My other selection in this. Won this contest last season off a 3 lb lower mark and has kept a bit of a low profile in his runs for this yard this year. Has the benefit of O Murphy in the saddle and he makes plenty of each way appeal.

One of two I fancy in this. Marshman has to defy his highest ever handicap rating today, with his only handicap win coming over CD off 102. He finds himself on 110 today, but he's been performing well in listed company on his last three starts, finishing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in those three starts. Good effort on turf last time out behind higher-rated horses, and despite the tough mark, I'd still expect a big run today.

Only the one success so far in a weak contest at Southwell over this trip. Finished 3rd last time out to So Darn Hot at Lingfield, running on late to be beaten 1¾ lengths when receiving 2lb. That showed he was progressing nicely, and on this track, he could well reverse the form. Makes each-way appeal for the Balding yard, who come into this with a strong hand.

Needs to show a bit more progress today in order to take this listed prize. Only has a maiden hurdle victory to her name earlier this season and was no match for Jasmine Bliss next time out at Southwell. Narrowly denied in a valuable mares' handicap at Newbury last time out but was unlucky that day having been hampered early on by a faller. Gets 5lb off the favorite but still needs a bit more. Wouldn't be the biggest surprise if she found it today.

Last year's runner-up in this event but hasn't shown anything like that form so far this season. Has finished behind Lagonda on her last 2 starts & was pulled up on reappearance at Ffos Las previously. Hope taken that she's 3lb lower than last year's effort & the return to this scene brings about a much better effort. Each way possibilities if she can produce her best but requires a leap of faith on this season's efforts.

Did well on turf last season following two early season wins on the all-weather at Southwell. Contested some valuable handicaps and bagged a win in the Shergar Cup at Ascot off a 3lb lower mark, as well as winning an earlier handicap over CD. Soft ground wouldn't have suited on his final start at Ascot, and he holds decent claims in this, having gone well first time out before.

The stable has a decent record in this, though not as successful in recent renewals. The majority of his best form has come on flat tracks, and he looked a pure stayer last time out at Doncaster when finishing runner-up over 3m 2f. Up 2lb, but looks a natural for this type of contest and represents one of the UK's best hopes against the W Mullins bandwagon.

Scope for more improvement, only being a 5-year-old, and this is only his 7th outing. Ground conditions should suit and he has plenty going for him.

Looks the type to have been laid out for this, having had a light season winning on reappearance at Kempton in November and subsequently finishing runner-up on both his other starts at Ascot and Windsor. He has continued to go up in the ratings and runs here off 139, so he will need to put in a career-best today, but his overall form is rock solid this season.

Won on chase debut at Wincanton in January before finishing runner-up to Eyed when giving him 8lb at Kempton the following month. Only beaten a length that day and gets a 6lb pull today. Needs to put a pulled-up effort last time out at the same track behind him, and if he can, then he's an each-way chance at almost twice the price of Eyed.

2x winner in France prior to coming to these shores. Yet to win since, but put in a decent performance last time out in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham on debut for this yard. Only faded late on that day, finishing 7th of 22, and this represents a drop in class. Has to prove effectiveness on a quicker surface, but I can't see this ground being much different to Cheltenham if the going forecast is correct.

Well held in 2 runs as a 2-year-old towards the backend of last season, he appeared to have improved over the winter when putting in a better effort here over 6f on his reappearance. Only beaten 2 necks that day, and he may well improve for the step up to 7f this evening. James Tate's debutante commands respect, but he wasn't an expensive purchase, and hopefully, my selection can make his experience count.

Only victory came over CD back in May last year. That came off a mark of 95, but he was competitive off higher in subsequent runs until disappointing at Market Rasen in August. Only had one outing since, which came at Ludlow in October, finishing 4th of 9. Not seen since, clearly waiting for quicker ground. Has gone well fresh previously, and his mark has come down to 100. Might need this, but not out of it if ready to go.

0/6 over fences so far, but went close here over further in December, finishing runner-up off a 1lb higher mark. Possibly needed the run at Chepstow last time out last month, having not run since the effort here. Slight concern about the drop in trip today, but did win here over 3m over hurdles, his only success so far, so not the most reliable.

Multi-code performer who kicks off his flat campaign for this season on a 3lb higher mark than when winning over CD back in October. His latest run came over fences last month, so fitness shouldn't be a problem. He may prefer slightly easier ground, but there are not many in this who can be given a leading chance, and he should run well.

Has run pretty consistently this season, bar a disappointing run when sent off as favorite two starts ago. Finished 3rd last time out at Leopardstown in a similar event. Upped 1lb for that effort but should be capable of bagging a prize such as this off this mark.

Rated 4lb lower than L'eau Du Sud and ran poorly in a Grade 1 last time out at Sandown, but that did come on very heavy ground. Had previously scored back-to-back wins in novice handicaps at Newbury and Cheltenham. Skipped the festival where L'eau Du Sud did not. Comes into this fresher than that rival who's much respected, and that may give him the edge in this.

Going to go against the Irish runners as there's just too many of them with a chance. Instead, I'm going to back the English-trained runners, starting with this 7-year-old who's undoubtedly well-handicapped on his form last season behind Inothewayurthinkin. He has to prove his stamina today, but he shapes like a stayer, and he's had this as his target all season. Inexperience may count against him, and it may come a season too soon, but the stable has been pretty bullish about him for a while, and his prep at Kelso was a fair effort.

Has stamina to prove at this trip, but he clearly likes this place, being unbeaten in his 3 runs here so far. Finished 3rd of 11 off this mark at Cheltenham on his penultimate start but was a tad disappointing last time out at Kempton. Prepared to forgive that run on his return to this track. Excellent chance if he stays.

Unbeaten under rules so far and comes into this on the back of 2 wins from 2 hurdling this season. Easy winner at short odds on hurdling debut at Huntingdon. He followed up at Newbury in February again very easily. Much tougher task stepping into graded company but looks very promising and he's already proven at the trip.

The stable could be in better form, but this 7-year-old has already tasted success on these shores this season, winning at Ayr in January. Finished a close-up 3rd at Exeter next time out, then on his latest start scored at Down Royal with an easy success in a handicap. More to do off this mark, but looks sure to improve stepping up in trip. Makes plenty of each-way appeal.
