An impressive winner on her chase debut over C&D recently, NOT STAYING LONG is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 10lb higher. The excellent form of her stable is another plus, and she may have too much for Beat The Edge, who shaped very well on his debut for new connections when second at Sedgefield last month. Kingofthegame cannot be ruled out either.

NOT STAYING LONG showed much improved form when scoring easily at this C&D on her chasing debut last time and she can go on to follow up with further progress to come. Kingofthegame had excuses on his latest outing so he could be worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces, with Hazard Collonges the pick of the remainder.

The suggestion is BEAT THE EDGE, who ran well on last month's stable debut and remains well handicapped.

A point-to-point winner over 2m4f in May, KDEUX SAINT FRAY should have no issue with this rise in distance following a determined win over 2m on his Rules debut at Ascot last month. The immediate switch to hurdling looks like a good move and it may be that Tamarind Bay gives him the most to think about following a strong runner-up effort at Market Rasen earlier in the month. Doncaster second Supreme George is noted too.

Having shown fair form in bumpers, TAMARIND BAY improved from his hurdling debut when second at Market Rasen last time, finishing with running left after a mistake at the last, and he can continue his progress to get off the mark. He is preferred to point/bumper winner Kdeux Saint Fray, while Shattered Soldier also merits consideration.

Preference is for KDEUX SAINT FRAY, who displayed tenacity to win an Ascot bumper on last month's rules debut.

A promising third over hurdles at Newcastle last time out, former pointer MR MAHLER runs for an in-form yard and is of high interest on his first go over the larger obstacles under Rules. Cofficionado was not disgraced on his chasing bow at Sedgefield and can also figure prominently with another step forward. Berliet Express posted some respectable efforts over fences during his time in Ireland and is suggested as best of the rest.

MR MAHLER is an intriguing chase debutant for a stable in form. Cofficionado is feared most.

Placed over hurdles on his latest outing, MR MAHLER is taken to make a winning chase debut.

SIOG GEAL has offered plenty of promise on her runner-up efforts in bumpers at Aintree and Cheltenham and she could prove hard to beat debuting over hurdles. Fergal O'Brien's mare was a winner of her sole start between the flags and it's fellow hurdles debutant Surrey Belle who is feared most. The four-year-old has proved progressive on the Flat this year and sustained market support would be interesting. Penalised winner Reel Rosie should give another good account.

With experience on her side, REEL ROSIE is taken to see off hurdling debutantes Siog Geal and Surrey Belle. The selection travelled well prior to quickly putting the race to bed on her second start in this sphere at Sedgefield and, on that evidence, she looks capable of going in again under a penalty. Surrey Belle was of a similar level of ability to Reel Rosie on the level and will be a threat if finding fluency but point-winner Siog Geal, who has shown plenty in two bumpers, is feared most.

Irish point winner SIOG GEAL looked very promising in bumpers in the autumn and is a good prospect for novice hurdles.

RIBEYE impressed when scoring over an extended 2m7f at Musselburgh earlier this month, travelling strongly into contention before finding plenty in the closing stages, and the suspicion is that a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. The unexposed Catch Catchfire was sporting first-time cheekpieces (retained) when scoring readily on his handicap/chase debut at Leicester recently and he commands respect. The class-dropping Elleon is also noted.

The vote goes to unexposed 5-y-o CATCH CATCHFIRE, who looked a different proposition switched to fences with cheekpieces enlisted at Leicester and, with the promise of better to come, he looks more than capable of following up off this 8 lb higher mark. Super Citizen has been given a chance by the handicapper and he is next on the list ahead of Musselburgh-scorer Ribeye, while Coolmoyne and Elleon are each-way contenders.

Sam England's ELLEON was never in a good jumping rhythm at Newcastle last time but he's on a workable mark if all goes to plan here.

This doesn't look the deepest race and a chance is taken on the unexposed ACHILLE DES ROCS. He was last seen scoring gamely in a Southwell maiden over 2m last month and it will be no surprise if he has enough in the locker to score on his handicap debut. The capable but inconsistent Klitschko has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature. Fourofakind is respected most of the remainder.

This could be the day for GOT YOUR BACK to get his head in front again, having showed up well for a long way at Carlisle last time, and he can capitalise on his falling handicap mark with Brian Hughes back aboard. Lone Star should strip fitter for her reappearance and could be dangerous while Fourofakind can be competitive at this level once again.

He finished tired at Carlisle last time but GOT YOUR BACK (nap) ran well there and can be seen to better effect on this easier track.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
