AYIKO was pitched in at the deep end when finishing last in a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival, having struck here the time before. Now switching his attention to hurdling, Stuart Crawford's gelding makes plenty of appeal and gets the vote to make a winning start in this sphere. Hazy Glen went close at Newcastle, but will need to handle a drop in trip. With that in mind, the main threat could prove to be Ridin Solo following his seconds at Sedgefield and Carlisle.

The form of HAZY GLEN's close second at Newcastle at the end of January has received a few boosts since and he's the one to beat dropping back in trip. Course bumper winner Ayiko is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline, while Ridin Solo and Hombre de Guerra have been placed in similar events this season and should be competitive again.

The suggestion is HAZY GLEN, who went down fighting at Newcastle last month and had a couple of next-time-out winners behind him.

SERIOUS EGO was in fine form earlier in the season, with a brace of victories at Hexham in November before a couple of underwhelming performances. His most recent third at Sedgefield was a step back in the right direction and the use of Conor Rabbitt's 5lb claim gives him every chance of a decent showing. Lifetime Adventure may benefit from a first-time tongue-tie, while the consistent Cancan and handicap debutant River Ayr are others to note.

CANCAN has been holding her form well, which is more than can be said for most, so she gets the nod ahead of Serious Ego, who ran with credit last time. Northern Cardinal is probably the pick of the numerous handicap debutants.

This might go to is handicap debutant NORTHERN CARDINAL, who is of interest if judged on last spring's bumper third.

Broomhill Road hasn't achieved what his bumper form suggested he might be capable of in three attempts over hurdles so far. That said, the five-year-old now sports a visor for the first time on his handicap debut and it would be no surprise to see him step forward. However, WEAVER'S ANSWER is 5lb well-in under a penalty after routing the opposition at Plumpton 11 days ago and the drop in trip shouldn't be a concern. Beat The Retreat and Follow Charlie are others likely to be in the mix.

FOLLOW CHARLIE goes well at this track and shaped as if still in good form in a stronger race than he need contest at Newcastle last month, so it's reasonable to assume he can resume winning ways back in a 0-100. Weaver's Answer is much respected under a penalty for all that the drop back in trip isn't sure to suit, while Kingston Rock didn't shape at all badly behind a handicap blot last time and is another to consider.

It's worth chancing CITY DERBY, who is well handicapped on some of his early-season form and hinted at a possible revival last month.

It is difficult to look past ARTIC ROW, who has an excellent record here. The seven-year-old should be able to manage a 7lb rise and is taken to uphold form with the reopposing Monochromix (second) from their meeting over C&D last month. Consistent maiden Leading Force and Coniston Clouds, who was a comfortable winner at Catterick before coming down when sent off favourite at Sedgefield, also enter the equation.

The winning margin was less than a length when ARTIC ROW got the better of Monochromix over C&D last month but, with all due respect to the latter, Nick Alexander's charge was value for extra and he is taken to strike again. Monochromix should be in the mix once more but a bigger threat may be posed by Coniston Clouds, who looked good on his chase debut. Leading Force is also of interest, while High Moon is dangerous to discount off a reduced mark.

Having fended off a persistent threat from Monochromix here last month, ARTIC ROW (nap) could still be well treated.

An easy winner on his chasing/handicap debut at Musselburgh last month on the step up in trip, WHOSMYDADDY should have plenty more improvement forthcoming and an 8lb rise could prove lenient as he attempts to follow up. That may be at the main expense of Heritier De Sivola, who had Baron Briggs over two lengths behind him in third when runner-up over C&D last time out.

Having shown precious little previously, WHOSMYDADDY bolted up on his chasing debut at Musselburgh last month and sure to progress in this sphere, Sandy Thomson's 6-y-o is strongly fancied to defy an 8 lb rise and remain unbeaten over the larger obstacles. The main threat may emerge from Heritier de Sivola, who stopped the slide over a staying trip for the first time over fences here 3 weeks ago, while Baron Briggs and Wavelength aren't out of things, either.

This can go to WHOSMYDADDY who did it well when making a successful chase debut from the front at Musselburgh 19 days ago.

This represents a significant drop in grade for EL ELEFANTE and a return to softer ground should also play to her strengths as she looks to return to winning ways for her in-form connections. Micks Jet is likely to pose a serious challenge following an easy success at Musselburgh last month, while Kay Tara Tara is not to be ruled out either on the rise in distance.

EL ELEFANTE faced a tough task in the Rossington Main at Doncaster last time, when she was also unsuited by the emphasis on speed, so she is taken to resume winning ways returned to this longer trip back down in grade. Micks Jet opened her hurdles account easily 19 days ago and is feared most with further improvement to come, ahead of Kay Tara Tara.

Lucinda Russell's EL ELEFANTE has held her own against smart opposition since her winning hurdle debut and gets the nod.
