A match race and it looks best to side with GOT GREY. Dan Skelton's gelding has yet to prove himself at this trip but he's only had two starts over the larger obstacles so far and although open to further improvement, they could go slow here and his turn of foot could be his main weapon. Northern Bound has won eight times over fences and is unlikely to go down without a fight.
Not the easiest 2-horse race to navigate, but NORTHERN BOUND looks the best chance here. He has won over CD and gets favoured conditions. He was back from a break last time and should improve for that. Got Grey won on Chase debut but was down the field last time, he has done all of his winning over shorter so does have stamina to prove, but is unexposed over fences and may well improve.
Below form when finishing down the field off a stiff mark in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recently; could figure here.
Winner of five hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Beaten 20l behind Greyval at 40-1 when 14th of 16 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Cheltenham over 2m 4f (good) in April.

Soft ground wouldn't have been ideal for Anyharminasking at Cartmel last time out but he returns to better ground on the back of a short absence and is capable of bouncing back. The son of Getaway has previous chasing experience on his side and should be too good for All The Glory, but BEAU QUALI could be the one. Dan Skelton's charge has yet to break his duck, but progress looks a real possibility now sent over fences.
Another tricky small field to call here with two debutants over fences, both of which have chances. All The Glory was below form when last seen at Cheltenham but this is a drop in grade so should go better. The other is BEAU QUALI who has been running well despite not managing to get his head in front over hurdles, becoming a shade frustrating but if taking to the step up in trip has a big chance for the Skelton team. Anyharminasking needs to bounce back from a poor effort.

JACKSTELL went close on a number of occasions last season and looks to have a leading chance. Jamie Snowden's charge landed a bumper at Tipperary and it is possible that he's improved again this summer. Queensworthy finished second at Bangor last month and is sure to go close, along with Uncle Remus, who didn't run too badly on his hurdling debut at Worcester.
QUEENSWORTHY wasn't given a hard time and looks likely to improve further, he has already won on hurdles debut and may have won next time if not falling so he is worth keeping on the right side of. Jackstell has been ultra-consistent in his short career and should give another good account here, albeit he has probably looked better over further and bumper winner American Empire should improve in his second start over hurdles.

CRYSTAL SPRING shapes as though she will relish going up in trip and she can strike at the sixth time of asking. That may be at the main expense of Keppel Queen, who makes her first start for the Olly Murphy yard on the back of a creditable second over further at Worcester in May. An intriguing newcomer for the Twiston-Davies team, Haylley's Comet is one to monitor for market support.
Keppel Queen has been knocking at the door for some time and is dropped back in trip here over 2m4f for the first time, which may be the key. But it's worth siding with CRYSTAL SPRING here who has been impressive in her opening two starts over hurdles, having improved on her bumper form can go one better than her third and second places here, she has stayed on well at the finish in both and will hope to get the fractions right here. Girl Of Gold is one of slight interest away from the front 2.

A taking winner over C&D back in May, CRYSTAL GLANCE narrowly sets the standard on form and a third win in four starts could be in the offing off a 4lb higher mark. Doc McCoy led for the majority of the race before being worn down late on over further at Bangor last month, and he should be suited by dropping back in trip. Mostly Sunny is another to bear in mind.
This looks a tricky little handicap to call with plenty of chances. ARQOOB has been in good form on the flat though, in some decent handicaps, the addition of blinkers looks to have had an impact and they are retained back over hurdles - he has a good chance based on his flat form. Crystal Glance is another with obvious claims, she won here when last seen in May and was in top order prior to that with another win and a close 2nd. Mostly Sunny has been in and around the places since winning in April and can do better back down in trip.
Outpaced and below debut form when well beaten in a bumper at Worcester last time; effective over 2m on a sound surface.
Unplaced in both NH starts. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Trigg when eighth of 10 on his latest outing in a NH flat race at Worcester over 2m (good to soft) last month.

Related to multiple Grade 1 winner Klassical Dream, RODDERS may well be primed to strike on debut for connections that know how to ready one and have an excellent record at this track. Of those with experience, Hopeless Dancer sets the standard following a promising third at Worcester last month, while Aj's Diamond is best judged on her runner-up effort over C&D in February.
AJ'S DIAMOND gets the tentative nod here, she made a promising debut over 2m and didn't take to the step up in trip last time, if replicating her debut effort should go close. Bathara was another who made a promising debut and should improve second time out and newcomer Rodders is from a top stable and will be well fancied on his debut effort here. Hopeless Dancer is another who should improve for the run and can challenge for places.
