MY GIFT TO YOU has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable and returning to the smaller obstacles should not inconvenience him, given he won easily in this sphere at Southwell last month. A taking winner over C&D in May, Happy Company can give him the most to think about, ahead of Bari Breeze, who performed with plenty of credit when second at Market Rasen.

MY GIFT TO YOU has taken off since joining his current yard and is a confident choice to complete a hat-trick returned to hurdling. Shengai Enki is an interesting handicap debutant and Bari Breeze returned to form at Market Rasen last time.

A taking winner on her first start for the Gary Moore stable in a bumper at Southwell in June, CAST A SPELL may just set the standard on form as she makes her hurdling debut. The five-year-old is open to improvement over further and she gets the vote ahead of hurdling debutant Gearing's Point and Love Mystery, who has plenty of experience.

CAST A SPELL made all in a Southwell bumper on her first outing for Gary Moore and can follow up on her hurdle debut. A repeat of the form Love Mystery has shown on his last 2 outings should see him bang there, while Sheena West's Gearing's Point merits respect now switching to hurdles on the back of a good spell on the Flat.

The longer trip ought to suit CAST A SPELL judged on her Southwell bumper score. \bGearing's Point is next most preferred.

FRANKIE FAULKNER got off the mark in commanding fashion over timber at Newton Abbot last month and the step up in trip could eke out further improvement on his chase debut. With point-to-point experience under his belt, the son of Malinas should take to this discipline and it may be that strong stayer Paris Dixie gives him the most to think about. One Man Party cannot be ruled out either.

FRANKIE FAULKNER rather stands out on profile as a last-time-out hurdles winner who switches to fences in a very winnable handicap. He can also call upon success between the flags so he's a fairly obvious choice, with Paris Dixie the main threat.

CITY OF RUINS has shaped on his two starts to date as though a win could be just around the corner and he's fancied to shed his maiden tag. Donald McCain's charge was beaten just under five lengths last time when a clear second over the extended 2m at Stratford, and he can go one better in this contest if taking another step forward. Unification is having his first run over timber after being with Jim Bolger in Ireland and commands respect, while Book Of Tales can also have a say.

A few of these bring potential, not least CITY OF RUINS who was a promising runner-up at Stratford last time and can go one better now. Dance Havana could emerge as the chief threat to Donald McCain's charge, with hurdling newcomers Book of Tales and Unification also in the picture.

A very open contest and a chance is taken on TANGO ECHO CHARLIE, who was a mile in front of his closest pursuer when second over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time. He looks well worth a chance on his fencing debut. The consistent Hardy Boy shouldn't be ruled out, while Sermando should also be thereabouts on the back of his Worcester second.

HARDY BOY may not be the most fluent of jumpers, but he's acquitted himself well on all completed starts over the larger obstacles so far and Ben Pauling's 6-y-o is narrowly preferred to double his tally back down in trip at the expense of Sermando, who was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot reverted to fences at Worcester 4 weeks ago. The lightly raced 9-y-o Tango Echo Charlie makes his chasing debut and he looks best of the remainder.

He's not for everyone, but if on his best behaviour HARDY BOY can capitalise on the drop back in trip, ahead of Friary Rock.

BASHFUL BOY won as he liked over the extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and he looks primed to follow up. David Pipe's charge has been raised 8lb for that 10-length success and that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Watergrange Jack also won last time out over 2m4f at Worcester, but a 4lb rise for that neck success may leave him vulnerable to some better treated rivals, while Uggy Uggy Uggy should also be on the scene.

UGGY UGGY UGGY has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, closing all the way to the line when runner-up at Cartmel on his latest outing, and he can continue his progress as he goes up in trip. Bashful Boy isn't taken lightly, though, in his bid for a cross-code 4-timer, while The Height of Fame can also go well back at this course.
