LEAUMEC DE MEE is difficult to oppose. Representing the in-form Dan Skelton yard, the Kempton bumper runner-up made a pleasing hurdling bow at Fontwell on his reappearance when also taking second and can only improve from that effort. He looks to have been found a really winnable opening and gets a confident vote ahead of Eddie My Eagle and Born Like Me.
This looks a match race between Eddie My Eagle and LEAUMEC DE MEE. The former just about sets the standard on ratings following his debut effort where he was given far too much to do and he should improve but the latter is preferred. He ran green on debut but was only beaten by a more experienced rival and should take a big step forwards for a top stable. His previous bumper form has been franked emphatically in this discipline and a repeat of that would be enough. Point winner Scairp Dubh can complete the places if building on his latest run here.
Below form when stepped up in grade and comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Blinkers go on for the first time. A multiple flat winner at 2m with more to come over hurdles, though likely in handicaps; this is at least easier.

MARHABA PRINCE should prove tough to beat in this maiden hurdle. A Wincanton bumper scorer on debut, Anthony Honeyball deemed his gelding good enough to run in Listed company at Cheltenham on his next start and he didn't disgrace himself. He wasn't at his best at Newton Abbot in June, but now goes hurdling and can be forgiven one poor run. Point-to-point winner Buddah Castle heads the list of dangers from Animato.
Tough to oppose bumper winner MARHABA PRINCE here. That victory has been well advertised since and he was highly tried after leaving him clear on the ratings here. He's proven on easy ground and can account for point winner Buddah Castle who may ideally want further than this in time. Perfectot was too free last time but would also hold outside claims on her previous bumper form.
Did it readily and improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 9 1/2l off 92 here last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Suited by 3m+ and acts on soft and good ground; progressive.
He has won a hurdle race and three chases from 2m 4f to 3m 2f on good and soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 5-4fav over this course and distance (soft) last month, beating Emotional Roller by 10l. Has won 3 times this season.

He has to concede weight all round in this handicap chase, but UPFORDEBATE looks up to the task. He has won three of his last four starts and could hardly have been more impressive when bolting up over C&D three weeks ago. Eveque won at Hexham and is the main danger, ahead of the returning Jamesieconn, who has winning form over the distance at Doncaster.
Top weight UPFORDEBATE is the obvious choice here. He's won 3 of his last 4 and had plenty in hand at this venue last time. A further 8lb rise looks fair with the cheekpieces likely to bring further improvement. Cresthill is yet to show much under rules but he is a recent point winner who could be well treated for his Irish yard so he is of interest at a bigger price. Recent C&D winner Eveque remains on a workable mark so is also respected but he will need a stiff test as he got last time.
Travelled well and produced his best form since February when beaten 1 1/2l off 98 here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Respected off the same mark as latest.

NO MORE BOLERO and Tanking Along are both seeking doubles, but the former was a most impressive winner at Ludlow last time. Nathan Howie's 3lb claim helps negate some of his penalty for that victory and if in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Toby Two Scoops is still a maiden after 11 starts across both codes but makes his first outing in a handicap in this sphere and might have a squeak.
This could be dominated by the pair at the top of the weights. Expelliarmus is well treated on her Irish form in both codes and could leave her reappearance form behind for a yard with a good record here. However it is BATHGATE who gets the verdict having returned to form when runner up last time. He came clear with a well handicapped veteran that day travelling best and he gets to race off an unchanged mark here. He's proven versatile ground wise and can get the better of No More Bolero who was worth more than the winning margin last time. He isn't fully exposed for his current yard.

Successful over hurdles at Kelso in September, HUIT REFLETS finished a creditable third back over the larger obstacles here last month. This extra distance holds no fears for Mark Walford's charge and another strong bid looks on the cards. Only 3lb higher than when scoring at Hexham in May, Cave Hill may improve with cheekpieces added to his usual tongue-tie, while Bo Cruz is worthy of a second look on his chasing bow.
Huit Reflets is likely to prove popular having run well here last time. However he has some slight stamina concerns up in trip and could be vulnerable to a talented newcomer such BO CRUZ. The selection proved consistent over hurdles on varying ground and starts out over fences off a fair looking mark. The way he finished his race off last time suggested he will relish this longer trip and he looks a likely improver. Cave Hill was left with too much to do following a series of errors last time but could find a bit more in the first time cheekpieces. He could prove to be the main danger.
Improved again when winning a handicap by 4l off 101 over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, acts on soft and good ground; well treated escaping a penalty and could complete a hat-trick.
Winner of five hurdle races from 2m 3f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to soft. A winner at 3-1 in a hurdle race at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m 7f (soft) on his latest outing last month, beating Stamina Chope by 4l. Has also won at Kelso this season.

BE THE DIFFERENCE carried top weight to victory in a conditionals' race at Bangor six days ago. He escapes a penalty for that success and the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility with conditions underfoot remaining in his favour. Tread Softly Now won nicely at Ayr last month, but she has a 9lb hike to contend with and Livano Bello may prove a bigger threat off his current mark.
BE THE DIFFERENCE can complete the hat trick here. He escapes a penalty for his cosy victory last time and is effectively 3lb lower here when his jockey's claim is taken into account. Livano Bello returned to form when runner up last time and looks on a generous mark based on his French form so he looks the obvious danger while last time out winner Tread Softly Now is also feared. She has proven versatile ground wise and has been progressing steadily.
The yard won this race last year. Made a promising bumper debut when a 2l winner over 2m at Worcester on debut. Returns after a short break; effective over 2m and acts on good to soft. More to come for a top yard and could defy the penalty.

Dan Skelton sent out last year's winner and TRIGG can repeat the dose. The son of Getaway made a winning debut when scoring readily at Worcester in September and Heidi Palin's claim negates a 7lb penalty. Grazeon Sunshine finished strongly to grab the runners-up spot at Newcastle in October. He could give the selection the most to think about with Brian Hughes taking over the reins, while Art Dancer is pick of the remainder.
Debut winner TRIGG can defy a penalty here. He had plenty in hand first time out and the form has been given a boost over hurdles. The obvious danger is Grazeon Sunshine was give too much to do on his debut but finished strongly. If ridden more positively he can chase the selection home ahead of Art Dancer who looked a strong stayer when midfield over C&D first time out.
