Knight Templar is a fair performer on the level and it will be interesting to see how he fares on his first start over hurdles, but he might be up against it taking on CLOTILDA. Paul Nicholls' three-year-old showed a fair amount of ability in his eight starts in France before changing hands for 100,000-euros in September. He is rated 127 coming into this weak event and can open his account. You And Whose Army faces a tall order and may struggle to land a blow.

CLOTILDA can call upon plenty of jumps experience in France and having transferred to Paul Nicholls, she should get off the mark in receipt of weight from Knight Templar.

Ex-French CLOTILDA remains a maiden but has shown that she can jump well and this race is weak. Knight Templar is the danger.

Bread And Butter was successful by half a length in this grade at Market Rasen last month and he should mount a bold bid in his attempt to complete the hat-trick. However, it may pay to side with ORCHESTRA, who scored over this track and trip last time and only has a 5lb higher rating to contend with today. Fergal O'Brien's four-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to record a double. Rialannah completes the shortlist.

Lewis Saunders partnered BREAD AND BUTTER to a pair of wins last month and a 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop them combining for another success, particularly as the conditions of this race allow his promising rider to claim 8 lb. In contrast, Callum Pritchard can only take 3 lb off Jubilant's back but James Owen's charge is a likely improver in handicaps and still rates a potential big threat. Last month's course scorer Orchestra may prove best of the remainder.

Handicap debutant JUBILANT is open to progress and gets the vote ahead of Orchestra.

ETERNAL ANGEL took the silver medal home on his encouraging debut in a bumper at Ascot last month and now makes his first start over hurdles. A 140,000-euro purchase, Nicky Henderson's four-year-old is related to plenty of winners and might be able to make an instant impression in this sphere. HMS President is the obvious danger after scoring at Kempton on his most recent outing, but a 7lb penalty makes life tougher. Of the remainder, Laurens Bay makes the most appeal after his second at Fontwell.

HMS PRESIDENT outclassed his rivals at Kempton a month ago and given his Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him in this sphere. He's therefore fancied to defy a penalty, possibly at the chief expense of Laurens Bay and Eternal Angel.

Solid LAURENS BAY looks the pick on hurdles form, ahead of HMS President. Another to consider is Eternal Angel.

PROTEKTORAT remains clear at the weights despite carrying a penalty for winning the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase in fine style at Cheltenham in March. Dan Skelton's high-class chaser will be sharper for last month's reappearance and could prove tough to beat at this level. Ginny's Destiny had the measure of Djelo (third) when runner-up in the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival and rates a threat on that form, while Minella Drama, a Grade 2 winner at Aintree on his return to action, is preferred to Nickle Back of the remainder.

PROTEKTORAT and Ginny's Destiny are closely matched on form but the first-named arrives on the back of a more encouraging reappearance and is marginally preferred. Djelo shaped well at Exeter and should benefit from the step back up in trip, so he's also a player.

Protektorat is respected at the weights and Ginny's Destiny remains of interest but DJELO is a solid alternative to that pair.

Milldam won three of only five starts last season, though all three of those victories came on heavy ground, and GO TO WAR makes more appeal. The latter ended last season with a double in novice company at Ludlow and, having switched to Nicky Henderson's yard during the interim, the six-year-old looks set to make a bold bid now handicapping for the first time. Rock House is worth a second glance off his current mark, while Bluegrass is upped in class after winning at Fakenham last month.

ROCK HOUSE may have disappointed after finishing third in a Chepstow Grade 2 last October, but it looks significant connections are persevering with him so he gets the nod to make a winning return at the expense of Go To War, who won a couple of novice hurdles at Ludlow last season and should have more to offer now handicapping on first start for a new yard.

With his form stacking up well, MILLDAM is taken to record another success. Progressive Go To War is second choice.

It was only late in the piece that SAFE DESTINATION was worn down when stepped up to 3m2f at Fontwell last month, and dropping back in trip looks like a good move on this occasion. A comfortable winner at Market Rasen on his penultimate outing, the six-year-old is narrowly preferred to Jack Sprat, who scored twice over hurdles here last season and has made a decent enough start to his career over the larger obstacles. A Definite Getaway may not be the most consistent but is well capable on his day, while the unexposed Muskoka is another to consider.

SAFE DESTINATION arrives at the top of his game which should count for plenty in a race like this. Jack Sprat and A Definite Getaway head the dangers.

Back at the scene of his hurdles wins, JACK SPRAT (nap) can open his chase account. Muskoka is second choice.

The Anthony Honeyball yard is usually one to follow in contests of this nature, and his KAPABILITY looked like a smart individual when scoring comfortably at Aintree on her debut in October. Harry Cobden retaining the ride is a big plus and it may be that Highland Haven gives her the most to think about, following a smooth first-time-out success at Ffos Las. A half-sister to the talented Go Dante, Fresh As A Daisy is an intriguing newcomer for leading connections, while point-to-point winner Supreme Malinas finished clear of the rest when a short-head second on her debut under Rules at Newbury and she must be respected.

A host in with chances but KAPABILITY marked herself down as a bright prospect when recording a smooth success at Aintree 6 weeks ago and, with further improvement on the cards, she's fancied to remain unbeaten. Second choice is Highland Haven, who barely came off the bridle to make a winning start at Ffos Las last month, while debutantes Fresh As A Daisy and There Runs Mary tick plenty of boxes on paper so need keeping a close eye on, too.

As regards the runners with experience, HIGHLAND HAVEN is narrowly preferred ahead of Kapability and Supreme Malinas.
