Trainer James Owen landed this contest last year with the talented Burdett Road, and EAST INDIA DOCK looks a similar type having scored comfortably on his hurdling debut at Wincanton last month. The son of Golden Horn has some improving to do in the jumping department, but he should have too much for Irish raider Prairie Angel, who had been in excellent form on the level before a taking success over hurdles at Down Royal. Narrowly denied in Listed company at Wetherby on his first run for the Olly Murphy yard, Static is a key player too.

MY NOBLE LORD, a most progressive handicapper on the Flat, has the physique and attitude to do well over jumps and looks sure to leave the bare form of his opening win at Chepstow last month well behind now stepping up in grade. Prairie Angel and East India Dock are also promising and they head the dangers.

The standout contender is EAST INDIA DOCK, who was the best of these on the Flat and his winning hurdling debut was hard to fault.

A slightly unlucky second when hampered two out behind the reopposing The Newest One over C&D last month, JIMMY THE DIGGER could be primed to regain the winning thread at a track that has mostly served him well. A respectable fifth in this contest last year off 1lb lower, Read To Return is interesting on the back of a decent return run at Punchestown, while the booking of Patrick Mullins aboard the unexposed Transmission looks significant. Narrowly denied at Wincanton last time out, the veteran Deise Aba is another to consider.

COME ON TEDDY starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for his new yard so could be the answer with a top Irish amateur booked. The Newest One and Jimmy The Digger were first and second in a similar event over C&D 3 weeks ago and they head the dangers.

This could go to TRANSMISSION, who was progressive in staying handicap hurdles earlier this year and ran well here recently.

It is difficult to look past L'EAU DU SUD, who in the main jumped impeccably on chase debut over further at Stratford last month when scoring easily. A return to this track should not inconvenience either, having finished runner-up in the County Hurdle in March, and that form should be enough to see off the admirable Lookaway, who landed a two-runner contest at Uttoxeter on chase debut. Neil King's charge was second in the Greatwood at this meeting last year and is noted along with Carlisle scorer Western Zephyr and Petit Tonnerre.

An Arkle trial in name only, L'EAU DU SUD the sort of good-class handicap hurdler his stable almost routinely turn into even better chasers and he's strongly fancied to take the step up in class in his stride and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Lookaway showed his likeable attitude when making a winning return/chase debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers with improvement on the cards, with Western Zephyr taken to edge out San Salvador for third.

C&D Grade 2 novice hurdle winner LOOKAWAY won on his recent chase debut at Uttoxeter and is taken to make it 2-2 over fences.

Paul Nicholls landed this contest last term and his GINNY'S DESTINY looks well capable of giving him back-to-back wins in the race. He enjoyed a productive campaign last season, notching up three course wins before finding only one too good in a couple of Grade 1 assignments at the big spring festivals. Off what looks a workable mark, he can continue the yard's recent good run of form. Lets Go Champ travelled well for a long way before fading into sixth in the Galway Plate over an extended 2m6f last time, and he commands respect easing in trip. Ryanair winner Protektorat has his fair share of weight to carry, but Dan Skelton's classy chaser cannot be overlooked.

GINNY'S DESTINY has a similar profile to Stage Star who won this for the Nicholls/Cobden combination last year and can enhance his excellent Cheltenham record. 2022 winner Ga Law is feared most on the back of his fine reappearance second at Chepstow. In Excelsis Deo, another with strong Cheltenham form, is next on the list ahead of Harry Derham's new recruit Imagine.

All the signs look good for IMAGINE (nap), who is taken to make a successful debut for Harry Derham. Ga Law is second choice.

Doyen Quest got up late on to score over an extended 2m4f here in the spring and, on the back of a creditable reappearance second at Chepstow last month, he warrants respect off 3lb higher. That said, GOWEL ROAD is preferred. He lost little in defeat when finishing sixth in the Pertemps Final here last season and, after only finding an in-form rival too good here last time, he gets the nod to go one place better. Emailandy is also respected tackling this trip for the first time.

Plenty are in with a shout but it's hard to side against Dan Skelton's upwardly-mobile DOYEN QUEST who resumed with an excellent second in a big-field Chepstow handicap (form been franked) and still looks ahead of his mark with this longer trip also a likely plus. Gavin Cromwell's new recruit Noble Birth could emerge as the main danger although fellow Irish challenger Zeeband commands plenty of respect for last year's winning yard. In-form duo Gowel Road and Itso Fury can both have a say too.

Doyen Quest is a must for the shortlist and Emailandy also brings potential. ZEEBAND, however, still has more to offer.

A Grade 3 winner at Sandown on his penultimate start, Champagne Twist boasts some solid form. However, returning from a 218-day absence is a concern and with that in mind, the match-fit MAJOR FORTUNE shades preference after an assured success over 2m1f at Newton Abbot 17 days ago. Having previously won over further, stepping back up in trip should be ideal for the Dan Skelton-trained gelding, who appears progressive enough to cope with a 9lb higher mark. Long Draw and Wyenot complete the shortlist.

Tony Martin took this prize 2 years ago and looks to hold prime claims again with his 4-y-o HAMSIYANN. Progressive in a handful of starts over hurdles last term, he ran his best race yet on the Flat when chasing home his stablemate in the Chester Plate back in May. Unexposed at this trip and appealing as being on a handy mark, he's very much of interest. Last-time-out winners Wonderful Eagle and Major Fortune command respect also, as do Champagne Twist and Long Draw.

Wyenot and Major Fortune look set to run well again but Tony Martin's maiden hurdler HAMSIYANN catches the eye in a major way.

The hat-trick seeking KORINTHIA can lay an early marker for Willie Mullins' team of bumper horses now the NH season really kicks in. After two comfortable wins in Ireland, this daughter of Jukebox Jury seems ready for a deeper test and is an attractive option as her trainer bears down on back-to-back wins in the race. Fellow bumper winners Jasmine D'airy, St Irene and That'll Do Moss are all upwardly mobile and appear capable of making their presence felt.

KORINTHIA has looked well above average to date and her yard has no peer in this division, so she's preferred to Jasmine d'Airy, who made a successful start under Rules for her former yard at Tipperary 6 months ago. Point winner Settle Down Jill looks a big danger.

In a warm race the vote goes to STRONG RUN who shaped well when second at Uttoxeter. Stablemate Siog Geal is second choice.
