BUTCH showed a fine attitude with his narrow-margin successes at Cheltenham last season and Olly Murphy's gelding has shaped as though fences will bring about another level of improvement. Farnoge looked to need his first run in this discipline at Wetherby and is expected to step forward, but Abbeydale has something to find on the figures and a bit to prove with regards to his jumping having fallen at Bangor last time.

BUTCH was comfortably the best of these over hurdles and will make a chaser, so there's every chance he can make a winning start in this sphere. Farnoge is next best.

Olly Murphy's BUTCH was the best of these over hurdles and should be difficult to beat with a trouble-free round.

NORTHERN REEL was an impressive winner here over a longer trip before finishing runner-up at Southwell when turned out under a penalty. The six-year-old has clearly benefited from the switch to fences and wouldn't need to have improved much based on her opposition. Jumbo Veste Verte may appreciate wearing cheekpieces for the first time, while any market support for the returning Thirsty Farmer would make him of interest.

NORTHERN REEL has taken well to this sphere and has a good chance of resuming winning ways with most of her rivals arriving with something to prove. Jikala shaped well back from a long absence on chase bow here earlier this month and is a clear next best.

This isn't a strong race and JIKALA ran a lot better than her margin of defeat implies here 23 days ago.

LATENIGHTRUMBLE made a successful handicap debut at Wetherby earlier in the month and the slight drop back in trip is unlikely to prove an inconvenience to the seven-year-old, who is a half-brother to smart hunter/cross country chaser Latenightpass. Peejaybee is capable of a decent showing back up in distance, while others for the shortlist include Superbolt and Wild Side Of Life.

LATENIGHTRUMBLE found only prevailing inexperience preventing him running out an even more decisive winner when taking a 10-runner handicap chase at Wetherby 21 days ago, and with further progress in the offing, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Superbolt heads up the dangers, with Wild Side of Life another not dismissed lightly having been well backed on his chase debut at Musselburgh 4 weeks ago.

Ludlow winner SUPERBOLT looks weighted to follow up with Jamie Brace taking 7lb off his back.

OVERABOTTLEOFRED remains unexposed and put in a career best when last seen in a novice handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter in May. If she transfers that form to fences on her return to action, Tom Gretton's mare could be hard to stop. Ronnies Reflection pulled up at Market Rasen on Boxing Day so Everyonesacritic might be the chief threat.

GAVROCHE D'ALLIER offered something to work on back from a long absence when third on chase/yard debut here 4 weeks ago so gets the vote with improvement on the cards. Everyonesacritic and Overabottleofred are others to consider.

Most of these have questions to answer but EVERYONESACRITIC did at least run okay last time behind an unexposed winner.

LADY PRETENDER bounced back to form when third over just shy of 2m at Wincanton 11 days ago and a reproduction of that level of form may well be good enough to take this contest. Time To Dazzle appeared to improve for a wind operation when second at Ludlow recently and is likely to be the main danger. The rest have questions to answer, but Jackpot Cash is the pick of them.

LADY PRETENDER took a firm step in the right direction when third at Wincanton last time and makes most appeal given how well handicapped she is on her French form. Time To Dazzle arrives on the back of a solid showing and can also make his presence felt, while Jackpot Cash isn't one to rule out.

The mare LADY PRETENDER emerged from the shadows with an improved effort at Wincanton and she edges preference.

HUNTER LEGEND left an underwhelming seasonal return well behind when second over this trip at Wincanton last time and Venetia Williams' seven-year-old sets the standard following that performance. Awaythelad was a bit disappointing when well held at Southwell most recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while similar comments apply to High Treason and William Cody.

HUNTER LEGEND finished last season well and returned to form with an excellent second to a well-treated rival at Wincanton last time. This looks easier and he's preferred to Awaythelad, who is unexposed as a chaser. Invincible Nao can also be considered.

The ground and trip look ideal for HUNTER LEGEND (nap) to build on his solid effort in defeat at Wincanton.
