EN AVANT got off the mark on his first attempt for Olly Murphy at Worcester in July and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for the seven-year-old to back that effort up, with a 7lb penalty unlikely to stop him. Izzy's Grey finished third on his debut at Bangor and is entitled to benefit from a step up in trip, while Grand Auld Tune appeals most of the remainder.

EN AVANT immediately improved for the switch to Olly Murphy when successful at Worcester last month and this looks a gilt-edged follow-up opportunity. Izzy's Grey can chase the selection home.

It's very hard to see beyond EN AVANT, who made all to win in pretty good style on his stable debut in July.

HE IS A CRACKER was no match for the winner at Uttoxeter last time, but it was still a very encouraging effort in second and he won't mind the step back up in distance. The seven-year-old is allowed to compete off the same rating and he could be the one to beat. Champ Royal has Harry Cobden booked for his debut over fences and he is one to watch out for in the market, while Janeslittlevoice has improved with each run this year and should also be considered.

HE IS A CRACKER has run well to be placed on all 3 attempts over fences and is the percentage call, although chase newcomers Champ Royal and Our Brother John, who has a point win to his name, could pose big threats if taking to this new discipline.

Winning pointer OUR BROTHER JOHN began his rules career with two encouraging hurdle runs and can make a winning handicap/chase debut.

YOUNG WOLF made all the running to score by over two lengths at Market Rasen last time and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent the veteran from going in once more. The main threat might be Gambie Tiep, who has been sent off favourite in each of his last four outings since joining the Ben Pauling stable and he could continue his solid form. Princess Midnight ran too bad to be true at Worcester last time and she could bounce back.

GAMBIE TIEP had excuses on his last 2 starts and remains of interest off his current mark despite his stamina being a slight concern here. Young Wolf has re-found some form after an absence and is feared most.

It's hard to predict whether his revival will continue but YOUNG WOLF was very useful in his prime and may follow up his recent win.

FORGET THE WAY gained compensation for his previous creditable efforts in defeat when landing a breakthrough success at Worcester last month and Alan King's gelding is fancied to make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings. Nibras Gold found only a subsequent winner too strong at Newton Abbot in late-july and is feared most off only 1lb higher, ahead of Thibault, who races off a 7lb lower mark than his last success in this sphere.

FORGET THE WAY has improved of late, confirming previous promise when running out a good winner at Worcester (2m) 31 days ago, and he gets the nod to defy a 6 lb rise. Nibras Gold and Thibault can emerge as the chief threats.

Seemingly back in form over fences for a new stable this summer, PAROS (nap) can be a more potent force on this return to hurdling.

NADIM found his winning spree coming to an end when finishing third at Cartmel on Saturday, having ran in snatches, with a first-time visor looking a good move by connections here. The Highland Reel gelding could regain the winning thread if travelling with more verve and gets the nod. Fort De L'Ocean wasn't beaten far when coming home in fourth over 2m at Huntingdon in May and may give the selection most to think about now up in trip, while it's too early to write off Callin Baton Rouge on the return to hurdling.

It could be worth chancing HILL STATION, who admittedly possesses a rather chequered profile but he put in a good shift when fourth on the Flat at Kempton recently and has been eased 5 lb in the weights since his latest start in this sphere. Nadim has been in fine form this summer and, likely to benefit from the fitting of a visor, he is feared most ahead of Fort de L'Ocean.

He made Bradley Harris work pretty hard at Cartmel on Saturday but progressive 4yo NADIM is the most obvious answer here.

HORIZON D'OR lost little in defeat when finding the progressive Slate Lane too hot at Bangor last Monday and Adam West's six-year-old is hard to oppose now racing off an 8lb lower mark. Fine By Me returned to form with a solid second-placed effort at that same venue earlier in August and shouldn't be far away, while Punches Cross has enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest that he can have a say in proceedings too.

HORIZON D'OR showed much improved form when second from out of the weights on his debut for this yard at Bangor 11 days ago and a repeat of that sort of performance should be enough for him to go one better. Fine By Me made a pleasing return at the same course and looks the main danger.

After finding only the short-odds favourite too strong at Bangor recently, HORIZON D'OR is effectively 8lb lower here.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
