The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LAND AFAR sets the standard and is readily suggested as the first one to consider. The son of Kalanisi was second at Uttoxeter last month and, with that being just his second start over hurdles, there could be any amount of improvement to come with his yard in fine form. Laser Focus is feared most despite dropping in trip, while Global Esteem is respected but this is tougher than the selling handicap he won at Huntingdon.

LAND AFAR ran well behind a promising sort at Uttoxeter last month and can belatedly open his account here. Laser Focus and Global Esteem are the obvious dangers.

Fergal O'Brien's GLOBAL ESTEEM has had a productive time under both codes since August and he gets the vote ahead of Land Afar.

JOLYJUMP showed marked improvement from his chasing debut when he won cosily over 2m at Southwell last month and a 9lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the son of Kapgarde from registering back-to-back wins. Dromlac Jury can give the selection plenty to think about if building on her promising chasing debut at Bangor in October. Ostrava Du Berlais represents an in-form yard and cannot be ruled out on just her second run after having a wind problem addressed.

OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS can be expected to improve from her promising Warwick chase debut and makes plenty of appeal. Southwell winner Jolyjump also looks progressive and rates the chief threat.

Ostrava Du Berlais is respected but JOLYJUMP (nap) was a very stylish winner at Southwell last time and is taken to defy a 9lb rise.

Tour Ovalie had Love Tree (second) half-a-length behind when scoring at Hereford last month and she can confirm her superiority over that rival to go close. However, it may pay to side with ARCLIGHT, who hasn't been seen in this sphere since finishing well held in a premier handicap at Cheltenham in April last year. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old will find this a much easier assignment and her class might pull her through. Panic Attack completes the shortlist.

TOUR OVALIE was value for a bit extra over the result in overcoming some late interference at Hereford last month and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. C&D winner Brendas Asking seems highly likely to give another good account, with the likeable Ip Up completing the shortlist.

The pick is IP UP, who ran well in defeat over fences last month and remains well handicapped on the best of this year's hurdling form.

DREAMING BLUE was far from disgraced when finishing third at Wincanton on his latest outing and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Anthony Honeyball's seven-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to get back to winning ways. Frenchy Du Large filled the runner-up spot at Market Rasen in May last year and provided he is ready to go on his return, he could have a say. Strictlyadancer could be in the mix for the minor honours.

DREAMING BLUE, who ran well in this race last year, is a chaser on the upgrade and can resume winning ways on the back of an encouraging return at Wincanton. Only The Bold is an interesting contender starting out on a handy mark for his in-form yard, so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Frenchy du Large, who has a large absence to overcome.

Jamie Snowden's ONLY THE BOLD is given the verdict in the hope he has been reinvigorated by a change of stable.

Having filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings, another good account is forecast from Superbolt. However, the four-year-old is a further 2lb higher than his latest second at Hereford and he isn't certain to stay this distance. With that in mind, C&D winner CURRENT MOOD is taken to put her Hereford third behind her. Evan Williams' mare is only 3lb higher than her victory here two starts ago and she is unexposed in this discipline. Phantom Getaway is likely to be involved as well.

PHANTOM GETAWAY got his career back on track fitted with a tongue strap (also had a breathing operation) when runner-up at Ffos Las on return and should make a bold bid to go one place better. Superbolt has taken well to fences for this yard and rates the main threat.

He didn't jump well enough last time but BLAIRGOWRIE has strong claims if judged on his chase-debut second in January.

SERVICE MINIMUM offered plenty to work with when third on her debut at Uttoxeter in October and she could be ready to open her account. The second that day subsequently hit the frame in a Listed NH Flat race at Cheltenham and Dan Skelton's filly ticks plenty of the right boxes. The 130,000-pound purchase Jackie Hobbs scored on her sole outing between the flags and market support for her would be interesting. Pollyanna's Dream and I Am The Moon are also worth a second look.

JACKIE HOBBS fetched £130,000 following her Irish point win in the spring and having transferred to Harry Derham, she may well be up to the job on Rules bow. Service Minimum showed plenty to work on starting out at Uttoxeter so she's second choice, ahead of Pollyanna's Dream.

Bought for a six-figure sum after her winning Irish point debut, JACKIE HOBBS recently had that form boosted by the runner-up.
