Progressive across both codes and his latest second at Fontwell couldn't have worked out any better. The winner and third both scored next time and a 1lb rise for Henrietta Knight's charge looks extremely lenient to me. Should be favourite in my book. It is actually 4/1 after the original fav was taken out, which is extremely fair.

Honestly, I think that the current favorite, Couldbeaweapon, wouldn't have won last time if the pace-setter hadn't fallen. RADHARC NA SLAINE improved with first-time cheekpieces to score at Stratford, and he really wasn't disgraced when subsequently fifth over an inadequate 2m4f at Worcester. This trip is much more like it and it's a no-brainer at the prices.

Her C&D victory here last season has worked out extremely well and I've no doubt in my mind that a 5lb higher mark looks lenient. The only question mark is how fit is the five-year-old on her return to action, but the stable seem to be in decent heart at present and she would be my favourite.

Started off his novice chase campaign here last season with some real promise, but the wheels fell off after falling at this venue in mid-December. A lot to like about the seven-year-old returning to hurdles, effectively 6lb below his last winning mark at Fontwell, which worked out pretty well. The more rain, the better.

Caught the eye on his fourth-placed reappearance over an inadequate 2m4f at Worcester last month and that should have put him spot-on for this follow-up run. Dan Skelton's horses have been displaying the benefit of a run this season, with Cheltenham Grade 2 winner Fortune De Mer a prime example earlier on today. There should be improvement on the cards and Dan sounds optimistic in his blog.

The only horse to give handicap blot Shantou Lucky a race over hurdles, now 34lb higher in the handicap. That was the selection's first run for 295 days, perfectly entitled to come on for that return to action, with first-time cheekpieces looking like a good move too.

No idea what the books are doing with some of their pricing at Perth and this is another that they are taking a real risk on. He was well backed on his return last month, but lost all chance when making a bad mistake midway through the race. On his final start last season, he looked a winner in waiting and I like to think he will enjoy the slower tempo over 3m and get his jumping together.

The price of JEFE TRIUNFO is just hard to comprehend. Finished a very respectable third in Fixed Brush Final at Worcester last month, particularly when you look at the horses he had in behind. You have to ask yourself the question, would anything in this race have done any better? I'm not sure they would have and the six-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes given his stable's fine form at the present. Personally believe it should be favourite.

This looks pretty open, but a couple do stand out at the current prices. Starting with AS FAST AS WIND, who was narrowly pipped for second by a rival chasing a four-timer over hurdles last time at Fontwell, with the winner subsequently scoring a shade cosily at Worcester off effectively a 10lb higher mark. I think reverting to 2m will suit the five-year-old, who was a touch too keen over an extended 2m1f last time.

One of two selections in here for me. BOHEMENIAN BREEZE has posted three creditable efforts in defeat over hurdles and an official rating of 100 on his handicap bow in this discipline looks workable. The five-year-old has been holding his form on the Flat of late and Freddie Mitchell does take off a handy 5lb, which could prove fruitful.

I did this last time, where I think it's fair to say that the main aim was to give him a nice introduction to chasing. Although the five-year-old made plenty of novicey mistakes, he ran a nice race to finish a never-nearer third behind reopposing winner Superstylin, who warrants respect at the front of the market. However, the selection does enjoy an 8lb swing with Chris Gordon's charge and is a decent e/w alternative at the current prices.

I'm not convinced that Ian Williams' charge has improved, with the veteran making more appeal to me at the prices.

Although we haven't seen him since a fourth-placed effort at Warwick, the form of that is really strong. He looked the second best horse that day behind a horse who is now something like 40lb higher in the handicap. I mentioned Sheila Lewis having her string in good order the other day, Iron Dex was just too keen to see out a step up in distance, and if this one returns in the same form then he would hold a big chance.

Given that stablemate Unspeakable looks to have a decent enough chance, you'd like to think the fact that Jack Tudor has remained loyal to Captains Pick means something. The seven-year-old has filled the fourth spot on his last two completed starts over hurdles and looks just the type to improve for going over fences. Christian Williams' charge is also 7lb below his last winning mark and looks a bit too big for me.

Although IRON DEX has yet to score at this course, he has posted plenty of good efforts here and is very appealing off a career-low mark. The seven-year-old scored on his seasonal debut last season and, with his yard in decent form with their 'winter' horses, I see a 184-day absence as a positive. This is the time of year to be doing Sheila Lewis' charge and I am sure we will see an improved performance back on some quicker ground.

He looked to have had enough for the season following that performance and they couldn't give him away in the betting on his return to action behind a handicap blot at Worcester last month. I like to think that the five-year-old will have come on a bundle and he shapes as if he has been crying out for this step up in distance.

I actually did this when winning on his second start of the season at Fontwell in November last year and he's taken a similar path again as seen when pulling up at Stratford last month. He also won second time out in 2022 and he clearly just really needs his first run back. The eight-year-old finished a good third over C&D off a 5lb higher mark last December and I'm sure we will see him trying to make all.

I wouldn't usually involve myself with something at this price, but he really was a big eye-catcher on his third-placed debut at Kempton. The form of that race couldn't have worked out any better, and that experience could prove decisive. Hopefully, he breaks better this time, and this longer straight can only help.

There is no denying that this race is scarily open. However, I do think that if anything is well ahead then it would be I AIN'T YOUR MATE. The five-year-old was only a neck behind top prospect El Cairos in his second PTP and they looked to be after a handicap mark judged on how quickly he was turned out in his three qualifying runs. Connections did go to 120,000 pound to acquire him and his latest fourth in February suggested to me that he should be better than an opening mark of 101.

Whenever you see a switcher to Skelton it's the first thing you check out. We've seen better stable changers, but we've also seen Dan turn round worse horses. The handicapper has been kind in leaving the six-year-old off the same mark as what she had in Ireland and I honestly don't think this race is that good. Dan seems hopeful enough in his blog, reporting that "she's done plenty of work and shouldn't be far away".

I've seen a comment or two that people think he was flattered by his latest run at Warwick, but I liked the run as the trip was too sharp for him. I don't think this race will take much winning, and Murray gets to claim his full 7lb, with this longer trip likely to help. Win only, would have been a decent e/w if 3 places.

He showed his hurdles bow at Plumpton to be all wrong when finishing a good second behind a subsequent winner at Chepstow in late April. Described as 'immature' last season, the five-year-old is just the type to improve for a summer on his back. The current front three in the betting have yet to race over hurdles in public and this yard tend to have their winter horses more forward than other yards. All in all, the son of Yeats has a far better chance than these early odds suggest.

Hard to fault this horse's record at this course, hitting the frame on his last three outings here. Although he weakened at Cartmel in July, better is expected reverting to this track, more so following a wind procedure and the refitting of cheekpieces. The nine-year-old will pop up here at some point and is well worth chancing at double-figured prices.

Going for a Dutch. Following the money on this stable debutant, who has a decent record at this venue. Although he hasn't won since December 2022, he did post a respectable fourth here the following December off a 5lb higher mark than today. A change of scenery could be just the thing to perk him up, and the fact that b365 have cut him into 13/2 suggests that someone has had a large bet.

Caught the eye a couple of times in his qualifying runs, certainly not knocked about. I must admit that the opening mark looks higher than his bare form, but there are quite a few positives. Firstly, 33 days to get him as fit as a flea. They've only sent three runners here in the past five seasons, with two of those winning. It's an awful long way to send one runner for them, and I'm expecting a big performance.

This certainly isn't a bad race, with the favourite 6lb well-in. However, that could have taken something out of him and MISS KASSIOPI is a very good switcher. The previous trainer managed only 1 hurdle winner from 48 attempts and I can tell you that her new handler has certainly enjoyed more success than that. Moreover, the six-year-old does enjoy some cut in the ground, which could prove decisive here, not to mention that she is only 1lb higher than her close-up second at Stratford in March.

One of two plays. ASLUKGOES looked to have a bright future ahead of him when landing a Listed bumper at Newbury in February 2023, but clearly he's had a few issues with how little we've seen him since. The seven-year-old came good in a 2m novice hurdle at Worcester in July, which has worked out well, but he was too bad to be true on his handicap bow at that venue the following month. The son of Yorgunnabelucky could, of course, bomb again, but the yard seems to be in good heart and hopefully he can resume his progress over hurdles. 10/1 tops with Paddy.

Racing off a career-high mark, no blinkers and making his stable debut for a lesser yard, Tropical Speed is worth taking on at 11/8 tops. I've plumped for TOUCHWOODEXPRESS, who won on his seasonal debut over fences at Huntingdon last October in good style and this is the time of year to be backing the Twiston-Davies' horses. I like to think that reverting to timber will also help the six-year-old as he just made too many mistakes over the larger obstacles.

I just want to say that St Patricks Bridge is far too short on stable bow (for a yard who hasn't had a winner) and most of these look too big. I just think that CROOKBARROW needs to be given another chance. He was run off his feet over an inadequate extended 2m3f distance over hurdles at Bangor and I like to think we will see a different proposition over 3m/fences with blinkers refitted. It still remains a really good switcher and do not be surprised if this goes off favourite.

Dutching in this race as two look like they could be a fair bit ahead of the handicapper. I actually fancy this a little less, but the price is under pressure at present, so it looks like now or never. Impressed with how quickly she made the ground up to score over C&D last time, and I'm sure she will do better than an official rating of 113. If I was being critical, her jumping is a little risky, which is something to bear in mind.
