An open event in which plenty will fancy their chances, so only a tentative vote can go to AWAYTHELAD. He was beaten only four lengths by the now 133-rated Crambo over C&D last November, but was unable to go on thereafter. Ben Pauling's charge looks extremely well treated on that performance, though, and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward today. Others to note include Immortal, Ed Keeper and Idem.

Competitive fare with IDEM getting the vote on his handicap debut. He has race-fitness on his side, impressive when scoring over further at Kelso last time, and can progress further. Immortal promises to do better in handicaps this term and is bound to be popular for Nicky Henderson. Estacas and Saladam are also on the shortlist.

This handicap debut down south is a much stiffer test but topweight IDEM is going places judged on the manner of his win at Kelso.

ARE U WISE TO THAT got off the mark at the first time of asking over fences on his latest outing over 2m4f at Warwick in September and he can put that chase experience to good use. Jonjo O'Neill's charge was going away at the line on that occasion and a 7lb rise doesn't appear out of his reach. Hermino Aa was improving nicely when last seen winning over hurdles at Warwick in March and he isn't ruled out of continuing that progression over the larger obstacles, while Jipcot can be seen to better effect.

ARE U WISE TO THAT made an impressive comeback on chase debut at Warwick 6 weeks ago and looks sure to win more races in this sphere. He gets the vote over Cruz Control, Hermino Aa and Twinjets in what should be an informative contest.

This is a step up in grade for ARE U WISE TO THAT but he created a pretty good impression when winning on his chasing debut.

Boothill landed a valuable handicap over C&D on just his second start over fences in November last year and followed that up by taking the Wayward Lad at Kempton over Christmas. The eight-year-old returns on a mark that he is likely to be competitive off, but a chance is taken on FRERE D'ARMES. His early-season form last year was especially strong, beating Haddex Des Obeaux at Kempton before winning a Newbury contest that worked out well, and he had excuses when returning after an injury in the spring. Saint Segal, Red Rookie and the veteran First Flow are others likely to enter the reckoning.

FRERE D'ARMES disappointed on his final outing but he did very well over fences last season otherwise and remains on a decent mark for the start of this campaign. Boothill's 3 wins over fences last season includes a C&D handicap so is another to consider along with First Flow, who has a very good record around here.

Class act Funambule Sivola (second choice) is not dismissed lightly but assured jumper BOOTHILL looks a chaser with more to offer.

Soldierofthestorm sets the standard following his decisive victory at Warwick in May, but he may struggle to give 6lb to TELLHERTHENAME. Ben Pauling's gelding won in impressive fashion on his sole start between the flags and he merits the utmost respect having been purchased for 200,000 pounds subsequently. Jango Baie has a similar profile to the selection and may prove to be next best, although Ten Lengths Tom should not be discounted.

A useful-looking novice hurdle and the betting could be interesting, with Nicky Henderson's JANGO BAIE chanced before market clues. Tellherthename, Pyrotechnic, Ten Lengths Tom and Mighty Moth are all interesting also first time up in this sphere. The penalised Soldierofthestorm needs to jump better than he did when winning at Warwick in May but could improve.

There's substance to the form of JANGO BAIE's second in an Irish point and his stable boasts a notable record in this race.

OUR CHAMP made quite the impression when bounding clear of his rivals at Cheltenham recently, and an 11lb rise for that success may not be enough to halt his rapid progression, with Freddie Gordon taking off a valuable 5lb. Teddy Blue unseated the rider early in that contest, but better can be expected here from the Betfair Hurdle third, while the unexposed Altobelli is another with plenty of potential dropping in class. County Hurdle winner Faivoir is entitled to build his recent return at Ffos Las and can have a say, along with stablemate Knickerbockerglory and Chance A Tune.

RARE MIDDLETON failed to go on as was perhaps hoped last season but he's had a wind operation since last seen and, given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern on reappearance. Our Champ will doubtless be popular on the back of last week's Cheltenham romp, with Altobelli completing the shortlist.

Our Champ has to be the starting point after Cheltenham but KNICKERBOCKERGLORY was second in the Imperial Cup on heavy ground.

A good race featuring a cast of progressive young staying chasers, headed by Monbeg Genius. Given that Jonjo O'Neill's gelding needed last year's reappearance, he may be worth passing over on this occasion in favour of the more experienced TWO FOR GOLD, a mud-lover who has been readied to win fresh before and whose Ascot (chasing) form figures read '221'. Mucho Mas is another improving sort who should make his presence felt if fully tuned up, while Irish raider Yeah Man could throw up some each-way value.

MONBEG GENIUS had his winning run ended when third in the Ultima at Cheltenham but he couldn't have shaped much better and he remains one to keep on side for the coming season. Beauport's first season over fences didn't go as well as might have been expected but he's likely to be ready here, while Two For Gold must be respected given his record here.

The three to concentrate on may well be MONBEG GENIUS (nap), Yeah Man and Mucho Mas, who are preferred in that order.

Runner-up in a Tinahely point-to-point where he had the reopposing Oak Grove (fourth) behind, ELECTRIC MASON was subsequently purchased for 110,000 pounds and he gets the vote for a stable that has a decent record with debutants. The well-bred Dino Magic must also enter calculations on his racecourse bow, along with Celtic Dino and the impressive Fontwell scorer All Authorized. Any market support for Chauffeur Driven or Guivinec would have to be noted.

OAK GROVE has joined a shrewd outfit for a hefty sum on the back of a comfortable success in points, so he's worth a chance to follow up on Rules debut for all that he finds himself in a potentially strong race. Dino Magic needs considering given connections and Electric Mason is another notable recruit from between the flags.

The vote goes to CELTIC DINO who lacks experience but has a classy pedigree and represents a yard with an impressive record in bumpers.
