the return to this sharper test and is also worth a look, along with My Macho Man.
Winner of three hurdle races, a NH flat race, two chases and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m 5f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy.

HIGHLAND HUNTER performed with plenty of credit when runner-up in the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow on his latest outing, finding only the highly-progressive Iwilldoit too strong, and the unexposed chaser makes plenty of appeal. The Wolf built on his comeback run when second at Cheltenham last time and can give him most to think about, while Mighty Thunder hacked up when last seen at this course and is also worth considering.
A winner of a chase at 2m 6f on yielding ground. Beaten 2l by General Arrow when second of 4 at 11-8fav on his latest outing in a point-to-point race at Higham over 3m (good to firm) last month.

It is hard to look past the Paul Nicholls-trained SOLDIER OF LOVE, who may not have finished last season on a positive note but had previously posted some smart form when facing classy opposition. Favourably treated on these terms, the gelded son of Yeats can prove too strong for Myth Buster, who ran respectably in a point-to-point at Higham last month. Those two are clear at the weights and should dominate, with Wonderoftheworld possibly best of the remaining two runners.
SOLDIER OF LOVE is the class act in this field and Paul Nicholls should have him sufficiently fit enough to make a successful start in this sphere. Myth Buster, a runner-up in a point recently, has the benefit of a recent run, so he could pose the main threat.
