This step back up in trip should suit Queshi Bridge, who was last seen finishing a staying-on third over 2m4f at Perth in April. Having gone well fresh before, it will be no surprise if she is able to make her presence felt in a race like this. That said, EITHER WAY shades preference. Nicky Henderson's charge reappeared with a game victory over 2m on her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, tackling this distance for the first time, she gets the nod to bring up a double. Of Course You Can can also go well.

EITHER WAY showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, while that wasn't a strong event, she can improve enough to defy a penalty. Queshi Bridge is an obvious player on return and Of Course You Can should give another good account.

Gently progressive last term, and with the absence no concern, QUESHI BRIDGE can get off the mark at last, ahead of Either Way.

NEON MOON produced a career best when scoring at Chepstow on his seasonal reappearance before making the frame in a deep race at Ascot and struggling in the Rehearsal at Newcastle. Easing in grade off 3lb higher than his last winning mark, he may prove tough to peg back in this company. Tightenourbelts arrives on the back of a taking victory at Exeter and he is respected off 3lb higher. Balkardy is capable if on a going day and shouldn't be underestimated.

TIGHTENOURBELTS jumped with aplomb when doubling his tally over fences at Exeter last month and, having been nudged up just 3 lb, Emma Lavelle's 7-y-o is fancied to go in again. The main threat may emerge from Neon Moon, who found the Rehearsal Chase too much at Newcastle recently but drops appreciably in grade here. The returning Christopher Wood can edge out Balkardy for third.

The safe play is Tightenourbelts but in new headgear a chance is taken on the wickedly unpredictable UNDERSUPERVISION.

The Kemble Brewery showed smart bumper form and impressed when justifying prohibitive odds at Ffos Las to bring up a hurdling double. Kim Bailey's bright prospect is evidently a novice hurdler very much on the up and another bold bid looks likely, although MEETMEBYTHESEA is narrowly preferred. He was the subject of market support when scoring over C&D on his Rules debut and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to take the next step up the ladder. The others may have to go some to challenge the aforementioned pair, but Last Rodeo is fancied to fill the frame.

THE KEMBLE BREWERY has been going the right way over hurdles, making all for a ready success at Ffos Las last month, and he can go on to land the hat-trick with the potential of more still to offer. The main danger looks to be Meetmebythesea who made a winning start over hurdles over C&D, with Doctor Love the pick of the remainder.

The Kemble Brewery is a hard horse to knock but MEETMEBYTHESEA receives a handy 11lb with Callum Pritchard claiming 7lb.

Venetia Williams has a good record at this track and newcomer PINK BREEZE hails from a family that the trainer knows well. A half-sister to the talented Cheltenham Festival runner-up Pink Legend, she is preferred to Harthope, who had Ninna Collina just behind her when second on debut at Fakenham. Blossom Tea has undergone wind surgery since not showing much at Warwick and she must also enter calculations.

A half-sister to 3 winners, HARTHOPE showed encouragement on debut when second of 3 at Fakenham last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. She can confirm the placings with Ninna Collina from when the pair met 29 days ago, while Pink Breeze is respected first time up with her yard continuing to go well.

A chance is taken on the newcomer PINK BREEZE who is certainly bred to be useful as a half-sister to multiple winner Pink Legend.

Runner-up on three of his four starts since joining the Kerry Lee stable, CABHFUILFUNGI deserves a change in luck and he might get that on this occasion. The eight-year-old has jumped well on both tries over fences and may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Famoso, who arrives on a career-high mark. Alcedo and Wewillgowithplanb have the ability to get involved in proceedings as well.

CABHFUILFUNGI has made a positive start to chasing and was only beaten at Uttoxeter last time by one that has gone in again, so he gets the marginal vote over Alcedo, who strikes as a fascinating chasing debutant for a yard that's flying. The likeable Famoso is also considered.

Kerry Lee's CABHFUILFUNGI (nap) has persuasive form claims after finishing second to subsequent winners in both his runs over fences.

ZESTFUL HOPE posted a much improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when touched off by an upwardly mobile rival at Uttoxeter and, with the headgear retained, a 3lb higher mark might not prevent the seven-year-old from going one place better. Chosen Templar has won over hurdles when fresh before and is a notable contender on his debut over the larger obstacles. Ask Brewster needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort here, but still rates a key player in this company.

ZESTFUL HOPE's second at Uttoxeter (when clear of the remainder) is comfortably the most compelling piece of recent form on offer and he's fancied to go one better at the possible expense of Ask Brewster, who has more to offer as a chaser if his jumping improves. Ex-pointer Chosen Templar is an interesting newcomer to this sphere.

Back down in trip and on a still workable mark, MOODOFTHEMOMENT is narrowly preferred to chasing debutant Chosen Templar.

SOLAR SYSTEM showed a game attitude when he landed a conditional riders' event at Warwick and simply encountered another progressive type when failing to justify cramped odds at Southwell subsequently. He was still well clear of the rest and looks worth another chance at this level. Sweet Street's Worcester chase success reads well in the context of this event and she is feared most back over hurdles. The reliable Melton Mossy also warrants serious thought.

SOLAR SYSTEM is on the up and was only denied by another improving sort at Southwell last time, so he's capable of getting back to winning ways. Melton Mossy also boasts a likeable profile and is feared most ahead of Thankyourluckystar.

Representing connections with such a good record in this race, FALCO DES PINS can exploit the drop in class, ahead of Solar System.
