Mirabad was no match for a useful sort at Kempton in May, but this doesn't look as deep and he merits respect under the penalty. That said, HOLA HERMOSA made a winning hurdles debut at Worcester in July and with the prospect of more to come, she could double her tally. Call To Duty might not be far away either.

Given MIRABAD's Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him as a hurdler this term, so he's taken to successfully concede weight all round. Call To Duty impressed with his jumping at Stratford so he rates a threat, along with Hola Hermosa.

This isn't at all strong and MIRABAD might well be up to defying a penalty on the back of a wind operation.

Twice a winner over hurdles earlier this year, FLORENCETHEMACHINE has few miles on the clock and, with chasing sure to be more her game, the daughter of Malinas can make an immediate impact. A switch to the larger obstacles should also benefit Magical Escape and Kim Bailey's Ffos Las winner can make his presence felt, while A Definite Getaway heads the remainder.

FLORENCETHEMACHINE improved for the step up to 3m when successful over hurdles at Chepstow in the spring and a point success at the start of her career provides hope that she can do well over the larger obstacles. Fellow chase newcomer Magical Escape is feared most.

Chasing debutants MAGICAL ESCAPE and Florencethemachine both have considerable potential and may fight this out.

The vote goes to ROARING HOME, who chased home the now 135-rated Gale Mahler in a bumper at Southwell in May. Those with hurdling experience do not set a particularly high standard, so given a clean round of jumping she might be tough to beat. Leloopa struck the woodwork at Newton Abbot recently and she's feared on the back of that performance, while others to note include Soleil D'arizona and Definite Dream.

ROARING HOME made a bright start in bumpers, running right up to her best when second at Southwell when last seen in May. She's very much the type to make her mark over hurdles and earns the vote on return to action. Fairly useful French recruit Soleil d'Arizona is another of interest now starting out over hurdles for Dan Skelton. Mavis Pike can emerge best of those with previous hurdles experience.

This can go to ROARING HOME, who pushed a subsequent Listed hurdle winner all the way to the line when second in a bumper in May.

Having posted some creditable efforts in defeat in hunter chases earlier in the year, CAT TIGER could be worth chancing back under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls. The veteran has been given some respite from the handicapper and another victory could be on the cards. Opening Bid landed last year's edition of this contest off a 2lb higher mark and a recent fifth at Worcester should have him spot on for a repeat. The nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of Kauto The King.

OPENING BID took this 12 months ago and another bold showing looks on the cards given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Worcester fifth. Cat Tiger could emerge as the main danger, with fellow veteran Kauto The King also not discounted in his current mood.

Cat Tiger looks interesting back in a handicap but OPENING BID is also on a good mark now, and he is taken to win this race again.

Having found 2m4f stretching her stamina when weakening into fourth at Worcester last month, JO'S RAINBOW makes plenty of appeal returning to 2m. Dan Skelton's filly still looks nicely treated given her ability on the Flat and a first victory over hurdles could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Stage Show, who offered plenty of encouragement when fourth on his handicap bow at Newton Abbot 20 days ago. Market confidence behind stable debutants Penna Rossa or Escobedo should be noted.

Preference is for JO'S RAINBOW, who shaped better than the bare result at Worcester last month and will appreciate the drop back in trip. Bluebella and Far Away West head the list of dangers.

A speculative option to consider is PENNA ROSSA, who has been given a very good chance by the handicapper before this stable debut.

HARRYS HOPE made an impressive chasing debut when scoring by seven lengths at Southwell last week and is very hard to ignore turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Topweight Sherborne has more experience in this discipline and is the chief threat to the selection. Previous course winner Begin The Luck is also forwarded as a key player in this company. Goaheadwiththeplan also needs considering.

HARRYS HOPE took superbly well to chasing when running out an emphatic winner at Southwell a week ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, she's firmly expected to defy a penalty. Fakir is a danger on his second outing for a shrewd yard and Sherborne should be involved if fit enough to do himself justice on reappearance.

The most obvious answer is HARRY'S HOPE (nap), who created a good impression when winning readily by 7l on last week's chasing debut.

IN THE AIR was in command a long way from home when he made a successful debut for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and, given he is 4lb well in here, he could make light of the 7lb penalty. War Lord is versatile and, having dropped to a highly-competitive mark in comparison to past exploits, he cannot be ruled out in this company. Gustoso and Clearance are others with each-way appeal.

IN THE AIR made a mockery of his much-reduced mark on first start for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and will surely take a fair bit of stopping if turning up in similar form under a penalty. War Lord and Asian Spice are fancied to fill the places.

It's hard to get away from IN THE AIR, who looked rejuvenated when winning easily off a much-reduced mark for his new stable last week.
