Fresh from success at Aintree last week, trainer John McConnell can saddle JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA to get off the mark at the fourth attempt under Rules. The seven-year-old was runner-up to a subsequent winner at Navan last time out and the drop in trip can see him in a better light. An impressive winner on his first run for these connections at Musselburgh, Ballyporeen is a key player, as is the consistent Chase A Fortune.

JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA has shaped well when runner-up in a couple of maiden hurdles in Ireland and is taken to make the most of the weight he receives from Musselburgh winner Ballyporeen. Chase A Fortune is clear third pick in a race where it's hard to make a case for many.

Irish raider JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA chased home a subsequent series final winner when second at Navan last month and gets the nod.

A determined winner here last time out, the consistent LES'S LEGACY is taken to follow up off a 4lb higher mark, with the step up in trip expected to suit. You Name Him has not been in action since September but was a cosy winner at Perth on that occasion, while Lissen To The Lady has been in excellent form of late at Hexham. Others to note include Coniston Clouds, Hashtag Boum and Topkapi Star.

LISSEN TO THE LADY took this contest 12 months ago and arrives at the top of her game so Sandy Forster's likeable mare is taken to emerge on top once more. Coniston Clouds is also on the up and feared most with this longer trip another positive, while the handily-weighted Topkapi Star and C&D scorer Deluxe Range are much respected too in a very competitive handicap.

Ruth Jefferson's HASHTAG BOUM would probably have made a successful handicap debut had that Sedgefield race been over this far.

Narrowly denied at Wetherby last time out and placed on all three starts in this sphere, top-weight WHERE'S HECTOR deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions very much in his favour. Thunder In Milan bounced back to form with a gutsy success at Musselburgh and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with Hexham winner En Meme Temps and Fever Roque.

WHERE'S HECTOR was just chinned at Wetherby last time and it's possible he has more to offer in this sphere. He gets the nod. Azof des Mottes and Fever Roque head the list of dangers.

Preference is for FEVER ROQUE (nap), who was second on good ground two starts ago and has since performed well again in a series final.

MAROWN returned to form when denied by a neck over 2m4f at Carlisle last month and Nicky Richards' charge looks to have been found a good opportunity now faced with a stiffer test. Bavington Bob hasn't been in the greatest of form of late, but he's now down to the same mark as his win in this race last year and shouldn't be underestimated. Domandlouis is 1lb out of the handicap on this rise in class, but the six-year-old arrives with less questions to answer than most.

DOMANDLOUIS hasn't had much racing over fences and arrives on the back of an encouraging showing, so he's marginally preferred to Marown, who shaped like a return to this trip would suit when second at Carlisle last time. Last year's winner Bavington Bob is also considered.

This might be best left to DOMANDLOUIS, who runs this track well and chased home an improver at Musselburgh last month.

Animore justified strong support in the market when romping home by 12 lengths at Ayr last month and she isn't taken lightly now 8lb higher in the ratings. Preference, however, is for ATLANTIC DANCER, who found only a rejuvenated stable switcher too good at Uttoxeter and Nick Alexander's mare may prove difficult to beat racing off the same mark. Noble Affair and Rae Des Champs make most appeal of the remainder.

ANIMORE resumed winning ways in good style at Ayr and, still feasibly treated following a 7 lb rise, she will take plenty of stopping. Next on the list is Atlantic Dancer, who arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts at Uttoxeter, while Rae des Champs will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward and Noble Affair also needs a second look.

Low-mileage 6yo RAE DES CHAMPS is interesting if judged on her second to a smart mare of Nicky Henderson's here just over a year ago.

Torngat arrives in winning form after scoring in his last two point-to-points and he could be a force to reckon with, but his form under Rules suggests he has to find more to hold off INVICTION. Ross Wilson's representative is rated the best horse here by the handicapper and was going well enough before falling in the race won by his rival at Overton. If he completes, he has every chance. Ballydonagh Boy and Baron Briggs are others to take seriously in a wide-open contest.

INVICTION isn't overfaced for his debut in this sphere and the winning pointer gets the vote over Ballydonagh Boy.

Five-time point winner BALLYDONAGH BOY has the strongest form and he's very consistent to boot.

Speed Davis set connections back a pretty penny after winning between the flags, though he had some luck that day when left in the lead at the last. He is one to watch on his debut under Rules, as is fellow point-to-point winner Marty Mcfly, who looks more stamina than speed. Hierachy dug deep to score at Ayr, but the nod goes to HEART ABOVE. Although third on his introduction, he hit the front two furlongs out before weakening late on and may do considerably better now.

SPEED DAVIS fetched £105,000 after landing a maiden point in December and he is certainly one of the more interesting candidates in this contest. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Hierachy is greatly respected and is likely to be on the premises. However, stablemate Master Bricklayer ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and he is second choice.

Donald McCain's well-bred new recruit SPEED DAVIS changed hands for big money after winning his Irish point and gets the vote.

LISNAMULT LAD was an impressive winner of his sole point-to-point in Ireland in October and he could provide yet another winner for trainer John McConnell on these shores now starting out in a bumper. Carrigeen Kali has posted two solid efforts in this sphere since returning from a 101-day break in February and is feared most, ahead of Lune De La Mer, who should have learned plenty from his Rules debut when third here.

CARRIGEEN KALI has made the frame on her last 2 starts, faring best of those held up when fourth at Carlisle last time, so she could be ready to open her account this time around. Lune de La Mer showed encouragement amidst greenness at this C&D on his Rules debut and is feared most, ahead of point-winner Lisnamult Lad.

The 6yo LISNAMULT LAD looks an interesting recruit from Irish points for his very progressive yard.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
