THREE MACKS improved from first to second start when not beaten too far into fourth at Wincanton last month, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get her head in front. Charlie Longsdon's filly gets the vote ahead of Bushtucker Park, who was a promising third at Huntingdon on her hurdles debut, and her stablemate Princess Poppy on her first run for this yard.

A race which is unlikely to take much winning and THREE MACKS looks the way to go having shown plenty again from the front under her young rider at Wincanton. Bizzy Moon, from a family the Skelton yard has done well with, is very interesting in this company. Bushtucker Park could also figure.

The suggestion is THREE MACKS who ran well enough last time out at Wincanton to suggest she can win a race like this.

Runner-up on his last three outings, SALADAM deserves a change in luck and the step back up in trip can see him get off the mark at the fifth time of asking under Rules. The Olly Murphy stable is in fine form and the six-year-old is preferred to School Days Over, who has the potential to improve over further, and A Definite Getaway.

SCHOOL DAYS OVER returns to the scene of his bumper win last spring and is taken to make it fourth time lucky over hurdles, most likely at the expense of Olly Murphy's Saladam. A Definite Getaway looks best of the remainder unless the betting speaks in the favour of the selection's stablemate Night Duty, who has been off for nearly 2 years since his point win.

Although SALADAM is maintaining his form, rather than improving on it, he is reliable and perhaps wind surgery will make life easier.

Now that the penny has dropped for EMILY WADE after a comfortable success at Southwell, there should be plenty more to come from the daughter of Lucky Speed as she looks to overcome a 5lb rise. Erigmoor produced a career-best effort when second at Wincanton last month and he looks to be her main danger, ahead of the capable Rory And Me.

EMILY WADE had a bit up her sleeve when opening her account over a longer trip at Southwell just under 3 weeks ago, and with better still to come, Sam England's charge is fancied to make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights and follow up. Erigmoor improved for the switch to a handicap when runner-up at Warwick 4 weeks ago, but he may have to settle for silver once again, with 10-y-o Kajaki rounding off the shortlist.

This can go to EMILY WADE who was running in only her second handicap when successfully upped in trip at Southwell.

In not the strongest of contests, preference is for the Mark Walford-trained HAVING A BARNEY. He kept on well to score over a similar trip at Ayr last month and can have another big say in proceedings off 4lb higher. Dellboy Trotter was last seen finishing a disappointing fourth over 3m1f at Huntingdon in October last year and could bounce back, while Minella Choice also warrants a market check.

HAVING A BARNEY is on the up since sent handicapping and also displayed a good attitude when getting off the mark at Ayr last time so can defy a 4 lb weight rise. Secret Trix didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Lingfield and is next on the list, with dual C&D winner Dellboy Trotter not ruled out either after a break.

The unexposed MINELLA CHOICE, a creditable third in a novice hurdle here last time, is taken to get off the mark on his handicap debut.

Out On The Tear has been knocking on the door of late and must hold every chance of building on his most recent second at Ayr, especially given Toby Wynne knocks 5lb off the gelding's back with his claim. However, SNOWY CLOUDS caught the eye when bolting up over an extended 1m7f at Catterick in February and is expected to be thereabouts off 8lb higher, despite stepping up in class. Fabrique En France is another of interest.

SNOWY CLOUDS resumed his progress when making it 2 wins from 3 starts over fences at Catterick in February, scoring hard held albeit he was left clear early on, and the 7-y-o is open to further progress as a chaser. He can score again, with Out On The Tear the one who can give the selection most to think about. Fabrique En France is the pick of the remainder.

There are a few questions to answer in this field and SNOWY CLOUDS (nap) looks the most solid option.

With just the four runners lining up for this contest, JAY JAY REILLY gets the vote dropping in both distance and grade. He struggled over an extended 2m4f at Kempton in a Grade 2 contest in February and this seems a more suitable assignment for him. Great Heart'Jac was a comfortable winner over 2m at Leicester, also in February, and should not be dismissed up in class. Ballybreeze completes the shortlist.

Sound cases can be made for each of the quartet here, but JAY JAY REILLY makes most appeal from a mark just 3 lb higher than for his miraculous Kempton win. Ballybreeze was flying too high in the Arkle last month but merits respect back in this grade, whilst Stormin Crossgales and Great Heart'jac both have plenty to like about them in a strong-looking race for the grade.

A case can be made for all four of these but preference is for topweight JAY JAY REILLY who drops in class and still has potential.

BETTY BALOO handled these fences well on her only previous visit to this course and, having proven her stamina with a good second over 3m1f at Catterick 40 days ago, she could go one better. Tim Easterby's mare was well supported in the betting that day and another big run is expected with trip and ground to suit. Animal has a good record over fences and joins the first-time blinkered Eclair De Guye on the shortlist.

BETTY BALOO cemented an excellent start to her chasing career when second at Catterick and, now back from a short break, she looks the way to go. Animal isn't fully exposed over 3m and is feared most.

Recent form points to this being between Animal and BETTY BALOO, with the latter having less to prove if the ground turns good.

TAKE NO CHANCES, who swapped hands for 95,000 pounds after she won and Irish point-to-point, has posted two respectable efforts in bumpers since joining Dan Skelton and offers strong appeal in her bid to make it third-time lucky. The daughter of Milan has valuable course experience and is an interesting prospect going forward. Rockstown Native also won between the flags prior to joining Jonjo O'Neill and is going the right way. Kandor completes the shortlist.

TAKE NO CHANCES sets the standard and should be able to open his account at the third attempt. Bhaloo has been off the track more than a year since an encouraging debut but he's still worthy of respect, while Kandor looks a notable Rules newcomer having won a point.

Preference is for BHALOO, who was fourth in a strong race at Kempton in March last year, ahead of the promising Take No Chances.
