CUTHBERT DIBBLE failed to reward his supporters when he was favourite for a premier handicap Sandown last month but he is hard to oppose now dropping in grade. His yard won this race with a similarly progressive type in 2019 and this fellow is an obvious candidate to follow the trend. Ben Pauling sent out last year's winner and his Storminhome is highly respected, as is The Same, who has plenty to offer.

A few with potential but CUTHBERT DIBBLE possesses the best form on offer and also has experience on his side so looks the way to go here. Olly Murphy's The Same went in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Market Rasen and is feared most with improvement very much in the pipelines, ahead of Doncaster-scorer Storminhome.

Storminhome and The Same are undoubtedly promising types but they face a strong rival in the shape of CUTHBERT DIBBLE.

A 3lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent PAGEANT MATERIAL following up her course and distance success from 18 days ago. Isabel Williams retains the ride and another bold effort is expected from the partnership. Galante De Romay (fourth) didn't impress with her jumping in that aforementioned race but that effort came on the back of a 116-day absence and she should be sharper this time. Doctor Dotty (third) also renews rivalries with that pair and is another to consider.

DICEY RIELLY was a progressive sort over hurdles and looked to have the race in control when coming down 3 out at Uttoxeter on her chasing debut so is worth siding with despite having a six-month absence to overcome. Galante de Romay also found a late error costly when fourth over C&D on her chasing bow and is feared most ahead of Doctor Dotty who finished a place ahead of her that day.

Dicey Reilly could be well handicapped but carries risks. GALANTE DE ROMAY, an unlucky fourth here last time, gets the verdict.

Several of these are progressing nicely and the likes of Galudon, who will wear first-time cheekpieces, and Zambezi Fix and Conkwell Legend all hold strong form credentials. However, FINE CASTING was a respectable fourth in the Imperial Cup at Sandown which arguably sets a more testing standard and he looks the one to beat in this company running off the same mark.

BIG BRESIL's return from a near 2-year absence was full of promise and, sensibly given time to get over that, he looks ready to start making up for lost time in handicaps. There's depth to this, with Kepagge and Fine Casting heading the opposition.

A competitive handicap can go to the lightly raced BIG BRESIL who shaped encouragingly after a layoff at Ayr and retains potential.

Only narrowly denied over an extended 3m4f at Taunton last month, Sidi Ismael can have a say in proceedings here, but this represents a drop in class for SUPER SURVIVOR and he shades the vote. He scored by five lengths over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow on his penultimate outing and should be taken lightly, despite being rated 7lb above that mark. Volcano and Southern Sam add further spice to the mix.

EQUUS DREAMER cranked it up another notch when successful at Haydock 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed over this sort of trip, he can land this good prize. Amateur has likely been primed in his pursuit for a hat-trick of wins in this race and is a big danger, with Super Survivor the potential improver in the race now tackling a new distance.

A third West Wales National may well be beckoning for AMATEUR (nap), who is selected ahead of Fuji Flight and Equus Dreamer.

INFERNO SACREE arrives on a four-timer and steps up in class following an emphatic win over this trip at Plumpton last month. He is now rated 11lb higher for that success, but he has shown plenty to suggest that will not be enough to stop him adding to his winning tally here. Benassi and Thunderclap both filled the runner-up spots on their latest outings and can give the selection plenty to think about.

THUNDERCLAP is a fairly useful Flat handicapper and is related to hurdles winners so he could be set for a big run now handicapping in this sphere having taken another step forward at Huntingdon. Inferno Sacree is a huge player in his bid for a 4-timer, with Benassi another to consider.

Thunderclap is feared but preference is for fellow handicap debutant BENASSI who has improved with every hurdles run to date.

AIRTOTHETHRONE had to go down as an unlucky loser when second at Chepstow three weeks ago having been hampered by a faller four out. He's been raised 1lb for that effort but, with conditions sure to suit, he's taken to gain some compensation here. Bucks Dream is having his first start over fences but is sure to have been well schooled by Peter Bowen, who landed this race last year. Twilight Glory is another who cannot be discounted, despite disappointing when a beaten favourite last time.

AIRTOTHETHRONE looks the most solid one here on the back of a good second at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Patient Owner ran a stinker last time but will be a threat if back to the level he showed in similar events prior to that. Peter Bowen chase newcomer Bucks Dream completes the shortlist.

Perhaps Tim Vaughan holds the key here. He saddles Twilight Glory and AIRTOTHETHRONE, with the latter getting a tentative vote.

The eye is drawn to the Paul Nicholls newcomer Insurrection, who was a most impressive winner of his point-to-point four months ago in Ireland. That said, THE JUKEBOX MAN put up a similar performance before being purchased for 70,000 pounds. He ran a fine race to finish second on his first start for Ben Pauling at Chepstow three weeks ago and is fancied to go one better. Montys Soldier is another who impressed between the flags and is worth a market check.

INSURRECTION has already won a point and his top yard has dominated this sphere in 2022/23, so he gets the nod ahead of The Jukebox Man, who was an excellent second on his Rules debut at Chepstow. Shillanavogy is another interesting recruit from points.

The Jukebox Man's Chepstow second is the best form but a chance is taken with easy points winner MONTYS SOLDIER on his rules debut.
