With four places on offer here, I'll take some decent odds for Johnny Portman's four-year-old Advertise gelding who's shown decent enough form in better races than this of late. Not beaten far when last seen at Kempton in November. Equally at home on turf and the AW, and goes well fresh as here. He resumes on turf with the same mark, the estimable Rob Hornby aboard, and the yard won this last year with stable star Sweet Reward, so this one has the potential to have a big say in a race of this nature.

John and Thady Gosden's 4yo Cracksman gelding caught my eye when slowly away in a strongly run 1m maiden at Doncaster in September. He was last until pushed along two furlongs out, then showed a turn of foot to run through the field and finish a closing third, beaten a neck. He followed that up with a decent enough run at HQ, then was off the mark LTO at Chelmsford by a considerable distance. He looks useful and will stay ten furlongs, perhaps further, and is well placed for his handicap debut.

James Fanshawe's 4-year-old son of Dark Angel beat the reopposing Shout on April 11 here at Newbury over 7f last year before an injury put him on the sidelines. He managed to get back for the second half of the campaign, running creditable races at Goodwood, Doncaster and Kempton. He didn’t win after his setback but always acquitted himself well in races that have worked out nicely. Still looks well handicapped and should be very much involved.

I will eventually go off a cliff with this 8-year-old Milan gelding, who was a four-time runner-up in five Irish PTPs over 2023??"24. Though he didn’t show a great deal in three starts over hurdles in maiden/novice company, he's always looked more of a one for the larger obstacles, with plenty to like about his physique. Initially given a rating of 92, he's now at 75 after a very decent performance a couple of weeks ago at Carlisle, just 2 lengths behind the winner, who went in NTO. He receives weight from most here, and if he came out of that race fine and any of the talent remains, he surely must come good at some point.

With five places on offer here, I'll take a shot with Eve Johnson Houghton's six-year-old Saxon Warrior gelding, who was beaten just three lengths off a 1 lb higher mark at Kempton last time out. That was his first run back this term, so he should strip fitter now. The handicapper has finally relented and he's dropped in class. He should be in with a shot here.

Carries top weight here, but Nicky Richards' 7-year-old Getaway gelding has proved himself adept over hurdles. For example, last time out he didn't get a clear run, so he was better than the bare result shows when finishing second by 0.75 lengths in a novice hurdle here, last seen 364 days ago. The yard is going well, and it's a telling sign he is sent chasing on his return. He's always given the impression that going chasing would bring out the best in him.

The Crisford's 3yo Earthlight gelding held his head a touch high through greenness but came from well back to nick the win in a maiden at Kempton on debut (subsequent winner in behind and the second looks a very nice Balding prospect, Generic). It looks like the fast ground will suit his action and there should be plenty more to come.

Nicky Henderson's 4yo Planteur gelding won on his debut at Hereford in November and improved further LTO to defy a penalty when winning a 4yo hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee by 15 lengths just 11 days ago. Assuming all OK after those exertions, with further progress likely, he's worth the slight step up in class here, and a decent 7-pound claimer aboard makes him the one to beat.

Taking a risk with this one who's a big price. He had won 3 of his previous 5 starts until he was well beaten in a Conditionals Handicap Hurdle at Newbury most recently, but he didn't get a good run, having been hampered and never threatened. He gets Ciaran Gethings back on board today. He'd been progressive until that latest run, and there are viable excuses for that performance.

Gary and Josh Moore's 5yo Mondialiste gelding landed the Imperial Cup at Sandown by 1.5 lengths off a 10 lb lower mark last time out, despite nearly falling at the last. He won by 33 lengths on his only spin around here back in February and looks to still be progressing. The yard has a 21% strike rate here and must be in the mix.

On ratings and on the eye test, surely Jack Channon's 6yo Cityscape mare is the one to cause the favourite the most trouble here. She won the Prix du Cercle - Don Juan Cuneo Solari Listed Stakes at Deauville (under Rob Hornby, as today) last August and had a pipe-opener at Southwell two weeks ago. She's second on ratings and should be bang there.

Now he's drifted to a reasonable each-way price. I'll fire on Tony Barrow's 6yo, who has the very capable Saffie Osborne aboard. He was unlucky to bump into subsequent Group 1 and Group 2 winners when third in this contest 12 months ago. He has a win over C&D here and is generally best to catch at the start of his campaign, as here.

Ralph Beckett's 5-year-old son of Sea The Moon won a Class 2 over 2m when last seen about a year ago at Newbury off a 3 lb lower mark. The long absence is a concern, but if he's ready to go ??" and surely the trainer would not have sent him all the way to Scotland just "to get a run into him" ??" then it would be no surprise to see him play a leading role once again here.

Rebecca Menzies' 7yo Elusive Pimpernel gelding scored by a short head off a 6 lb lower mark at Catterick three starts back. Disappointing after that, he returned to form when runner-up in a series final here 12 days ago. He makes plenty of appeal off just a 1 lb higher mark, especially with the extra yardage unlikely to be an issue.

This 7yo Shirocco gelding won the Grade 2 Supreme Trial Rossington Main Novices' Hurdle at Haydock last January but rather struggled thereafter and didn't take to chasing. This represents a big drop in class, and a return to this venue where he won two bumpers and a maiden hurdle could revive him following a wind op.

This 6-year-old Saxon Warrior gelding has 2 wins and 1 third place from his 4 runs over C&D here and has won or placed in all starts at this Class 3 level. Although he rather struggled LTO when beaten 9 lengths in a handicap at Windsor when last seen in August, I think the return to this venue and drop in class will see him in a much better light.

This 5-year-old son of Gleneagles has won eight races from 1m 1f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy and on the all-weather.

High-class 5yo gelding who won the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes last year at Ascot, and is well clear on ratings against his adversaries here. He's by far the best-qualified sprinter in the contest, and if this were a handicap he’d be required to give away 5 to 17 lb to the others. Gets on well with James Doyle and should be doing the business.

Decent odds given he just edged out the favourite over an extended 6.5 furlongs in the Turf Sprint at Saudi last time out. That came after winning a Listed race at Gulfstream and finishing fourth in last year’s Breeders' Turf Sprint before that. Looks the main threat with Buick piloting, if enjoying his first spin on a straight course.

Karl Burke's 8yo son of Vadamos is generally pretty solid at this level. He's run well at Group level, and back at Listed he's very effective. He won this last year and won the Listed Wentworth Stakes here by three lengths on his last run (under today's jockey). He is at his best at this 6f trip. The penalty and drying ground are a slight concern, but he will be bang there.

Sam Thomas' 7-to Manatee gelding is difficult to oppose in the opener, despite having to concede weight to the field. He boasts some smart bumper form and won on his hurdling debut at Chepstow before a disappointing effort when upped in trip and grade at Doncaster LTO. But now dropped into much calmer waters and eased in distance, he can get back on track here.

She carries top weight here but does so for a reason. Nicky Henderson's 6yo mare is a top-class horse who makes her handicap debut here and should be well ahead of her opening mark. She was talked up for the County Hurdle ahead of Cheltenham last week but was too low in the weights to get a run, and this valuable prize appears to be well within her compass. She had a fair bit in hand when winning a novice hurdle at Market Rasen by 2 lengths LTO and should have more to offer now handicapping.

Jaimie Snowden's 6-year-old New Approach gelding has competed in some very decent races in his short career to date. Although he was rather outclassed when upped in grade in the Don Lockwood Sidney Banks Memorial Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Huntingdon LTO and was comfortably held, the yard is in form. Dropped down in class on handicap debut, he makes a lot of appeal here.

Joe Tizzard's 5-year-old Walk In The Park gelding has done very little wrong in his career. He won on his hurdles debut at Exeter and has put in solid runs in defeat since. I suspect he'll find the favourite too good again here, but he arrives on the back of a narrow defeat at Exeter and is likely to be in the thick of the action once more.

The O'Neill's 6yo Kayf Tara gelding won his sole PtP start by a long way and looked a classy sort. He was rather outpaced but rallied in a very promising debut at Wincanton in January, looking in need of a stiffer test, finishing fourth and beaten 13 lengths in a maiden hurdle. That form has been franked emphatically, and here, off a short break, he should improve for this step up in trip.
