CLASSIC MAESTRO improved greatly for his reappearance fifth at Warwick when making all in ready fashion at Wetherby six days ago. Edward Vaughan negates some of the 7lb penalty with his 3lb claim and a quick double could be in the offing for Jennie Candlish's inmate. Seasonal debutant Risk D'Argent started off his last campaign with a good second at Warwick and could go well. Bigz Belief is also worth a second look.

GENTLEMAN BILL looked to have more to offer when going in over C&D last month so is fancied to make a winning start in handicaps at the chief expense of recent Wetherby victor Classic Maestro. Risk d'Argent is weighted to have a say too if ready to roll after his absence.

He probably was flattered by an easy lead last week at Wetherby but CLASSIC MAESTRO is a likeable type who can make another bold bid.

EXCELERO shouldn't be judged too harshly on his ninth-placed effort in The Gerry Feilden at Newbury last month and he's entitled to strip fitter for that return effort. The four-year-old is likely to prove far more competitive reverting to novice company and he edges the vote over Atlantic Lad. Donald McCain's gelding posted a respectable third on his Rules bow over C&D 45 days ago and improvement is expected. Law Of The Sea is also noted.

EXCELERO shaped as if needing the run on return/handicap debut at Newbury recently and, back down in grade, Jane Williams' charge has an excellent opportunity to double her career tally. Atlantic Lad made an encouraging debut in this sphere when third over C&D in October so heads up the opposition, with Law of The Sea another potential improver having had just a couple of starts over hurdles.

This is worlds away from the strong handicap that EXCELERO contested at Newbury last month and he can give the weight away.

Atreides has proved expensive to follow in his 13 starts under Rules, but the six-year-old is unlikely to be far away if reproducing his latest second at Ffos Las. With that being said, NEW FOUND FAME only gave way in the closing stages over an extended 2m5f at Hereford 31 days ago and a drop in distance may prove fruitful. Market support for stable debutant Streamsforth Lad would be interesting.

ATREIDES caught the eye in a stronger event at Ffos Las last time and he’s taken to go one better here. New Found Fame is respected as the main danger having posted his best effort for a while at Hereford. Greatness Awaits shaped with promise at Ludlow and will benefit from the drop in distance, while Streamsforth Lad is one to note in the betting for a yard that does well with new recruits.

Preference is for SAINT CYR DE PAIL who looks open to improvement on his handicap debut.

Irish raider KEVIN'S PRIDE, who comfortably won a bumper in Ireland before posting a solid second over 2m4f on his hurdles debut at Carlisle last month, should be wiser for the experience and appeals most. Former pointer Skuna Bay runs for a yard with an excellent strike-rate at this venue and can figure after a respectable third on his hurdles bow 24 days ago. Theatre Tom also warrants consideration.

KEVIN'S PRIDE shaped with plenty of promise when sprinting away from a subsequent winner on his hurdling debut at Carlisle a month ago and should take a bit of stopping with improvement on the cards. Skuna Bay and Alan de Banks are feared most in that order.

Preference is for KEVIN'S PRIDE who should prove hard to beat if jumping better than when just beaten on his hurdles debut.

Having won five of his last six starts, Plaisir Des Flos is a must for the shortlist despite his rising mark. However, this trip takes him into uncharted territory and, with that in mind, a chance is taken on MAHLAND being able to make a winning return and follow up on his comfortable success over 3m at Ffos Las in April. Thanksforthehelp is another capable stayer to consider.

A warm looking race of its type with a chance taken on 9-y-o SCHALKE. He shaped most encouragingly having tumbled in the weights when third in a C&D handicap on return/yard debut 45 days ago and conditions here will hold no fears. Thanksforthehelp for David Pipe, prolific-scorer Plaisir des Flos and Strackan are just a trio of others to consider.

Henry Daly has described recent Uttoxeter winner STRACKAN (nap) as "gormless" in the past but he's getting his act together now.

LINALENE is readily suggested after his third-placed finish in what looked a good bumper at Aintree last month. The son of Rail Link, who is a half-brother to a couple of jump winners in France, was a solid favourite on that occasion and may be up to scoring this time. Bohemond Antioch and Sherminator can fight it out for second given they have an experience edge over the remainder.

LINALENE showed up well in a better race at Aintree on debut and should be able to open his account with improvement anticipated. Bohemond Antioch looks the main form danger and Through The Storm is a notable newcomer.

The choice is SHERMINATOR who shaped as though this longer trip would suit when a staying-on fourth at Exeter in October.
