The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

TIMETOSHINE has won three times on the level in France and although comprehensively beaten on her stable debut in that discipline at Lingfield last month, she appears to have been found a great opening on her NH debut. Wotter Trotter was a shade disappointing at Newbury but a repeat of his opening fourth over C&D should put him in the picture, while Guchen and Not So Sobers also bring decent hurdles form to the table.

WOTTER TROTTER wasn't up to quite a useful race at Newbury but his C&D debut prior to that was promising and he can come good back in slightly calmer waters. Guchen and Not So Sobers showed promise on their respective hurdle debuts and head the dangers along with Nicky Henderson hurdle newcomer Timetoshine.

The standard is set by WOTTER TROTTER. Ex-French Timetoshine comes from the Henderson yard and several others should be considered.

THANK YOU BLUE has clearly had his jumping issues, falling in two of his last three starts, but he still held every chance when coming a cropper three out at Perth last time and his stable have been firing in the winners of late. With William Shanahan taking a valuable 5lb off his back, he gets the vote ahead of chasing newcomer Stardhem, who has placed on his last couple of hurdle starts and also represents an in-form yard. Kankin completes the shortlist.

Having edged back down in the weights, PITTSBURG ran well when third behind a chasing debutant at this C&D a fortnight ago and he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark. He is preferred to Thank You Blue, who has been showing ability over fences but could do with brushing up his jumping, while Pescatorius also enters calculations.

All of these come with some risks. STARDHEM perhaps has the most upside now switched to fences.

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL has shown twice in his last four starts that he is dangerous when allowed to dictate matters and, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for last week's Newcastle success, he is fancied to dominate from the front again. If there is one to pester him it could be Tigerbythetail, who warrants plenty of respect following his first Rules victory at Catterick 10 days ago. Southwell scorer Playtogetaway will be waiting to pick up the pieces if they go too hard.

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL quickened right away in the straight at Newcastle last week and will surely be hard to beat if turning up in similar form under a penalty. Playtogetaway is feared most ahead of Gustoso.

A winner last week, PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL is the form pick if he backs that up. It's a new trip for Playtogetaway but he is feared most.

DIAMONDS GALORE showed promise in her three bumper starts, placing in two of them, and she now makes her hurdling debut for the Nicky Henderson team. The daughter of Diamond Boy looks to have found a suitable opportunity and could get off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere. Betty's Tiara beat Sea Presenting (third) when she occupied the runner-up berth at Ludlow last time and she can confirm that form in order to have a say. Dramatic Encore completes the shortlist.

It was by no means a strong race PISMO BEACH was runner-up in at Warwick last month, but she shaped notably well in coming from the opposite end of the field to the winner and is taken to get off the mark with the likelihood of further improvement. Smile Back and Sea Presenting are considered the main threats.

Betty's Tiara was just ahead of SEA PRESENTING at Ludlow but the latter came from much further back.

MORANDI SECOND produced a good effort when he finished second at Market Rasen earlier in the month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with today. Patrick Neville's six-year-old remains on a workable mark and he looks the one to beat. Dirty Den took the silver medal home at Wincanton last month and is a previous course winner to take seriously. Of the remainder, Soldier's Leap makes the most appeal.

FAR AWAY WEST found only an improving sort too good for her at Catterick last month and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Soldier's Leap and Dirty Den head the list of dangers.

The pick is FAR AWAY WEST (nap) on the back of a promising first run for Dan Skelton at Catterick last month.

Next Left hasn't been seen since finishing second two starts on the bounce in October and he's an obvious contender, but today's drop in trip doesn't appear to be of benefit to him. With that in mind, preference is for FLAMELCO. Sarah Humphrey's charge hasn't always been the most consistent over fences, but he impressed when scoring over C&D from 7lb lower last month and a return to that level of performance would make him a tough nut to crack. Rumoursareflying heads the remainder.

ROYAL KING has chasing experience from his days in France and arrives on the back of a solid hurdles run here last month. He makes plenty of appeal. C&D winner Flamelco is feared most.

A chance is taken on ROYAL KING, who acquired chase experience in France and should prove suited by the return to 2m.

Alexandra Larose took a giant leap forward on her handicap debut last month, as she went down by a narrow margin at Leicester. A 5lb rise in the handicap shouldn't be any barrier to success and she merits respect, along with recent Market Rasen scorer Seasmoke, but the vote goes to LOVE TRUE. The five-year-old looked set to play a leading role when coming to grief two from home at Catterick recently, she was eased 1lb for her troubles and, if none the worse for that tumble, won't be far away.

ALEXANDRA LAROSE was well clear of the third when narrowly denied on her Leicester handicap debut last month and is taken to go one better now. Love True had yet to be asked for her effort when coming down 2 out at Catterick last time and is a possible threat if none the worse, while Queen of Steel has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also merits respect.

Alexandra Larose and Love True are shortlisted but a chance is taken on QUEEN OF STEEL on her first run for Fergal O'Brien.
