BARON DE MIDLETON burst back into life in a class 4 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen and is presented with a golden opportunity to go in again. Pulled up in three much tougher races prior to that return to form, the Brian Ellison-trained veteran is highly favoured under the terms of this race and is too hard to ignore. Foveros is officially rated 4lb inferior to the selection, yet edges it as best of the rest. Believe Jack is the pick of Olly Murphy's two entrants.

If BARON DE MIDLETON is in the same form as when winning in handicap company at Market Rasen recently he should take a bit of stopping. Olly Murphy pair Transatlantic and Believe Jack can give him most to do.

Brian Ellison's one-time useful chaser BARON DE MIDLETON scored in good style in this sphere at Market Rasen and is hard to oppose here

The class-dropping Hurricane Vichi is one to monitor closely in the betting on his debut for a new yard. However, this will be only his second run over fences and there are grounds for looking elsewhere given he concedes weight all round. CAERULEUM appeals most judged on his Exeter form two starts ago and now Sam Twiston-Davies takes over in the plate. Tara Cove and Deadly Missile complete the shortlist.

TARA COVE has already won three points and, while he was only able to achieve modest form over hurdles, there's a good chance he will up his game now switched to the larger obstacles, so he's preferred to Caeruleum, who made a positive chasing debut on his penultimate outing. Nine Nine Nine is also respected.

Low-mileage 6yo CAERULEUM is worth another chance. Tara Cove is second choice.

ROGER POL keeps attracting market support, justifying it in a Huntingdon bumper last spring and at the second time of asking over hurdles at Fakenham. He had to settle for second on his handicap bow at Ascot, but lost absolutely nothing in defeat and can continue on his upward curve. Awaythelad is an obvious danger after breaking his duck at Ludlow, while Bennettsbridge should appreciate the return to a more conventional track having not appeared to handle Fakenham.

AWAYTHELAD did the job well with cheekpieces enlisted at Ludlow and he is marginally preferred to Roger Pol. The latter was clear of the rest when runner-up in an Ascot handicap last time and won't go down without a fight.

The withdrawal of interesting Rocket Ronald promotes AWAYTHELAD to selection status, narrowly ahead of Roger Pol.

ANOTHER DAY OUT bounced back to form with a solid second at Sandown and a 1lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent her from finishing one place better. Cooleenymore's stamina appeared stretched in testing conditions when third over an extended 3m at Wincanton. She isn't taken lightly dropping back in distance and is feared most, ahead of the consistent Walk Of No Shame.

There has been enough encouragement to glean from COOLEENYMORE's efforts in handicaps to think her present mark is exploitable and, dropped in trip on the back of her third-place finish at Wincanton 50 days ago, she could well be ready to strike. Another Day Out and Walk of No Shame can pose the chief threats.

Robert Walford's mare COOLEENYMORE gave the strong impression this drop in trip would suit when third at Wincanton and gets the verdict

A 2lb drop in the ratings can help Nocte Volatus, who has been far from disgraced this season, for all that he hasn't managed to get his head in front for the best part of two years. He must enter calculations, but GRANDADS COTTAGE shades the verdict. Olly Murphy's gelding shaped better than the beaten distance suggested when third at Aintree on Boxing Day, with Dylan Johnston's 7lb claim potentially proving pivotal in this contest. Sheldon and Oxygen also warrant a second look.

Another chance is given to OXYGEN to show he's still on a good mark. Nocte Volatus has been performing with credit and a further 2 lb drop in his mark should see him get very competitive here. Top-weight Grandads Cottage should also have a say.

Venetia Williams' OXYGEN had looked a really good chasing prospect until fluffing his lines at Plumpton and can bounce back in style.

Point-to-point winner LADY BALKO likely found an extended 1m7f on the sharp side when fourth here earlier in the month. The stiffer test of stamina looks sure to suit David Pipe's mare and she could take this contest en route to better things. Passing Kate, who scored at this venue in November, posted a solid second at Ffos Las subsequently. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Well Paid Soldier.

The most interesting of these is JO LESCRIBAA, who looks nailed-on to improve now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Silver Atom should have a part to play on the back of creditable efforts at Hereford on his last two starts and he is second choice ahead of Passing Kate and Well Paid Soldier. Lady Balko is also worthy of mention.

The unexposed 5yo JO LESCRIBAA (nap) appeals as the sort to take a big step forward now going into handicaps and gets a confident vote
