El Galactico confirmed the promise of his debut second when accounting for an in-form opponent at Uttoxeter and the time he has been given off since will have helped him strengthen further. Fountains Blenhein ran out a bloodless winner at Fontwell but they have to concede 7lb to CALVINO, who was denied by a shock scorer at Newton Abbot and can atone on his second attempt at hurdles. Manigod showed ability on the level in France and has been bought for 40,000 euros.
FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN was highly tried in bumpers before outclassing his rivals on his recent hurdling debut. The form of that race has been franked and he is fancied to follow up at the expense of Calvino who placed in a strong contest on his hurdles bow. He's entitled to improve for that outing and can threaten along with El Galactico who beat a small but useful field last time. He may however find this shorter trip slightly too sharp.
Ran to form when second beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Lingfield last time; the trainer is in form. Returns from a long layoff but effective over 2–2½m and may have more to offer in handicaps.

Paul Nicholls and Patrick Mullins strike up a formidable partnership with IT'S A BREEZE. The 120,000-euro half-brother to classy mare Impervious didn't really build on a decent hurdling debut, but starts handicap life off a mark of just 103 and can make the most of it. Clear Storm has made the frame on her last five completed outings and should be thereabouts again, although most feared is the consistent Tropical Speed, even though he has been on the go all year. Washington Singer is worth a look too.
The consistent CLEAR STORM looks capable off this mark and if replicating her latest runner up effort she should be on the premises. The dry ground is in her favour and she proved her stamina on her last couple of starts. The unexposed Washington Singer looks a strong challenger off top weight having placed on both of his runs over hurdles so far. Rockview Roman is well treated on his best Irish claiming form and can also make his presence felt if building on his flat stable debut.
Below form when finishing 10l third in a handicap chase over 2m at Huntingdon on his most recent run. Best at 2m and suited by decent ground, though currently in moderate form.
Winner of a hurdle race, three chases and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on good ground. Third of 9 behind Pure Carbon beaten 10l at 5-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Huntingdon over 2m (good) earlier this month.

Bond Broker is perhaps flattered by his form figures because although he has finished second on all three starts since completing a hat-trick, he has been soundly beaten on each occasion. He still warrants consideration but of more interest is SIAM PARK, who may have needed the run when fading into third at Newton Abbot and is expected to see his race out a lot better. No Risk With Lou showed more when dropped to this level at Huntingdon, while Alto Alto always commands attention at this circuit.
It could be worth taking a chance with SYNCHRONIST who looked in need of the run when held on his recent chase debut. Prior to that he proved progressive over hurdles in the spring which included a victory here on good ground off 5lb lower. Alto Alto is another course winner and he will appreciate the drop in trip on his return. Given his excellent record here he could be the biggest danger ahead of the unexposed Bond Broker whose latest runner up effort has been franked emphatically.
Never put into the race and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Carlisle last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good; well treated on old form if his ability remains.
Has won six hurdle races, two NH flat races, two chases and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to heavy, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 28-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Carlisle over 2m 4f (soft).

Wind surgery appears to have been the making of Nardaran because he returned with a facile success here before following up at Sandown. The extra half-mile asks a sterner question of him, as does his penalty, so the vote goes to LISTENTOYOURHEART, who has kept good company since winning a Listed mares' novices' hurdle and kept on for fourth in the Welsh Champion Hurdle. Goblet Of Fire is still fairly treated in this sphere and has to be taken seriously.
An open race can go to the progressive NARDARAN who had a bit in hand last time when outstaying his rivals up the Sandown hill. That suggested that this longer trip would deliver more and he's taken to defy a 7lb higher mark. Sign Again ran much better than the finishing figures suggest on his reappearance in a much stronger contest than this and looks well treated on his novice form so he is arguably the most interesting contender at a price. The consistent dual purpose performer Goblet Of Fire holds no secrets from the handicapper but can also compete for a place.
Did it readily and improved when stepped up in trip in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut, landing a handicap by 2l off a mark of 95 at Kempton last time. Acts on good ground, effective from 2½m to 3m, and looks progressive with more to come as a stayer.

FINAL STRAW made a successful beginning to his handicap career at Kempton a week ago, handling the step up to an extended 3m with aplomb. As that came in a conditionals' event, he escapes a penalty and his amateur rider takes 7lb off his back. It will be a surprise if he is beaten, although I Look How I Look has occupied the runner-up berth a couple of times and could be a threat if ready to roll following an absence. Annie Nail might do better for the return to hurdles.
FINAL STRAW was a cosy winner on his handicap debut and should be able to defy top weight here. He gets to race off a lower mark when his jockey's claim if taken into account and he remains unexposed at 3m. Annie Nail is far from consistent but she is well treated on her chase form so may throw down the biggest challenge. The same can be said of He'llstopatthetop who remains a maiden but could also go well off a light weight here.
Suited by the step up in trip when second, beaten 21l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Fontwell last time. Absent for a very lengthy period starts chasing off lenient opening mark; very interesting.
Placed in a hurdle race and a point-to-point from seven starts. Beaten 21l by Sam's Amour when second of 8 at 6-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Fontwell over 2m 6f (good) in May last year, his only placing from 7 starts.

BALLYNAHEER arrives at the top of his game, making the top two in each of his last four appearances and justifying favouritism with plenty up his sleeve at Warwick recently. A further 6lb rise isn't unduly harsh and he is worth sticking with, although Unspeakable did just deny him at Hereford last month and is 5lb better off. Christian Williams' seven-year-old does, however, have a subsequent poor display over hurdles to bounce back from. One Last Glance will also be happier back over the larger obstacles.
A tight contest where none of the quartet can be ruled out. BALLYFINN has a long absence to overcome but he showed useful form over hurdles in his short career and starts over fences off a generous mark. The way he finished off his race last time suggested that this longer trip would help and he can dispatch the steadily progressive Ballynaheer. His 6lb rise has mostly been offset by his jockey's claim so he holds an obvious chance. Unspeakable was also successful on his last chase run and having been freshened up after a poor hurdles effort he remains a threat.
Ran to form when beaten a length off 103 at Uttoxeter last time; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; showed fair form on the Flat until latest, unexposed over hurdles.

HILL STATION so nearly supplemented a Stratford triumph at Fontwell and there was no certainly no disgrace in that display, especially considering the winner has gone in again twice subsequently. With that in mind, a 3lb rise might be lenient and Luke Scott gets on well with him. Zafaan has made the frame on his last couple of outings and shouldn't be far away, with Belcamo's Huntingdon second earning him a spot on the shortlist too. The juvenile Premier is very interesting on his handicap hurdle debut.
PREMIER has shaped with promise on both of his starts so far and is chosen to make a winning handicap debut here. His debut form took a boost at Graded level this weekend and the good ground will be in his favour. Belcamo boasts plenty of experience and showed improved form in a maiden last time. If replicating that he can provide the biggest challenge ahead of Gregorians Star who was too keen last time but wears a hood here.
