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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
