FISTON DE BECON clearly benefited from the step back to 2m when scoring with the minimum of fuss at Southwell and, nudged up 4lb, he can bring up a double for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Toothless is the likely pace angle into the race but after hitting the woodwork on his last couple of starts, the suspicion is that the handicapper remains in control. Chanceux ran with credit when third in a higher grade over C&D last month and with his sights lowered, he is not discounted.

FISTON DE BECON got off the mark over fences in straightforward fashion at Southwell last month and a 4 lb rise may not be enough to prevent Olly Murphy's 9-y-o from following up. Toothless has hit the crossbar on both starts over the larger obstacles and he may have to settle for another silver medal, while El Muchacho (third of 5 at Fakenham on Friday) completes the shortlist.

Toothless is respected off his current mark but FISTON DE BECON is taken to follow up his Southwell win.

INSURRECTION finished a creditable third behind two classy types at Taunton before finding Listed company too hot at Exeter. Pitched back into calmer waters, this looks an ideal opportunity for him to return to winning ways. Maasai Mara comfortably accounted for a subsequent dual winner on his second start over timber at Catterick and he may emerge as the main danger, although Jour D'Evasion was progressive prior to pulling up over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back.

INSURRECTION has been given a bit of time since his slightly disappointing run at Exeter in February and can bounce back to form and prove too strong for Catterick juvenile winner Maasai Mara. Jour d'Evasion may prove best of the remainder.

Back down in grade, useful INSURRECTION is the form pick. Promising hurdler Maasai Mara is feared most.

SPRING GALE showed a lot more promise on her second start since undergoing a breathing operation when runner-up over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow and pitched into a handicap for the first time off what looks a workable mark, she edges preference for her in-form stable. Huntingdon winner Politacus appears to be the main danger, even though a 7lb rise asks a question of her. Another summer jumping campaign looks to await River Of Joy and she warrants respect off what may prove to be a feasible mark judging by the pick of her novice form.

Impossible to rule out any of these but preference is for POLITACUS, who produced a performance more in keeping with her fairly useful bumper form when getting off the mark at Huntingdon last month and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to stop her from following up (runner-up that day a wide-margin winner since). Mistral Milly is open to improvement now handicapping, so she can chase the selection home, ahead of Queshi Bridge.

There is no temptation to oppose POLITACUS, who needed only to be pushed out to fend off a next-time-out winner last month.

GLANCE FROM CLOVER was a five-length victor over C&D and he still held every chance when falling with four to jump at Warwick in a class 3 event subsequently. Alastair Ralph's nine-year-old remains on the same mark and he looks worth sticking with. Mortens Leam hit the line well to finish third over 2m7f at Taunton on his latest outing and he won't mind this extra distance off the same rating. Newcastle winner Has Troke holds an obvious chance too.

GLANCE FROM CLOVER was in the process of running well in a stronger race at Warwick last month when falling 4 out and can return to winning ways. Has Troke and Mortens Leam rate the principal dangers.

The Hereford factor brings GLANCE FROM CLOVER, Pilot Show and Family Pot to the forefront of calculations.

This looks like a golden opportunity for the standard-setting MONTECAM. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old only found stablemate Bhaloo too good on his debut over hurdles at Doncaster before making the frame over the same C&D next time. He is likely to prove difficult to beat, with his main danger possibly Native Moon, who showed a lot more ability when fourth at Taunton in December. The booking of Sean Bowen for League Clash makes him the most appealing of the rest.

A good opportunity for MONTECAM to get off the mark for Nicky Henderson. He's made a good start over hurdles in 2 races at Doncaster and this looks easier returning from a break. Native Moon can do better, while Scotch On Da Rocks, who was well backed when disappointing at Doncaster first time up, is probably worth another chance.

The clear pick on hurdles form is MONTECAM. Second choice is Valentia.

INOUI MACHIN had shown promise in some competitive contests prior to getting off the mark over hurdles over C&D last time. The unexposed six-year-old may have further improvement left to come and merits plenty of respect in this company. Legionar also won on his most recent outing, springing a surprise at Ludlow, and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Lemoncello should not be discounted on his UK debut.

PLAYTOGETAWAY shaped encouragingly after an absence when third at this course in January, travelling well for a long way, and he can build on that effort to resume winning ways upped in trip. Lemoncello ran to a fairly useful level in France and is respected as he makes his yard/handicap debut, with Legionar also considered.

With a 2lb rise in his mark looking manageable, INOUI MACHIN (nap) can follow up his solid C&D win. My Monty is second choice.

CARO DES FLOS arrives here on the back of two very impressive victories at Market Rasen late last year and the veteran merits the utmost respect as a result, despite the 129-day break. Nine Nine Nine has been running consistently well in recent months and could make the frame once again. Kings Justice edges out Kankin to be best of the rest.

KINGS JUSTICE has been in good order and was in the process of going close when brought down at Catterick last time, so he's fancied to make amends. The hat-trick seeking Caro des Flos is a threat and Nine Nine Nine can't be ruled out.

A chance is taken on BRING THE ACTION in new headgear. Nine Nine Nine is second choice.
