WASTHATOK was somewhat disappointing on his last run in this sphere when failing to beat a rival home at Clonmel, but Gavin Cromwell's charge has been running with credit on the level since and could take some stopping on the switch back to timber. All The Glory beat subsequent four-time winner Titanium Moon at Hexham in May and is feared most, ahead of Book of Secrets, who was quite taking when romping home over C&D earlier this month.

ALL THE GLORY was value for a bit extra over the result when opening her account at Hexham back in May and, with that form working out well, she's fancied to defy a penalty. Irish-raider Wasthatok has been ticking over nicely on the level and rates the main threat ahead of Roll With It.

Irish challenger WASTHATOK should be hard to beat if replicating the form of his breakthrough win in April.

A 3lb rise for First Revolution's triumph at Hexham in May looks more than fair, but the nine-year-old may be worth taking on now switched to a course with an emphasis on speed. PITTSBURG proved a different proposition when recording a first success over fences at Perth and holds leading claims. Ryan Potter's gelding now has conditional Finn Lambert on board to claim a handy 5lb, effectively resulting in him only carrying 4lb more. Ensel Du Perche bids for a hat-trick and is another to note.

PITTSBURG justified support at Perth and the way he scooted clear suggests he can defy a 9 lb rise. Gambie Tiep can be expected to get back on track after a short break, while last-time-out winners Ensel du Perche and First Revolution make this a competitive race for the grade.

A likely solid pace should ensure PITTSBURG doesn't get there too soon, and he's taken to deny Ensel Du Perche the hat-trick.

TOAD OF TOAD HALL came home in splendid isolation at Fontwell in May and Alex Dunn's gelding rates as the one to beat off only 5lb higher here. Young Wolf offered something to work with on his fourth-placed seasonal debut at Southwell last month, with the veteran fancied to emerge as the main threat ahead of Rebel Leader, who may be freshened up by first-time blinkers.

YOUNG WOLF is handicapped to win and showed a glimmer of promise when fourth at Southwell a month ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race that doesn't look like it will take much winning. Toad of Toad Hall was successful at Fontwell when last seen, so he's an obvious threat,, while Joyful Kit can't be completely dismissed.

This looks a good opportunity for TOAD OF TOAD HALL, who was a runaway winner at Fontwell last time and is only 5lb higher here.

Hapy La Vie has taken to fences well, finishing runner-up at Hexham on his first start over the larger obstacles before going one better when stepped up to 3m at the same venue. However, he is reluctantly passed over in favour of COPPER FOX, who had excuses at Worcester when the saddle slipped and is taken to get back on track. Can't Beat History should know more after his first chase outing at Worcester at the beginning of the month and can't be ignored.

HAPY LA VIE rather stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can make light of a 6 lb rise for Hexham. Copper Fox had an excuse last time and has dipped to 5 lb lower than when second at Stratford at the start of the summer so he's second choice ahead of Master Mead.

This can go to James Ewart's 6yo HAPY LA VIE, who made all at Hexham last time and is open to more progress back in trip.

Although this is his first start in handicap company, AJP KINGDOM is hard to oppose having won his last three races in impressive fashion and he is fancied to continue on his upward trajectory. Copper Beach only narrowly failed to back up his facile Uttoxeter victory when second at Aintree and is feared most, while the selection's stable companion Oslo remains unexposed at this level and is fancied to step forward from his recent Bangor comeback.

With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, COPPER BEACH looks the way to go. He lost little caste in defeat when losing out only to a fellow progressive type at Aintree and this 6-y-o remains on a feasible mark. Oslo is also moving up in trip and is respected on the back of an eye-catching reappearance display at Bangor, while stablemate Ajp Kingdom, who is gunning for the four-timer following a winning spree in uncompetitive novice events, has to be feared, too.

Top of the list is AJP KINGDOM (nap), who has won from the front in his last three starts and is a major player on this handicap debut.

A wind operation appears to have done the trick with DIANA PRINCE, who was a most impressive winner over C&D just under a fortnight ago and although 9lb higher this time around, she's fancied to make it two on the spin. Spot On Soph was successful in the other division of the race the selection won and must enter calculations after receiving the same rise. Last year's winning combination of Misty Mani and Luke Scott team up again and Peter Niven's mare is worth a check in the betting for any support.

DIANA PRINCE improved markedly for the switch to handicaps when scoring in taking fashion over C&D last time and this point winner has the scope for further progress, so she's preferred to Spot On Soph, who also tasted success here last time. Pateen also merits consideration.

Each winners of a division of a C&D 0-100 here last time, the less exposed hurdler DIANA PRINCE is preferred to Spot On Soph.
