BREAK MY SOUL may have disappointed when taking a keen hold at Ascot last time out, but she is better judged on her penultimate effort when narrowly touched off over the same track and trip. A progressive sort last season, the five-year-old remains with plenty of potential and she may have too much for Sunset Marquesa, who makes her handicap debut on the back of an easy success at Wincanton last month. Both arriving here on a hat-trick, Asian Spice and Tour Ovalie are leading contenders as well.

PANIC ATTACK ran well back from a long absence for her new yard at Ludlow and might be worth chancing to repeat her 2020 win in this. Sunset Marquesa slammed her rivals at Wincanton and is a major contender now handicapping. Asian Spice and Tour Ovalie are on hat-tricks and have to be respected.

Panic Attack is tempting but this could go to ASIAN SPICE, who has an improving profile and is taken to complete a hat-trick.

La Marquise is penalised for winning at Ludlow on her hurdling bow, but she should have more to offer and has to enter calculations. Koapey finished a respectable second at Ffios Las and is likely to prove competitive once again, while WOTTER TROTTER is another expected to improve. The four-year-old finished a promising fourth over hurdles at Huntingdon on his racecourse debut, despite being hampered in the early stages, and Dan Skelton's charge can show the benefit of that experience to feature in the finish here. The newcomer Akimos is worthy of a market check.

LA MARQUISE overcame inexperience and was value for extra when scoring first time up over hurdles at Ludlow, seeing off Thursday's Fontwell winner Kalium, and she looks a useful prospect. She can follow up. Akimos and 3-y-o Star Time are interesting starting out in this sphere, while Wotter Trotter can improve on his encouraging debut.

Productive filly LA MARQUISE could well prove capable of defying a penalty. Koapey is second choice.

It could pay to stick with the progressive SKYCUTTER, despite a 5lb rise for his recent success at Warwick. He made every yard to win with plenty left in the tank and there looks more to come on only his fourth start over fences. The Good Doctor never looked like catching the selection when second that day, but it was a respectable effort nonetheless and he can make his presence felt once again. The Famous Five showed promise when third at Windsor on his chasing bow and he is another to consider.

BALLYBREEZE has been given a chance by the handicapper back over fences and could be worth supporting after catching the eye on his return from a year off at Leicester. The Famous Five is just the type to better his fairly useful hurdles form over fences for Venetia Williams after a promising effort at Windsor and he's feared most ahead of Warwick 1-2 Skycutter and The Good Doctor.

Venetia Williams has won two of the last four runnings and THE FAMOUS FIVE gets the nod following his promising chase debut third.

GO TO WAR found one too good at Huntingdon on his handicap debut and first start for Nicky Henderson. He had a subsequent winner back in fourth on that occasion and has scope for further improvement over this longer distance. Mr Bramley returned to action with a victory at Wetherby and is progressing well over timber, while Mr Hope Street is another on the upgrade, though has been raised a further 8lb after scoring at Warwick. Rightsotom and Welsh Charger are others capable of getting involved in an open affair.

MR BRAMLEY continued his theme of race-by-race progress when a decisive winner at Wetherby on return a month ago and given his profile, he's selected to take the step up in class in his stride. There's depth to this race, with Go To War, Mr Hope Street and Spirit d'Aunou all of interest.

A hot race thanks to WELSH CHARGER, Rightsotom, Go To War, Mr Bramley and Mr Hope Street.

In what looks an open affair, HOE JOLY SMOKE gets the tentative vote. Dan Skelton's charge stripped fitter for a satisfactory second over 2m4f at Uttoxeter on his seasonal reappearance when fairly bolting up over 3m at Sandown recently and, upped 7lb, this upwardly mobile staying chaser could go in again. Henry's Friend lost little in defeat when fifth in the Coral Gold Cup over C&D last month and, eased 1lb, a bold bid for the gold medal would come as no surprise. Brave Kingdom and Surrey Quest are a couple of others to consider.

HENRY'S FRIEND looked a staying chaser going places last term and having returned to form over this C&D a month ago, he's fancied to build on that. Brave Kingdom finished behind the selection at Ascot last winter but he remains capable of better, with Hoe Joly Smoke another to take seriously.

There's no shortage of plausible each-way options but HOE JOLY SMOKE (nap) stands out in terms of potential.

Paul Nicholls bids for a fifth consecutive victory in this race with dual course winner Regent's Stroll, who supplemented his bumper success from last spring on his hurdling debut last month. He did well to recover from a bad mistake at the second-last obstacle and the six-year-old will need to have ironed out those errors to stop THE NEW LION. Impressive at Chepstow when beating a subsequent winner, the son of Kayf Tara won under a penalty over C&D last month and may prove himself to be one of England's leading novice hurdle prospects. Bill Joyce won well at Sandown in Grade 2 company and is likely to enter calculations.

The best of the early-season British novices clash in what should be a most-informative Challow Hurdle. Marginal preference is for THE NEW LION, who looked all quality when winning a C&D novice a month ago. Bill Joyce will get further in time but he remains of serious interest over any trip given his ability, with the highly-regarded Regent's Stroll a serious player, too.

Another exciting festive Grade 1 clash brings together the promising 5yos REGENT'S STROLL (narrowly preferred) and The New Lion.

INTHEWATERSIDE has the potential to be a lot better over the larger obstacles and Paul Nicholls' gelding is entitled to have benefited from his return here when third over hurdles. Shanagh Bob was disappointing on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter but is given another chance to showcase his potential, while the hat-trick seeking Menaggio bids to maintain his unbeaten record over the larger obstacles.

THEFORMISMIGHTY confirmed that he's going to be a much better chaser than hurdler when an easy winner at Southwell at the start of the month, and with this increased emphasis on stamina sure to suit, he holds strong claims. Shanagh Bob will surely show more this time, with Inthewaterside another of interest switched to the larger obstacles.

The Windsor run by ZERTAKT suggested that Venetia Williams has turned him round and can get off the mark with him over this longer trip.
