This can go the way of MELLIFICENT, who was last seen in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen in February, which has worked out very well since. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is better judged on her penultimate effort at Uttoxeter and the step up in trip looks a big plus on her hurdles bow. Tom Cody is one to note for market support on his first run for new connections, while Tommy Johnson rates best of the rest.

MELLIFICENT looked above average in bumpers and there's no reason to think she won't take to hurdling, so she's an obvious choice in a thin race. One of the newcomers, Tommy Johnson and/or Icouldn'tpassherby, may be able to capitalise if the selection doesn't come up to expectations.

The extreme lack of form in this line-up suggests a win is likely for MELLIFICENT, who scored in one of her three bumpers.

READYSTEADYBEAU was getting the hang of things over fences towards the end of last season and he can start this campaign on the right note. A mark of 114 still looks manageable and, with conditions in his favour, he should have too much for chase debutants Jet Legs and Jipcot, as well as Mulberry Hill, who was very unlucky when falling two out at Ludlow when last seen over fences in May.

READYSTEADYBEAU boasts a positive profile over fences and had plenty in hand when scoring at Perth when last seen, so he's the obvious choice for a stable that continues in tremendous form. High Moon and Mulberry Hill are feared.

The mare MULBERRY HILL won over hurdles here last October on her sole previous visit to Carlisle and she earns the vote.

Thereisnodoubt made a perfect seasonal debut when scoring at Perth last month and Lucinda Russell's veteran shouldn't be far away now shouldering 4lb more. However, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival, with GOLDEN GLANCE making most appeal. The four-year-old signed off her last campaign with a respectable seventh in a premier handicap at Cheltenham in April and she merits respect representing a stable in fine form. Gardener and Holly are others to note.

An opening mark of 110 might underestimate GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES as he was a promising winner on his hurdle debut and was too fresh stepping up in trip when beaten at short odds here since. Gardener is another lightly-raced sort who should have his best days ahead of him and is second choice ahead of last year's winner Well Educated.

Grain D'Oudairies could be superior to his opening mark but HOLLY also retains potential and she gets the nod.

Unbeaten hurdler GIOVINCO looked a smart prospect last season, as seen when capping off a fine campaign with a 12-length romp in a Listed event over hurdles at Perth in April. The six-year-old boasts a pointing background and he may have too much class for these rivals on his chase debut. Alaphilippe was last seen finishing a cracking second in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival 588 days ago and is feared most on his return, ahead of Good Risk At All.

GOOD RISK AT ALL scored here 12 months ago and with his yard adept at getting their horses ready first time, he is taken to make a winning chase debut. Giovinco and Alaphilippe may prove most dangerous in what should be an informative contest.

Giovinco is an exciting chasing recruit but preference is for the returning ALAPHILIPPE, whose trainer's horses often go well fresh

Inis Oirr shouldn't be judged too harshly on his 10th-fence blunder when unseating his rider at Kelso earlier this month, as the six-year-old had jumped with plenty of verve prior to that mishap. The son of Ocovango likely has more to offer in this sphere and isn't taken lightly, but slight preference is for CARLO DU BERLAIS, who should relish this stiffer test of stamina. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding can put his experience to good use, with chasing debutant Anti Bridgie of interest too.

Another chance is given to INIS OIRR, who had jumped with aplomb until unseating his rider at Kelso on chase debut earlier this month. Carlo du Berlais and Here Comes The Man rate the principal dangers.

An interesting little race. YELLOWSTONE PARK is bred to improve for the switch to fences and he is the pick.

A chance is taken on ZWICKY, who won in ready fashion over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and is taken to follow up. Philip Kirby's charge has been raised 3lb for that success but the six-year-old won more cosily than the winning margin suggests. Rajjamataz is feared most after running well when second over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in April, while better can be expected of So Many Roads.

SO MANY ROADS and Zwicky both remain open to improvement and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is not passed over at all lightly, particularly with a recent run (and a winning one at that) under his belt, but So Many Roads is marginally preferred on the strength of his decisive handicap debut success at Ayr last season. Bouncing Bobby, a C&D winner this time last year, and Cartmel scorer Secret Secret are others to consider.

Lots with chances but there was a lot to like about the reappearance Sedgefield win of ZWICKY so this improving sort gets the vote

COOLMOYNE returned from a break in good style last time when only collared late on at Sedgefield, and this looks a decent opportunity to go one better. The first two pulled clear on that occasion and a 2lb rise in the weights could prove lenient. Travail D'Orfevre is also entitled to respect should he return to the track in similar form to his third over C&D in March, while Cudgel makes most appeal of the remainder.

The most appealing of these is GANDHI MAKER, who wasn't given a hard time on his return at Sedgefield and he should be sharper now. Casa Tall makes his debut for new connections on a potentially handy mark and is feared most ahead of Travail d'Orfevre.

The vote goes to COOLMOYNE (nap), who was only just caught at Sedgefield on his recent return and is a big player dropped back in trip.
