Whizz Kid found the drop in grade to his liking when winning at Doncaster last month, but he may be worth taking on now returned to this higher level. TOO FRIENDLY finished ahead of that rival when fourth at Ascot in February and looks the type who could improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Nayati wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Morebattle at Kelso last time out and is another to note.

Any number to consider in a red-hot renewal of the final of this series but BUBBLE DUBI likely remains ahead of the handicapper after his Stratford success and has good claims in a race that should be run to suit his striking strong-travelling style. Too Friendly is very interesting back over 2m in first-time blinkers, while last year's second Castel Gandolfo is one to note at likely bigger odds.

Bubble Dubi is respected but the now-blinkered TOO FRIENDLY has been running well for a while and he wants this sharper test.

GLOBAL FAMENGLORY found only a progressive rival too good at Huntingdon in January and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. La Gomera will need to put her Ludlow disappointment in December behind her, but Alex Hales' mare cannot be ruled out judged on her penultimate effort at Doncaster. Golden Glance arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.

GLOBAL FAMENGLORY shaped well from an unpromising position after 11 months off when runner-up in a 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon in January and has to be considered the one to beat on that piece of form. Golden Glance was grossly flattered by her proximity to the easy winner at Huntingdon last time but is clearly going the right way, while La Gomera is worth another chance back from a break having split two subsequent winners on her Doncaster hurdling debut before disappointing at Ludlow.

There should be a big run in LA GOMERA if she can recapture the form of her second at Doncaster. Her Ludlow effort is best forgotten.

MUCHO MAS defied an 80-day absence to win at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise may not prevent him from completing a hat-trick. Neon Moon has yet to win over fences in six attempts, but he has plenty of solid form to his name and can be expected to be in the mix once more. Frenchy Du Large shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in distance and also merits respect.

MUCHO MAS has much improved since upped in trip, scoring at Lingfield and Sandown on his last 2 starts, and remains one to keep on the right side of as he bids for the hat-trick. The unexposed Jeffery's Cross is next best ahead of Feivel, who looked progressive prior to his unseat at Wetherby.

It's easy to fancy a few, notably Mucho Mas and Feivel. However, course specialist ENQARDE has become temptingly treated.

ITSO FURY shaped better than the bare result when third at Ascot in February and, with that form working out well, Jonjo O'Neill's charge makes most appeal. Docpickedme has proven to be a revelation since being switched back to hurdles this season and a 6lb rise for his victory last time at Doncaster should see him remain competitive. Apple Rock finished just under four lengths behind the selection in sixth when last seen and he isn't taken lightly.

Jonjo O'Neill has landed this event three times in the past five years and his unexosed stayer ITSO FURY teed himself up perfectly for a bold showing when an eye-catching fifth at Ascot so gets the vote. Dan Skelton's Farmer's Gamble is feared most on the back of his emphatic Exeter success despite being clobbered with a 9 lb rise, with in-form duo My Bobby Dazzler and Burrows Park completing the shortlist.

Jonjo O'Neill targets this race having won three of the last five renewals and he has another live contender in ITSO FURY (nap).

DOMAINE DE L'ISLE bounced back to form with the blinkers refitted at Chepstow recently and another bold bid looks on the cards off only 3lb higher. Ballinslea Bridge wasn't disgraced when runner-up at Wincanton last week and Harriet Dickin's gelding should not be ruled out in this similar contest, while you can also make a decent case for Achille, who has dropped to a very attractive mark.

Chepstow-scorer DOMAINE DE L'ISLE will be the one to beat if turning up in the same form, with Stylish Moment and Cobolobo a couple of others that could get involved.

None of these veterans scores highly for reliability these days but DOMAINE DE L'ISLE produced the most persuasive recent performance.

In an open event, a chance is taken on SOME SCOPE, who was taken out of two intended runs on account of soft ground last month, so connections will be hopeful that isn't the case here. A point-to-point winner in May last year, he ought to relish a step up in trip on his handicap bow. Others to note include Marty Time, Here Comes The Man and Aldsworth.

MARTY TIME readily opened his account at Hexham last time and this extra distance holds no fears for him, so he's preferred to Here Comes The Man, who is also lightly raced. Some Scope looks an interesting handicap debutant up in trip.

There's 4f more today but MARTY TIME drew nicely clear over 2m4f on heavy ground last time and has run well in his only two handicaps.

UPAGAINSTIT made an immediate impact when sent over fences for the first time, recording a narrow success at Warwick, and a 3lb rise in the handicap could prove lenient given it's unlikely that we've seen the best of him. Croagh Patrick continues to run well in defeat and he merits a place on the shortlist, along with the consistent Fazayte.

CROAGH PATRICK bounced back to form at Carlisle last time and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive finale. Upagainstit and Fazayte are feared most.

A trappy finale with all seven worthy of consideration. FAZAYTE was a winner on his final run over fences in December.
