SOBER GLORY was bitterly disappointing when a beaten favourite in Listed company at Sandown, but deserves another chance dropping in class. Unbeaten in the bumper sphere, including a Listed success at this track, he was hugely impressive when making a winning start over hurdles at Chepstow in November and hopefully he can bounce straight back to form. Dutch Corner finished a creditable third behind a couple of smart rivals on his jumping bow at Lingfield and a similar level of performance should see him make the frame. Jane Williams' mare Yeld To Call also has place credentials.
This should be straightforward for SOBER GLORY. He lost his unbeaten record when disappointing at Sandown last time but that clearly wasn't his true running and, previously unbeaten, winning a point, three bumpers and a maiden hurdle, he's taken to get back on track before inevitably having another crack at a better race. Dutch Corner needs to settle better but could be the one to chase the selection home, although hurdling newcomer Into Battle brings potential to hurdles given he was useful on the Flat.
Ran to form when finishing 4 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Leicester last time; effective over 2m and handles soft and good to soft; vulnerable under a penalty.
Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 1f on good to soft and soft ground. Third of 6 behind A Pai De Nom beaten 4 1/2l at 5-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Leicester over 1m 7f (soft) in December last year.

Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Exeter last time; a point winner who has yet to show form under rules; may improve when switched to handicaps.
A winner of a point-to-point at 3m on soft - heavy ground, but that win was over two years ago. Pulled up 2 out when 50-1 at Exeter over 2m 1f (heavy) in a maiden hurdle race won by Blowers in December last year on his latest outing.

The betting could prove a good guide to the chances of Fire Warning, a 340,000-euro French recruit who finished runner-up to a subsequent winner at Auteuil in October, but BESPOKE TAILOR shades the verdict. The six-year-old was promising in bumpers last season and has placed in each of his three hurdle starts so far. He certainly appears to bring the best UK form to the table and should go very close to landing the spoils. In receipt of weight all round, smart Flat performer Square D'alboni adds further spice to the race on his debut for Dan Skelton.
Bespoke Tailor sets the standard with his Cheltenham third in November being the best piece of form on offer, but he was unable to quite match it at Wincanton last time and so it might be worth chancing FIRE WARNING for Nicky Henderson, who has won this race twice in the last three years. The ex-French 5yo was a Flat winner over a staying trip who finished runner-up at Auteuil on his hurdles debut. Improvement can be expected. Formerly classy Flat racer Square D'Alboni is an interesting opponent, although his most recent efforts on the level hardly inspire confidence. He has at least joined a top yard.

APOLLON FORLONGE had little difficulty in scoring at Taunton when improving from his first attempt at Exeter and another bold bid is forecast, despite giving away a 7lb penalty. Matiwo fell at Cheltenham but is worth a second look in these calmer waters, while Sixty's Rock is entitled to have stepped forward after finishing fifth on racecourse debut at Wincanton.
Apollon Forlonge is an attractive gelding with a bit of class about him and he won in fine style at Taunton, but now has a penalty and conceding 7lb to French import FEEL GUT could prove tricky. Nicky Henderson's 4yo finished runner-up behind a potentially smart rival on his debut at Auteuil and is taken to make a winning start to life in Britain. Matiwo shouldn't be underestimated either, having shaped well on debut and then fallen last time when too keen. He's from a yard that does well in juvenile hurdles and could end up in a race like the Fred Winter.
Improved and scored with plenty in hand when landing a handicap by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Hereford last time. Trainer in form and effective from 2m4f to 3m1f on a sound surface. More required again off this new mark but clearly progressive.
He has won two chases and a point-to-point from 3m to 3m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 11-8fav at Hereford over 3m 1f (good to soft) in December last year, beating Ithaka by 10l. Has won twice at Hereford this season.

Buckna continued on his upward trajectory when completing a double at Hereford and he's sure to prove popular in his current vein of form. However, this looks more competitive and he may be worth taking on from a 7lb higher figure. CAPTAIN BOUDET left his seasonal debut behind when finishing a good second at the Herefordshire venue and he tops the list. Unexposed duo Taita Hills and Top Target add further spice to the mix.
Several of these can be given a chance, with the hat-trick seeking Buckna probably needing to progress again to defy his latest 7lb rise. He might be up to it, so needs considering, but it might be worth chancing TAITA HILLS, who found 2m too short on his chasing debut at Lingfield but still shaped well behind a useful winner. He was placed over this sort of trip as a hurdler and looks capable of marked improvement. Top Target was staying on late and appeared likely to finish second when coming down late at Doncaster. If all is okay after that spill then he could easily be there fighting out the finish.
Travelled strongly and won easily by 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen off a 12lb lower mark last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m, handles softer ground, and looks progressive enough to defy top weight.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 7f on good to soft and soft ground. A winner at 9-4 in a hurdle race at Market Rasen over 2m 7f (good to soft) on his latest outing in November last year, beating Tranquil Sea by 9l.

C'EST DIFFERENT has proved a different proposition since entering handicap company and his latest romp at Market Rasen suggested that he may still be ahead of the assessor. Although a 12lb hike demands more of Sam Thomas' charge, there looks to be more to come over staying distances. Haydock scorer Kiss My Face isn't the most consistent and a 5lb higher mark could find him out so a bigger threat may emerge from Lingfield winner Block Rockin Beats, another who is unexposed over this far.
A few highly progressive types in this, none more so than the top weight C'EST DIFFERENT, who has the Pertemps Final as his aim and needs to climb the weights a little further to bee ensured a run. Winning this can help, something he's certainly capable of having completed the hat-trick with ease at Market Rasen last time. Top Guy might be the biggest danger, having won nicely at Aintree most recently, although On The Go looked a staying type firmly on the up when scoring with plenty in hand at Hereford last time.

With a clean round of jumping, this should be a penalty kick for PANIC ATTACK, who has landed a couple of valuable prizes already this season. A commanding winner of the Paddy Power Gold Cup before impressing further in the Coral Gold Cup, she has upwards of 25lb in hand on official ratings and sets a high standard in pursuit of the hat-trick. Molto Bene is two from two over fences and deserves to take her chance, despite having plenty to find. Ilovethenightlife can grab third place.
This should prove straightforward for PANIC ATTACK, who completed a notable Paddy Power/Coral Gold Cup double in the month of November. The improving mare has upwards of 20lb in hand at these weights and, barring a mishap, should complete the hat-trick before having her attentions turned towards March. The scrap for second could go to Molto Bene, who has been in fine form over both hurdles and fences. Ilovethenightlife might be next best, although is up against it for win purposes.

Many will fancy their chances, including connections of Soldier's Leap, who arrives in search of a hat-trick. Handicap debutants Leaumec De Mee and General Briar enter calculations, as does bottom-weight Premier, for all that an 8lb rise for his narrow Taunton success looks a little harsh. ALMUHIT enjoyed a stellar Flat campaign and was a good second in a series final at Punchestown when last seen in this discipline. Given that he holds an official rating of 87 on the level, a current hurdling mark of 112 looks well within range.
This can go to handicap newcomer LEAUMEC DE MEE. He still has plenty to learn, looking green in front at Sedgefield last time, but with that is open to masses of further progress and a mark of 111 is surely not close to his actual level of ability. Soldier's Leap has taken a hit from the handicapper following back-to-back wins but he is improving and ought to be competitive still. General Briar is an interesting sort also with handicaps in mind. He won well at Plumpton last time and surely has more to give for his good yard.
