Last season's Imperial Cup winner ICEO failed to stay when stepped up in trip at Sandown in April. The five-year-old looks the sort who could take his form to the next level now making his debut over fences and is fancied to take this contest en route to bigger things. His former stablemate Timeforatune is feared most now under the tutelage of Evan Williams, while Mount Tempest could also improve now tackling the larger obstacles.

An excellent opportunity for Imperial Cup winner ICEO to make a winning start over fences with Mount Tempest (shaped as if amiss in April) and Timeforatune (sold for only £12,000 from Paul Nicholls in June) arriving with something to prove.

All three runners are good chasing prospects. MOUNT TEMPEST looked good over hurdles at Warwick in March and gets the vote.

With solid recent form thin on the ground, a tentative vote goes to six-year-old SYSTEMIC. Gary Moore's gelding performed well on testing ground when runner-up off the same mark at Huntingdon a couple of seasons ago. Absolute Ruler is another to consider judged on the pick of his form over hurdles this season, while Idilico could appreciate a drop in trip having failed to see out 2m4f at Perth in August.

It's reasonable to expect FOXEY to come on for his comeback run at Worcester where he was returning from a lengthy absence and, granted a more assured round of jumping here, the 8-y-o can make his second start for the Olly Murphy yard a winning one. Systemic is clear second choice ahead of Idilico.

COLONEL WHIZZ is a half-brother to a couple of Rules winners and he can be fancied to have been well schooled for his debut over hurdles. Well backed for a bumper at Market Rasen in May, the son of Soldier Of Fortune has given his connections cause for optimism. Afta Party has C&D experience and is feared most, while Damarta, a stablemate of the selection, is also considered.

Olly Murphy saddles a couple of interesting contenders in COLONEL WHIZZ and Damarta and it's the former who gets the narrow vote under Sean Bowen having shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in a Market Rasen bumper back in May. Roger Pol and Lone Solider are another couple of interest representing top yards and they should also be in the mix.

JET PLANE wasn't fully extended when winning over a similar trip at Ludlow when last seen and, having won two of his six previous starts over fences, he looks the type to make some further progress in this sphere. Tommie Beau has match-fitness on his side and is next best, although Investment Manager is a previous C&D winner who also commands respect.

JET PLANE looked better than ever when making all in good style at Ludlow in May and a 5 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable if backing up that performance. Bells of Peterboro has been given a chance by the handicapper back over fences and is next best ahead of the in-form Investment Manager.

He lost his way last season but FANTASTIKAS (nap), a very useful novice chaser in 2021-22, can exploit this significant ease in grade.

BEST MATE DAVE was 12 lengths clear of the third when denied by a neck over 2m7f at Worcester last time and he could show improvement for this further step up in distance. The son of Passing Glance goes off a 4lb higher mark here, which is unlikely to stop him from going one better. The recent C&D victor Ben Lilly has to be respected in his follow-up bid off only a 3lb higher rating, while Coal Fire will appreciate this step back down in grade.

This looks very trappy indeed and the suggestion is FORTUNATE FRED, who benefited from the step up to this trip when fourth in a big-field handicap here in August and he is appealing off the same mark. Coal Fire is likely to appreciate this stiffer test and he has to be feared, along with recent C&D scorer Ben Lilly.

The answer to a competitive race might be BEST MATE DAVE, who went down fighting against a next-time-out winner at Worcester last time.

SHERBORNE scored in comfortable fashion over C&D when last seen in May and that made it a double after his victory at Ffos Las earlier that month. The son of Getaway is 6lb higher than last time but, considering his rapid improvement, he could complete the hat-trick. Just Loose Change returns from a break after his victory at Taunton over 2m3f and he could get involved, while Rambo T will find this easier than his assignment at Haydock last time.

C&D winner SHERBORNE still looks feasibly treated and is fancied to score again. Just Loose Change and Rambo T rate the principal dangers.

With his breathing issues resolved, SHERBORNE got his career back on track with two wins in the spring. He gets the nod.

LADY BERLAIS was well held when last seen in March at Bangor but she was dropped 2lb in the ratings for that effort. The five-year-old has since switched yards to the in-form Dan Skelton stable and that could bring out the improvement needed to take this. Ryder's Rock wasn't entirely disgraced when seventh on her handicap bow over 2m1f here and she goes in a first-time tongue tie, which could eke out more. Baby Sham is capable at this level and is another to consider.

BABY SHAM had excuses on both outings since scoring at Fontwell in June and, after a short break, she's worth a chance to bounce back and land a weak contest. Lady Berlais is an obvious threat on debut for Dan Skelton and the market should be informative with regard to her chance.

Now 3lb lower than when placed in a big field on her handicap debut, LADY BERLAIS could be hard to beat on her debut for Dan Skelton.
