AUTUMN RETURN justified strong support in the betting when she won a similar race over the extended 2m4f circuit at Musselburgh last November and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent her staging a repeat success if she copes with the drop back down in trip. Similar comments apply to Lets Go To Vegas, who can make a fist of things if dropping back in distance doesn't inconvenience her. Holly knows how to win a race and is feared most from the remainder.

AUTUMN RETURN can boast a C&D win and Ruth Jefferson's likeable mare looks very much the way to go on the back of her recent Musselburgh victory. Lets Go To Vegas could emerge as the chief threat now she reverts to this sphere having been let down by her jumping over fences with Belles Benefit appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Most of these have questions to answer at the minute but not AUTUMN RETURN (nap) who is putting a progressive profile together.

A winner of point-to-point before making a successful debut under Rules in a bumper at Warwick last April, CHECK THE SCORE is an intriguing contender for Fergal O'Brien to go to war with this season. This looks a good starting point over hurdles for the son of Mahler, who heads the shortlist based on potential. Grand Albert has a similar background and is likely to be wiser after last month's introduction under Rules in a NH Flat race at Bangor, while Zain Nights warrants consideration having already hinted at ability in this discipline.

The market should reveal plenty but Fergal O'Brien's winning pointer/bumper scorer CHECK THE SCORE gets the vote now starting out in this sphere with this immediate step up in trip looking a plus for this son of Mahler. Grand Albert also merits plenty of respect on his hurdling debut with useful Flat stayer Zain Nights not discounted either along with Dan Skelton's new recruit G A Henty.

Point/bumper winner CHECK THE SCORE can score on his hurdles debut. Grand Albert and G A Henty are two others to consider.

ANGLERS CRAG made a successful debut for the Brian Ellison yard when he landed a class 4 handicap chase at Carlisle last month and, while this is more demanding, he displayed a willingness to battle that day and could be difficult to overhaul with a similar display of determination here. Lagonda is feared most on the back of a solid effort at Chepstow last time, while Moon Hunter can also go well, despite the burden of carrying top-weight.

ANGLERS CRAG overcame mistakes to beat a couple of lightly-raced chasers on his first start for his new yard at Carlisle last month so a 5 lb rise could well prove manageable. Lagonda shouldn't be long in winning over fences judged on her latest effort at Chepstow, with First Lord de Cuet capable of making his presence felt if bouncing back from a poor run at Bangor.

Conditions should be ideal for LAGONDA, whose stable is in such good form and who was a good second at Chepstow last time.

SCENE ONE didn't appreciate testing conditions when pulled up on his latest start at Fakenham as he arrived in search of a hat-trick of victories. The eight-year-old is capable of bouncing back from that display, especially with first-time cheekpieces being applied, and he can land this if finding top gear again. William Cody has been the bridesmaid on all three starts this campaign and he is expected to play a similar role once again, while Grey Skies is respected off just 2lb above his last winning mark.

WILLIAM CODY is taken to deservedly get his head back in front having found just one too good on each of his 3 starts since returning to action in November. He perhaps found 21.2f on deep ground too much of a test at Fakenham last time and the drop back in trip/better ground here will be helpful. Similar remarks apply to Scene One, who was pulled up in the same Fakenham race but he remains of interest nonetheless. Maninsane is third choice ahead of Grey Skies.

A trappy race can go to GREY SKIES who ran a solid race after a break when fourth at Carlisle last time. William Cody is next best.

CHARLES ST improved for stepping up in distance when gaining a first success in this sphere over C&D in November and the five-year-old could prove tough to beat, despite a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Homme D'Un Soir shaped well on his first start for new connections when third over a trip shorter than ideal at Doncaster. He commands respect, while the consistent Our Bill's Aunt is expected to be in the mix.

HOMME D'UN SOIR put in a good shift back hurdling on debut for Billy Aprahamian at Doncaster and, down another 1 lb and back up in trip here, he could be the answer to this trappy-looking contest. It remains to be seen if Charles St will reproduce the form of his C&D success last time but he'll certainly be a threat if able to do so, while cases can also be made for Haafapiece and Our Bill's Aunt.

The choice is HOMME D'UN SOIR, who ran well after a spell hunter chasing and pointing when third over 2m at Doncaster last time.

YELLOW JACKET may have just needed his first run of the season when ultimately proving no match for an easy winner at Bangor last month. The seven-year-old remains open to improvement on just his fourth outing over the larger obstacles and this may prove to be the ideal opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Cokytho and Hokelami appeal most of the remainder.

YELLOW JACKET didn't have much chance with the winner at Bangor on return but his superiority over the others was greater than the margin implies so makes the most appeal up against some out of form rivals. Cokytho at least took a small step back in the right direction starting out for this yard here on return last month so is feared most.

Brian Hughes takes the mount aboard YELLOW JACKET for the first time and, in a weak contest, this lightly raced chaser should go close.
