Samtara bolted up off a 4lb lower mark over an extended 2m3f at Hereford and enters calculations, but he could face a tough assignment off top-weight. Therefore, it may pay to side with SONNEMOSER, who arrives here following a creditable second to William Of York over 2m at Wetherby. Dr Richard Newland's six-year-old is better off at these weights, so he is more than entitled to reverse that form.

SONNEMOSER was behind William of York when second on his 2m handicap/yard debut at Wetherby last month, but he is 8 lb better off at the weights with Dan Skelton's charge this time if jockey claims are taken into account, and today's extra yardage promises to suit so he's taken to turn the tables. Last year's winner Hardy Boy looks best of the remainder.

Percy Willis is potentially very well handicapped but SONNEMOSER can take a good step forward now upped in distance.

This represents a drop in grade for BLUE BEACH, who kept on for second over a similar trip at Newbury on her latest outing last month. She seemed to benefit from the application of cheekpieces on that occasion and a 7lb penalty for a six-length success on her penultimate outing may not be enough to stop her here. Artemis Kimbo sports a first-time tongue-tie and is feared most, while Just Sophie is another to bear in mind.

MOVIDDY finished a fair way behind Blue Beach in a competitive handicap at Newbury last month, but she's much better off on these terms and is well worth another chance having created a good impression prior to that. Artemis Kimbo can prove best of the rest if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect.

The addition of cheekpieces sparked improvement from BLUE BEACH at Newbury three weeks ago and she can to gain a third success.

Only narrowly denied on his chase debut over 2m at Hereford recently, CHESTNUT PETE could benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. The gelded son of Native Ruler must hold every chance of being in the mix, but Master Malcolm bolted up over C&D last month and commands respect now rated 8lb higher for that success. Out The Glen and Duke Of Luckley add further spice to the mix.

MASTER MALCOLM has taken his form up a level since the blinkers went on and is weighted to follow up his easy C&D success despite taking a 8 lb rise. Tom Creen is proving a good advert for Sam England and is feared most ahead of C&D scorer Out The Glen and Hereford runner-up Chestnut Pete.

Olly Murphy's OUT THE GLEN has resumed from his absence in good nick and this front-runner should put up another bold show.

Disappointing when pulled up on his stable debut at Sandown last November, MATTERHORN showed his true colours when easily getting off the mark at Taunton last month. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up, and he gets the vote ahead of the comfortable Wetherby winner Cruz Control and Dancila, who has had a fine start to his career in this sphere.

This is a deeper race than the one MATTERHORN won at Taunton, but it was still a taking performance and he's fancied to follow up. Cruz Control and Dancila are considered the main threats.

All the hurdle-race winners are in the mix but DANCILA may well be the pick judged on the form he showed at Musselburgh and Taunton.

This can go the way of THE QUESTIONER, who has been plying his trade over fences this year but was in fine form when last seen over the smaller obstacles. The seven-year-old has only been outside of the first two once in his last five starts in this sphere, and that consistency can see him master the consistent Armchair Farmer, who is bound to make it a test from the front. Grillon De Monty and Lanspark cannot be ruled out either.

THE QUESTIONER was let down by his jumping at Sedgefield last time, but he'd been progressing well prior to that and looks interesting now returning to hurdles having won an Ascot handicap when last seen in this sphere. The step up in trip could suit Judicial Law, while Armchair Farmer can be give given another chance having possibly found the race coming too soon at Doncaster.

Running again so quickly provides a ready excuse for ARMCHAIR FARMER's latest start and he was thoroughly dominant a week earlier.

DROP HIM IN won over C&D last month and he must hold every chance of following up. The seven-year-old should be capable of upholding that form with Doyens De Ante (second), who has over five lengths to make up. Eurkash looked to still be going well when falling four out at Plumpton and the form of that race has worked out very well since, while Mister Tickle must be of interest for the in-from Gary Moore outfit.

DROP HIM IN has steadily found his feet for Olly Murphy and is taken to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his recent breakthrough C&D success. Doyens de Ante chased him home that day and is again fancied to fill second spot, with the handily-weighted Frau Georgia another to consider if on song.

Judged on the manner of his C&D win last time, DROP HIM IN (nap) may well find further improvement to score again.

Ever Ready arguably sets the standard of those who have raced so far having finished midfield on her debut at Wetherby last month, but a chance is taken on Jonjo O'Neill's well-bred LAND GENIE. The son of Flemensfirth is a half-brother to the magnificent Constitution Hill and he is sure to take some stopping if remotely close to that level of ability. Man Of My Dreams also requires a market check on debut for Ben Pauling.

The market should prove revealing but Olly Murphy's Flemensfirth gelding BORODALE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when an odds-on fourth on his debut at Market Rasen so gets the vote with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline. Newcomers Man of My Dreams (second choice) and Land Genie both appeal on paper and are in good hands so need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

It will be intriguing to see what the market makes of Constitution Hill's half-brother Land Genie. BORODALE has the proven form.

TIGGER was far-from disgraced when finishing sixth on his debut at Ascot in October and a similar effort may be good enough to come out on top in this open-looking contest. Crystal Mer was runner-up in a similar event at Doncaster last month and looks capable of picking up a race at this level. The Kemble Brewery makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would increase interest in Kim Bailey's four-year-old.

TIGGER showed up quite well in a decent race on his Ascot debut in the autumn and is taken to strike at the second time of asking for a stable which is traditionally strong in these events. Doncaster runner-up Crystal Mer is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Kim Bailey newcomer The Kemble Brewery.

Hey Brother and Mersey Street are likely improvers but TIGGER ran well at Ascot in the autumn and he gets the nod.
