SERIOUS CHAT gained a second victory over timber at Bangor last month and the 5lb rise for that success is negated by Charlie Maggs' allowance. The six-year-old may well have more to offer compared to his rivals and gets a confident vote to prove a cut above the opposition. Striking A Pose may well benefit from returning to a sounder surface after his fourth at Newton Abbot last time, while Royal Rhythm has plenty to find on recent evidence.
Not much between the trio who all have different profiles. The progressive Serious Chat is unexposed and likely to prove popular after a last time out win on just his second start at 3m. However the thorough stayer may not get the test he needs with STRIKING A POSE likely to get an easy time up front. His strike rate is a concern but he arrives in good form and has won off higher marks in the past. This track suits frontrunners and he can see off both of his rivals. Royal Rhythm is on a fair mark but has big concerns regarding the quick ground and his stamina.
Seemed to be on stiff mark comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m here last time where jumped poorly; generally out of form; not proven trip; unlikely alternative
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 4f to 2m 7f on good and yielding ground, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Moonlight Artist when sixth of 8 on his latest outing in a chase here over 3m (good) last month.

The wheels had appeared to fall off DOYEN QUEST having looked a hurdler firmly on the upgrade when impressing at Cheltenham last November. Dan Skelton's gelding bounced back to form here at the end of the season and only needs a clear round on his chasing debut to score, especially with the opposition so thin on the ground. Calagogo is preferred to Fromposttopillar in the battle for second.
Impossible to see past useful handicap hurdler DOYEN QUEST on his chase debut. He won off 131 over timer last time leaving him more than 40lb clear of these rivals on ratings. If his jumping holds up he will come home in isolation. Fromposttopillar may pick up the pieces and runner up position on his rules return if back to his best summer form.

Having previously struggled to perform on softer ground, ANYTRIXWILLDO returned to form at Taunton last month when benefiting also from the application of cheekpieces. The O'Neills' gelding has conditions in his favour again and a 3lb rise shouldn't be a barrier to further success. Moonlight Artist scored over C&D on his latest start and is capable of being in the mix, along with Hereford winner Cave Article.
ANYTRIXWILLDO appreciated the fast surface when off the mark over fences last time and with plenty of mileage in his mark still on his hurdle form he is taken to follow up. He gets to race off a lower mark than last time when his jockey's claim is taken into account and he should get a nice tow into it from Grillon De Monty. That rival hinted at a revival last time despite meeting trouble and is well treated on his old hurdle form. If getting into a rhythm he will be dangerous as will the unexposed Chateu Du Lys who was never put into the race last time but whose point form suggests he is capable of better.
Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow most recent; not proven trip; difficult to fancy and needs this for a mark

COBBLER'S BOY was a good second to a subsequent winner over this trip at Southwell in March and having undergone wind surgery since, the lightly-raced five-year-old could be tough to overhaul with another step forward. Big Boy Barney, who won his only start in a point-to-point, has shown some promise in a couple of course bumpers and should have a big say on his hurdling bow. Fellow pointing recruit Foxy's Friend is another to monitor closely in the betting market.
Impossible to oppose COBBLER'S BOY here who represents a top local yard and sets a clear standard on his debut runner up effort. That form was boosted by the winner in a top handicap after and a replication of that run will make the selection tough to beat. His sole danger looks to be point winner Big Boy Barney who showed useful form in bumpers at this track.
Landed a handicap by a length off 122 over 2m3f here last time; autumn form franked; hugely progressive; probably bit to come; every chance in tight contest
He has won four hurdle races from 2m 3f to 2m 5f on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 10-1 in a hurdle race here over 2m 3f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Bowenspark by 1l.

DEEP PURPLE is progressing nicely, as evidenced by the 22-length winning margin of his maiden success at Chepstow last month. An opening rating of 119 looks fair for his handicap debut and the son of Soldier Of Fortune can help to keep the good form of Dan Skelton's stable rolling. Prince Imperial is an obvious threat back up in trip after completing a hat-trick of wins with a course success over 2m3f last month. Tarahumara can claim third over old rival Mammies Boy.
Tarahumara was a winner here last time with MAMMIES BOY in behind but may struggle to confirm that form. The selection arguably travelled better that day before his fitness gave way and he wasn't given a hard time. Not only does he get a weight pull, he gets a further 7lb claimed and remains unexposed over trips this far. Progressive dual purpose performer Prince Imperial looks the biggest danger in his bid for a 4 timer. His autumn form has worked out well and he benefitted from a patient ride off a decent pace here last time. The other runner Deep Purple has seen his debut form franked at the top level and isn't ruled out either in a tight contest on handicap debut.
Yard won this last year; third beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden over 3m at Borris House debut; hood first time; returning from long layoff; yard does well here and get them ready first time; likely type
Third of 10 behind Moneygarrow beaten 3 1/2l at 7-2fav on his racecourse debut at Borris House over 3m in April last year. He is wearing a hood and a tongue-tie for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Sean Thomas Doyle in Ireland.

Diamond Ambition is likely to be a popular choice given he represents the powerhouse yard that won this race last year. However, the five-year-old has already had wind surgery and connections feel the need to fit a hood and a tongue-tie. With that in mind, a chance is taken on Tom George's newcomer CATERPILLAR GIRL, whose dam was a useful hurdler/chaser and there are plenty of winners in her bloodlines. Emerald Time has bumper experience and is the pick of the remainder.
A strong bumper to close the card where point winner LADIES DAY may be the answer. She was an impressive winner in that sphere and was well fancied for a race at Cheltenham before being withdrawn last month. Newcomer Caterpillar Girl is also respected given her yard's last winner was a classy looking debutant in this sphere. Emerald Time has already shown some decent form under rules travelling strongly on debut. He could complete the tricast.
