Pojnt-to-point winner JUDICIAL DEFERENCE made a pleasing start for his new yard with a good second in a maiden hurdle at Bangor last month. That run, which came on the back of a wind operation, should have taught him plenty and he could kick on here. The G Wizard and Abbey Scope are also heading in the right direction and support for either in the betting would need to be taken seriously.
Who's Glen was a useful staying type on the Flat and brings potential to hurdles, but ABBEY SCOPE looked a nice prospect when winning his bumper and clearly needed last month's hurdles debut at Market Rasen. With that run under his belt and now stepping up in trip, he's taken to get off the mark over jumps. Judicial Deference ran a promising race on his hurdles debut at Bangor, following a wind op, and rates a danger, while The G Wizard has run to a similar level in both hurdles runs but needs more to get off the mark.
Back to form on return when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form and effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; chance if building on that run.
He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 3f to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 3l by Nathan Wells when second of 8 at 11-1 on his latest outing in a chase here over 2m (good to soft) last month.

BENEFIT BEN made every yard of the running to win in a game manner over an extended 2m7f here a fortnight ago and could again be tough to overhaul. Okavango Delta is a dual C&D winner that also warrants close inspection, while the low-milage Mountain Molly could have a big say if replicating her Perth form at this venue. Kadjar Des Mottes is also dangerous to underestimate, despite failing to complete last time.
Chasing newcomer MOUNTAIN MOLLY has returned with two good runs over hurdles at Perth and, as a former point-to-point winner from a yard that excels with its chasers, there's a good chance of improvement from her now tackling fences. O'Faolains Glory improved to win ovr C&D last time and is respected from her new mark, so could be the danger, while the Benefit Ben is also respected having won two of his last three, including when back chasing here last time.
Made too much use of and needed the run when fourth, beaten 10l, in a novice hurdle at Ayr last time; effective at 2m with cut and should improve for that outing.

BATHGATE has flourished lately and could be well placed to follow up after winning cosily at Sedgefield a couple of weeks ago. Given he wasn't fully extended to win that race, a 6lb higher rating should be manageable if a third run in December doesn't take a toll. John Betjeman defeated the selection by a length and a half at the same venue last month and can be a thorn in his side again, although he is 8lb higher. Gemini Man and Gonnino are each-way options.
The in-form BATHGATE scored with plenty in hand at Sedgefield last time, impressing with the way he travelled, and having not quite turned six yet, it's reasonable to expect further progress. If so then he can defy a 6lb rise. National Question is lowly rated but he remains in form and could push the selection in receipt of plenty of weight, while Gemini Man returned to form when runner-up over C&D last time and a repeat performance could see him hit the places once more.

A winner of a NH flat race at 2m 1f on soft ground, but that win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 3-1 behind Wholly Boley when fourth of 11 on his latest outing in a chase at Ayr over 3m (heavy) earlier this month.
Outpaced and may have found the ground too testing when fourth, beaten 20l, in a handicap chase at Ayr last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good ground; a maiden currently out of form.

SPECIAL RATE failed to fire in a valuable event at Cartmel when last seen in June, but his previous third at the same venue gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Swallows Song could make the frame if finding some improvement for first-time cheekpieces, while Too Cool Forshrule and Inis Oirr are others to keep an eye on.
None of these have a particularly solid profile so it could be worth chancing INIS OIRR, who wasn't really travelling last time but had earlier finished a good second. He has winning course form over much further - he's actually recorded both career victories here - and could make all of these go on his day. Swallows Song is of interest also from the bottom of the weights. He's not had many tries over fences and now gets first-time cheekpieces back on drier ground. Forged Well was running okay, albeit beaten, when falling last time and isn't ruled out if his confidence hasn't been dented.
Won by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr on her penultimate start but was a bit below form when fifth last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; needs to show more.

LEADER WING was only beaten a short-head when second over C&D earlier in the month and the first-time application of a visor can help the five-year-old to go one better on this occasion, despite a 3lb rise. Beat The Retreat scored at Ayr three weeks ago and another good run can be expected here, while Lizzie Luna is best of the rest.
Beat The Retreat is the only one of these with a last-time-out win under his best, returning from a break to score on heavy ground at Ayr, and he's quite capable of another good showing but REFLECTION OF YOU makes some appeal back hurdling. Things haven't quite gone to plan over fences but his mark is fair and the return to smaller obstacles could make a difference. Lizzie Luna makes some appeal also, coming off her best run since February, with her appealing as being on a fair mark.

Getaway mare; half-sister to Townhill, a fair hurdles winner from 3m to 3m2f. Dam from a smart family and one to consider in a modest event on debut.
Half-sister to Townhill, won three times over hurdles between 3m and 3m 2f and in a point to point race at 3m.

Forever Louie should put his experience to good use after his sixth at Catterick a month ago. That said, preference is for KILARO, who won an English point for this jockey in November and he could make a winning debut under Rules. Return To Florida edges out Circle Of Steel to be the pick of the remainder.
A weak bumper. Circle Of Steel has never seen a racecourse of any description but wouldn't need to be a star to make a winning debut for his good yard, but instead we'll side with RETURN TO FLORIDA, who didn't run to expectations on his debut in points and never got beyond the first fence on his second attempt. He's been purchasd by an up-and-coming owner and appeals most, although recent point winner Kilaro is worthy of respect also.
