FLAGON DRY gets a nice weight-for-age allowance and can make it count. A Southwell maiden winner on the level, he has made only a fair start to his hurdling career, although he did occupy the runner-up berth at Wetherby and could be fairly treated now stepping into a handicap. Much better is also expected from Delta Blues Belle now she is out of novice company, while Cumhacht will be dangerous if judged on his Ffos Las second rather than his subsequent heavy Doncaster defeat.
This is a trappy affair that might go to CUMHACHT. He had been in good form before not staying 2 1/2m on rain-softened ground last time. Back to 2m a return to form is on the cards. This Sway may threaten having run better back down to 2m last time. Rukaana is another that could get involved. He disappointed over hurdles after couple of good Flat runs last time but at his best is nicely treated at the weights.

Fountains Blenhein hung away his chance when turned over at odds-on at Plumpton and must concede weight to a couple of promising novices. Pottersville banished a terrible jumping debut at Newbury to the memory when demolishing her Exeter rivals, but a chance is taken on the fitness of ASSERTIVE WALK. The O'Neill's five-year-old made a debut full of promise when third at Chepstow in November 2024 and can play his part in his yard's recent resurgence.
POTTERSVILLE bolted up on her second hurdle start confirming promise in bumpers and will be hard to beat here. Fountains Blenhein has run well bith starts over timber and is a credible threat as is Firm But Fair who ran with promise on his debut.
Ran to form when beaten 4l off a 2lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time, seeing out the trip well after doing plenty early. Effective from 2m to 2½m on soft or good ground; generally consistent and unexposed at this trip.

Fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Trainer in form. Suited by trips around 2½m though has run well over further; not ideally suited by soft ground. Disappointing in her last two starts, but drop back in trip should help.

Almost two years on the sidelines has apparently done little to diminish LETS GO TO VEGAS' enthusiasm because she stuck her neck out admirably to prevail at Haydock. The third has won since to boost the form and, as long as she doesn't bounce, Alastair Ralph's mare can follow up. Bobbi With An I has been sent off favourite the last twice and her Wincanton second suggested her turn is imminent. Looking As You Are is expected to run her usual honest race, with Game Colours in with a shout too.
Quite a decent mares' event that may go to LETS GO TO VEGAS. She looked to be in need of this trip when winning at Haydock over 2 1/4m last time. Bobbi With An I continued to progress at Wincanton on her latest start and looks a contender again here and Jasmine D'Airy can bounce back down in class having been progressive before coming unstuck having a tilt at Listed level.

Bond Broker will try to put his experience to good use after three starts over fences, but he has been beaten a long way each time and it would be no surprise if KOUKEO made a winning start over the larger obstacles. A hurdles winner at Exeter, he is related to plenty of winning chasers in France and gets to race here off bottom weight. Norn Iron may prove his biggest threat if he brushes up his jumping after his Warwick second.
NORN IRON looks the one to be with in this competitive little novice handicap. He made a good start over fences and is open to improvement based on his hurdling form. Admiral Stewart won at Sandown first time over fences but disappointed up in trip at Southwell last time. If jumping better he'd contend returned to 2m here. Bond Broker has a solid profile over hurdles and fences and could also get involved.

Well backed and close to form when fourth beaten 9l off 113 last time. Blinkers on for the first time; effective 2m–2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground, and probably has more to come over fences.
A winner of a chase at 2m 4f on good ground. Finished 9l behind Pilsdon Pen when fourth of 7 at 15-8fav on his latest outing in a chase at Wincanton over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year. He is wearing blinkers for the first time.

Toothless disappointed when only fifth at Wincanton after a bad mistake five out, but he is better than that and could be worth another chance. Mister Cessna is a relative youngster at the age of five, and he can go close based on recent evidence, but preference is for SHANTOU LUCKY. Only beaten a neck off 2lb higher at Fakenham in a similar race last month, a repeat of that may be all he needs.
SHANTOU LUCKY came back to form down to 2m5f last time and has strong claims over a similar trip here. Kalif d'Airy was well backed last time and ran pretty well without justifying that support. Head gear might bring a bit more here. Third best might be Joe Cotton who is ultra-consistent.
Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow on his penultimate start but found little and ran below form on softer ground last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and on soft or good ground; progressive until latest, though his mark now looks stiff.
Has won six hurdle races, a NH flat race and a chase from 1m 6f to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to soft. Well beaten at 11-2 behind Bear Market when last of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 2m 4f (soft) in December last year.

HARTINGTON just edges it on the basis that it was a really competitive handicap hurdle he finished a neck second in at Haydock in November. He's been given time to get over those exertions and makes slightly more appeal than Wellington Arch, who sparkled at Aintree last season before running a mighty race in defeat at the Punchestown Festival. Guard Duty is noted too.
A very competitive and tricky handicap. Preference is for GUARD DUTY who is progressive. The slight concern is whether this will be a stiff enough test for him. Castle Carrock presents as the biggest danger having come down when looking likely to be second last time and having decent graded form in the book. At a price East India Express could figure if he can get his jumping together. Hartington also has an obvious chance
Much better than the bare form when backing up an easy debut win over fences, landing a handicap by 11l off an 11lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Effective up to 3m2f, acts on soft and good to soft; more to come over fences.
She has won two chases and a point-to-point from 3m to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to soft to soft. Won on her latest outing in a chase when 9-4fav at Uttoxeter over 3m (soft) in November last year, beating Fortunefavorsdbold by 11l. Has also won at Fontwell this season.

FORTUNE DANCER might be all the rage in the finale and punters will be hoping she arrives in the same form as when bolting up at Uttoxeter in November. 2-2 over fences and with the yard in such good nick, it's really difficult to get away from the Soldier Of Fortune mare. The dangers are Bridget Mary and All Authorized.
FORTUNE DANCER has been a revelation over fences and is hard to oppose here. Bridget Mary looks the most likely danger having run well a couple of times over the bigger obstacles before disappointing last time over hurdles. Third best looks to be Flintara who hinted at a return to better form last time.
