This can go the way of RACE TO BASE, who was last seen scoring from a subsequent winner at Hereford in April and is bred to relish the switch to hurdles as a former point-to-point winner. The son of Vadamos gets the vote ahead of Tiptoptim, who is another making his hurdles bow after an easy bumper success at Newcastle in March. Dropping significantly in trip on his second start for new connections after finishing second here last time out, De Temps En Temps may also have a say in proceedings.
DE TEMPS EN TEMPS sets the standard on his Irish form and should be able to add to his bumper win. He ran well for a long way on his stable debut before just being out-battled late over 3m but can make amends back down in distance. Loriko ran well in bumpers and over hurdles in France and has joined a top stable so looks the obvious danger with the forecast rain a plus. UK bumper winners Tiptoptim and Race To Base are also respected starting out over hurdles.
Fell in a maiden over 2m5f at Maisemore Park last time; showed minor promise in 3m points but needs more under rules.

FORTUNE DE MER may have disappointed when last seen in the Champion Bumper, but he was a Listed winner in that sphere last year and this appeals as an ideal starting point to his hurdling career. A determined bumper winner at Fakenham when last seen in February, Kefir D'oudairies must enter calculations for his leading connections, while Granpa Ger is an experienced sort from Ireland that looks an intriguing recruit to the Belinda Clarke stable.
Listed bumper winner FORTUNE DE MER should be able to make a winning hurdles debut here. He was poorly placed at Cheltenham when last seen but will find this much easier and the forecast rain shouldn't be an issue. Fellow bumper winner Kefir D'Oudairies looks the main danger given his debut effort in that sphere was boosted at Graded level in the spring. Wild Goose showed improved form last time and can complete the places following a wind op.
Below form when stepping up in trip and not staying at a stiff track, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Carlisle last time; more to come over fences and yard can get them ready after a break; the pick on balance of form.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good ground. Finished 14l behind Lady Babs when fifth of 7 at 11-4fav on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Carlisle over 2m 1f (good to soft) in February.

Not beaten too far over C&D on his most recent start when fourth, and a winner at Cartmel on his penultimate outing, DEXTER has done well since joining these connections and he may be able to strike for the seventh time in his career. A creditable third over track and trip in July before disappointing here last time out, En Avant remains open to improvement in this sphere, with the same being said of Onewayortother, who may be suited by dropping back in trip on his first run since last November.
An open race where MAVIS PIKE may be able to make a winning chase debut. She was progressive last year over hurdles and her last run is worth marking up as she kicked on far too soon. Her absence is a concern but her yard can get them ready after a break so she should be fit. En Avant is yet to match his hurdles form but the forecast rain could bring an improved effort for him and Dexter who has been in good form of late. That rival still has plenty of mileage in his mark based on his French form and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate.

Jazz De Cotte was all out to score by a length at Downpatrick in July and has since switched to the Donald McCain stable, so he warrants a market check. Iamcelestialgift won his sole outing at Carlisle in April and is respected, but KILBAKANTO gets the nod. Dan Skelton's point-to-point winner changed hands for 100,000 pounds and is a half-brother to hurdle/chase scorer Windance. If ready to go on his first outing under Rules, he could be the one to beat.
A strong early season novice can go to dual bumper winner AXEL BLEUE. He showed a willing attitude when defying a penalty last time and his 3m point win suggests he will relish this step up in trip on his hurdling debut. Court In A Storm is another who should appreciate the stamina test having needed every yard to win over 2m4f first time out. However the form of that race is weak and the biggest danger to the selection may come from Kilbakanto. That rival was a 3m point winner in Ireland and has joined a top stable.
A little below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; had been in good form previously. With the trainer also in form, he looks a value selection on balance of form on chase debut

Only 3lb separates the field on their hurdle ratings, so a tentative vote goes to COUNTRY MILE. The son of Ocovango was well beaten in Grade 1 company over the smaller obstacles at Aintree last December, but the fact he missed the remainder of the season suggests all wasn't well on that occasion. He might prove to be a different proposition over fences. Miami Magic finished in front of the selection in that event and is far from out of it for the in-form Stuart Edmunds team. Alnilam can beat Brentford Hope home for third.
A strong race where a case can be made for all of the chase debutants. BRENTFORD HOPE was the best of these over hurdles and with the forecast rain in his favour he should be able to make his class edge tell. Consistent handicapper Alnilam is feared most if he is able to resume patient tactics on his reappearance given there is plenty of early speed in this contest. Dual novice winner Country Mile isn't ruled out either with the promise of more to come judged on his point form.
Well backed when finishing 7l third in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Warwick on his latest start; may ideally prefer this easier ground.
Winner of three hurdle races and three NH flat races from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to heavy. Third of 6 behind Doyen Quest beaten 7l at 9-4 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Warwick over 3m 1f (good) in April. Having his first run for a new stable today.

Imperial Data failed to land the hat-trick when third at Perth, but that was still a fair effort and he has to be respected. Supremely West needs to be monitored in the market on his first appearance for the Dan Skelton yard, but WA WA gets the vote. Olly Murphy's veteran got up for second over track and trip in a warmer event in May and goes off an unchanged rating. If the son of Yeats is ready to go on his return, he could prove hard to beat.
SUPREMELY WEST can make a winning stable debut on the back of a wind op. He ran well fresh last year and the return to easy ground can see him defy top weight. Another who will relish this stamina test is 2024 Scottish National runner up Surrey Quest. He won first time out last year and is thrown in on his chase form so is hugely respected. The consistent Imperial Data has a fitness edge on his rivals and also rates a danger.

GAELIC PARK ran his best race over fences yet when a six-length third over C&D on his first start in over nine months and debuting for new connections. If taking a step forward in first-time cheekpieces, he could win his first race over the larger obstacles. Ali Star Bert has won here twice, once each over hurdles and fences, and as he has won elsewhere off higher marks he warrant plenty of respect, while Rostello drops a class and is another to consider.
FAITQUE DE L'ISLE hasn't had his ground on either start since his summer break but the forecast rain should ensure he gets it here and he can take advantage. He was twice and emphatic winner in the spring and looks well treated on those efforts so with an easy lead likely he will be tough to stop. Chase debutant Weir Lane is of interest at a big price as she is a point winner who is on a fair mark on her best hurdles form over the Irish Sea. She was unsuited by the drop to 2m here last time but should find this much more suitable. C&D winner Leading Force is also respected on his best summer form though he has tailed off recently.
Improved significantly from debut when 8 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Fontwell last time; effective at 2m on good to soft and good; expected to progress further.
Placed in two hurdle races and a NH flat race from five starts. Third of 10 behind Boston Boy beaten 9l at 18-1 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Fontwell over 2m 2f (good) in March.

Having put a below-par fourth behind him when coming home in good style over C&D last month, Diesel Line warrants respect on his current upward trajectory. However, the seven-year-old does require another career-best performance off an 8lb higher mark and fellow last-time-out winner DREAMS FLED AWAY edges the vote. Barry Brennan's inmate thwarted a hat-trick seeking rival at Bangor 30 days ago and similar positive tactics may see him following up. Handicap/seasonal debutant Surrey Lord is the pick of the remainder.
BELLS OF UFFORD proved inconsistent last term but he's on a fair mark judged on his best novice efforts and his jockey booking suggests a big run is expected on his reappearance. If he can brush up on his jumping he can account for last time out winner Dreams Fled Away who still has plenty of mileage in his mark judged on his flat form. The same can be said of Little Venice who is arguably the most interesting contender at a big price. She hasn't been knocked about on any of her hurdle starts to date and should be able to build on her reappearance where she travelled well to a point.
