Fairlawn Skipper is likely to make the running and he can make this a good test for his two rivals. The betting market is sure to be helpful with regards to point-to-point winner Minella Apprentice. His dam stayed well over hurdles and the son of Jukebox Jury could have a bright future. However, CALME OLYMPIEN's French hurdles form sets a fair standard and that previous experience could be a key asset.

His two opponents are tricky to evaluate but FAIRLAWN SKIPPER ran fairly well on his hurdling debut and gets the vote.

ANOTHER LORD finished best of all to score over 3m at Uttoxeter last month, giving the impression he could be even better stepped up further in trip. A 6lb rise looks fair, and he gets the vote. Runner-up in the Devon National at Exeter when last seen in February, Neo King must be of interest on his return to action, along with stablemate Puddlesinthepark, whose winning run came to an end over hurdles at Newton Abbot recently.

Preference is for ANOTHER LORD, who looked in excellent nick when winning readily over 3m at Uttoxeter last month.

IMPERIAL MEASURE caught the eye when staying on into third at Newton Abbot last month. He's likely to appreciate a step up to 3m, and he can strike for the first time over fences. Mini Fortune showed more when third at Uttoxeter recently and she could go well, whilst Radharc Na Slaine, who couldn't land a blow at Worcester latest, is better judged on his earlier Stratford success.

After a good effort at Uttoxeter this month, multiple point winner MINI FORTUNE (nap) is selected to open her rules account.

Picked up by the David Pipe stable having filled the runner-up spot over 2m6f at Downpatrick in July, this could be the perfect opportunity for ORDER OF THE DANCE. Forest Spirit has yet to show much since joining the Mickey Bowen yard, but she now enters handicaps and must be of interest, along with No Guarantee and The Longest Day, who returned from a long absence to finish a creditable third at Newton Abbot last month.

Back up in trip and with cheekpieces refitted, THE LONGEST DAY may build upon last month's pleasing reappearance run.

AT THE OCHE showed good potential when landing a bumper on his racecourse bow at Doncaster in March. The son of Ocovango struggled in a higher grade at Newbury thereafter, having raced too freely. However, he got back on track with a creditable second on his debut over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month and is the pick of this bunch. Evan Williams' hurdling newcomers Elusive Knight and Minella Mania are other notable options.

Recent Newton Abbot runner-up AT THE OCHE sets a fair standard of hurdling form and looks the one to beat.

TURPIN GOLD has won three of his last six starts and with the trip and forecast ground sure to suit, he is readily suggested as the most dependable option. A three-time course-and-distance winner, Gavin has been running well in defeat of late and from a competitive mark, it would be dangerous to underestimate him. Baikal is versatile regarding distance and he could also be a key player from the foot of the handicap.

Topweight TURPIN GOLD has done very well for his new stable this season and may still have more improvement to come.

A convincing winner over 2m4f at Sedgefield last week, ISLE OF SARK has adapted well since switching to the in-form Mickey Bowen yard and a 7lb penalty might not prevent the seven-year-old from going in again. Wolfspear rates the chief danger having posted a good second on his seasonal reappearance at Uttoxeter last month. Balkardy has winning form here and could also be on the premises, with a return to three miles unlikely to be an issue.

On just his second start for Mickey Bowen, ISLE OF SARK did very well to reel in an in-form rival at Sedgefield last week.
