Fine Point is entitled to build on his opening bid in this sphere when fourth at Sedgefield at the beginning of the month, but it is hard to look past the smart Flat performer AMBIENTE AMIGO. James Owen's filly has posted several creditable efforts in defeat on the level in recent months and she should take all the beating if transferring that ability to hurdles. Roi De Baviere is also worth a second look tackling timber for the first time.

AMBIENTE AMIGO is a different class to these based on her Flat form and getting weight all round, an adequate round of jumping will surely suffice now hurdling. Fine Point could be the one for the forecast.

This looks to be an ideal opportunity for AMBIENTE AMIGO to make a winning hurdling debut at the chief expense of Roi De Baviere.

Having destroyed his rivals in a conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Aintree on Sunday, SKYJACK HIJACK is sure to prove a warm order off an unchanged mark. That was the third consecutive victory for the six-year-old and a four-timer looks likely if coping with a quick turnaround. Velasco was progressive over hurdles last season and he should strip fitter for his fourth-placed reappearance at Hexham earlier this month. Susan Corbett's gelding could serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Mrs Tabitha.

SKYJACK HIJACK is impossible to oppose given he can race off the same mark as when a facile scorer at Aintree only four days ago. Jeteye appeals as the one to chase home Jennie Candlish's improver ahead of Steps Match.

Barring disasters, this looks a very good opportunity for the progressive SKYJACK HIJACK to add another win to his CV.

IORANGI DE L'ISLE offered much more encouragement on his reappearance when finishing third at Kelso earlier this month. This contest might not take that much winning and a similar performance from Donald McCain's charge may prove sufficient. The biggest threat may emerge from Sayva, who hit the frame on his hurdles bow at Sedgefield recently. Devon Skies is a possible danger if improving her jumping and she completes the shortlist.

Bumper winner SAYVA should have learned plenty from his hurdling debut and he's likely to improve enough to get the better of Iorangi de L'Isle, who sets the standard at this point. Devon Skies isn't without hope.

This looks a good opportunity for SAYVA to get off the mark over hurdles. Iorangi de L'Isle looks his main danger.

FLIC OU VOYOU was only collared late over an extended 2m5f at Kelso last month and this in-form gelding looks primed to offer another bold bid. Coqolino is feared most after a good second over 2m4f at Hexham earlier this month and, off 1lb better terms, he can reverse form with the reopposing winner Backbyjet. Boomslang is another to consider.

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to FLIC OU VOYOU, who proved that his Uttoxeter effort in July (dead-heated at odds of 66/1 but subsequently demoted to second) was no flash in the pan when going close at Kelso last time. He remains well-handicapped based on his exploits when in the care of Paul Nicholls and has conditions in his favour. There was much to like about the chase debut success of Boomslang and he is feared most ahead of Coqolino.

Preference is for BOOMSLANG who won in good style on his chase debut and should make further progress. Backbyjet is next best.

CAWTHORNE CRACKER was well in command when falling at the last over 2m1f at Sedgefield earlier this month and with a clear round of jumping, he looks primed to return to winning ways. The five-year-old will have to defy a 9lb hike but that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Grifter looks the biggest danger after a decent second over 2m at Perth in September, while Balranald heads the remainder.

CHICAGO GAL shaped as if back in form on her most recent Flat outing and gets the tentative vote to notch a second win over hurdles. Purple Gown isn't straightforward but potentially has a bit more to offer as a hurdler, especially when the emphasis is on speed. Cawthorne Cracker had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last at Sedgefield just over 3 weeks ago and warrants plenty of respect, also.

This can go to CAWTHORNE CRACKER who has improved for wind surgery and can make amends for his unlucky fall at Sedgefield last time.

CHEMICAL WARFARE travelled strongly into contention before recording an emphatic success at Sedgefield earlier this month. David Pipe's gelding, now four from 10 over fences, might still have more in the locker and an 8lb rise could prove lenient. Jimli's Island found only one too strong at Hexham recently and is likely to be on the premises again, while Lady Mendoza, who lacked fluency on her chasing debut last time, could step forward with that run under her belt.

JIMLI'S ISLAND has done little wrong for his new yard and will appreciate the step back up in trip after his solid effort at Hexham earlier this month. He gets the nod. Chemical Warfare and Ginger Pointe rate the principal dangers.

David Pipe found successive Sedgefield races to get CHEMICAL WARFARE (nap) back on track and he can complete a northern hat-trick.

Second in a point-to-point in March, CITY OF DIAMONDS represents a trainer/jockey combination that often do well around here and market support ahead of his Rules debut would be noteworthy. Travis Wheatley has tasted success between the flags and he must be considered on his NH bow, along with Masterpiece. The latter stepped up on his racecourse debut when not beaten far into third at Sedgefield latest and there could be more come.

This can go to a newcomer, with CITY OF DIAMONDS selected over Kids Say Lastgojoe and Travis Wheatley before any betting clues.

Irish point second CITY OF DIAMONDS represents a top team and he gets the vote ahead of Travis Wheatley.
