Although unable to build on his second-placed chase bow at Hereford last month when finishing seventh at the same venue later in the month, FADED FANTASY could be worth chancing reverting to timber. Christian Williams' charge struggled to jump out of the softer ground last time and he may be able to redeem himself in first-time blinkers. Star Legend and Hardy Buck are the dangers.

All of these have something to prove in one way or another, but FADED FANTASY may be the least risky option. If taking to the first-time blinkers, he can enhance his trainer's good record at this venue. She Won't Mind may not have the most inspiring form figures but this is a modest contest, and the step up in trip could bring her into the mix. Star Legend has lost his way of late but the return to the scene of his sole hurdles victory could see him run better.

The tentative selection in this uncompetitive opener is FADED FANTASY, who went close on his chase debut at Hereford two starts ago.

SIMPLY GORGEOUS found only a subsequent winner too strong at Lingfield last month and this looks a suitable opportunity for a breakthrough victory in this sphere. She is fancied to repel chief threat Brave Jen. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a second at Market Rasen and a similar performance should see her get involved. Handicap debutant Uokhun is the pick of the remainder.

Fakenham should play to the strengths of BRAVE JEN who is preferred to Tim Easterby handicap newcomer Uokhun.

Topweight BRAVE JEN looks the one to beat here if judged on her defeat of a subsequent winner in a Sedgefield maiden two starts ago.

There was a lot to like about the way KOSASIEMPRE scored on her chase debut at Leicester three weeks ago and she rates as one to follow. The six-year-old looked to win with something in hand and she could make light work of a 7lb rise. The biggest threat is last-time-out C&D winner Micronormous, who boasts a similar profile to the selection. Melusine De Pail may fare best of the remainder.

KOSASIEMPRE already looks a better chaser than hurdler after her winning start in this sphere at Leicester and she looks capable of defying a 7 lb rise. Cluain Aodha is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is feared most.

Topweight KOSASIEMPRE (nap) made an excellent start to her chasing career at Leicester three weeks ago and can make it 2-2 over fences.

Those with jumping experience don't appear to set a lofty standard, so a chance is taken on MISS CYNTHIA. She progressed to be a very smart performer on the Flat this year, culminating in a creditable fourth in the Prix du Cadran when last seen. On her debut for the Lucy Wadham team, she gets the nod to score on her hurdling bow. Go West should strip fitter for his reappearance fifth at Plumpton earlier this month, while James Owen has his string in good form at present and his newcomer Minimoonbeam is also noteworthy.

If MISS CYNTHIA can translate anything like her Flat ability to hurdles at the first attempt she'll be a very tough nut to crack. Go West is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding James Owen newcomer Minimoonbeam.

The filly MISS CYNTHIA had a poor strike-rate on the Flat but showed strong form and is taken to make a winning start over hurdles.

JONY MAX is holding his form well and arrives on the back of a couple of staying-on placed efforts. For a yard which tends to excel with these types, this in-form chaser looks the one to side with stepping up in trip off what looks a workable mark. Samourai One wasn't disgraced when finishing runner-up over 3m here last month and another bold bid looks likely. Gold Clermont can also make her presence felt.

JONY MAX is in top form and goes well here, so he's fancied to get his head back in front over a trip that suits him well. Stablemate Ballyrashane is a threat and another solid showing is expected from Samourai One.

Placed twice since exploiting a much reduced mark in early November, JONY MAX is well suited by the C&D and gets the vote.

Zhang Fei has made the frame on each of his last two outings and should go well after his third at Taunton last time. However, the drop in trip isn't sure to suit and BIGZ BELIEF is preferred. Barry Brennan's seven-year-old finished just over a length behind Zhang Fei in that Taunton contest, but he is 2lb better off this time and has previously struck over this distance. Clinton Lane is the pick of the remainder.

ZHANG FEI is in good order and finds himself in a less-competitive event than last time so, provided his enthusiasm can be channelled correctly, he can make all at the possible expense of Bigz Belief. Sabbathical has an absence to overcome but is well treated on chase form.

The consistent ZHANG FEI has run well in defeat the last twice and is taken to add to his win at Newton Abbot in July.

Lunar Contact is in brilliant form and completed a course double two starts ago before scoring over the smaller obstacles at Southwell last time. He holds an obvious chance back over fences, but it may pay to side with BASHERS REFLECTION. Ben Case's seven-year-old finished third in a stronger event than this at Chepstow last month and could take a step forward on only his third chase start. Planned Paradise completes the shortlist.

The thriving LUNAR CONTACT is open to more improvement and is still at the right end of the weights, so he can continue his winning sequence. Don Alvaro looks interesting for his top yard after a 2-year absence, while Captain Speaking can be expected to leave his Cheltenham reappearance behind.

Second to a progressive rival last time, SCENE ONE is now on the same mark as for last season's C&D win.
