There has been plenty to like about OLIVERS TRAVELS' two victories in bumpers and Peter Bowen's gelding should take some stopping if taking to hurdles at the first time of asking. Harel Du Marais wasn't disgraced when finishing third on his handicap debut over C&D and may put his experience to good use to give the selection most to think about. Here Comes Georgie and Belle Of Annandale are other jumping newcomers who are worth noting.

OLIVERS TRAVELS has impressed in bumpers and looks to have been found a good opportunity to continue his winning sequence on hurdle debut. Harel du Marais has had a fair few chances now but is an obvious threat on form, while Here Comes Georgie isn't dismissed lightly having shown promise in a Kelso bumper back in the spring.

Having finished runner-up in an Irish point and then won two bumpers, OLIVERS TRAVELS makes plenty of appeal on his hurdling debut.

A DIFFERENT KIND has relished the return to this sort of trip and a 4lb rise for his latest triumph at Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Champ De Gane often runs his race but has yet to get his head in front, with a bigger threat perhaps emerging in the shape of Silver Sheen, who enjoys an 11lb pull with the selection on his runner-up effort last time out.

A DIFFERENT KIND has got better with each start over fences, landing back-to-back novices' handicaps at Uttoxeter last month and he could well be the way to go in the hat-trick bid. Champ de Gane may emerge as the chief threat.

This could pan out as at Uttoxeter last month, with Silver Sheen's pacesetting teeing things up for A DIFFERENT KIND.

LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has proved a different proposition since returning to hurdling last month, with Olly Murphy's gelding appearing on a fair mark now tackling a handicap in this sphere for the first time. Well Planted is only 5lb higher for his recent C&D triumph and can't be discounted in his current mood. Too Friendly beat Castel Gandolfo in a competitive affair at Market Rasen and both are likely to be involved at the finish too.

This represents a much tougher task than that which LIVERPOOL KNIGHT has faced in winning novice events at Uttoxeter the last twice, but he's unexposed in this sphere and may well have more to offer now pitched into a handicap off a reasonable mark. Too Friendly outpointed Castle Gandolfo at Market Rasen last month and is taken to again get the better of that rival and emerge as the main danger.

In what looks quite a competitive handicap TOO FRIENDLY is taken to confirm Market Rasen placings with Castel Gandolfo.

The booking of Brian Hughes to ride last-start Hexham second Jimmy Rabbitte catches the eye, but he may have to settle for another place if RIVER OF JOY continues to progress. She has won her last two starts, over two miles at Ffos Las and two and a half miles at Southwell when running on strongly, suggesting this step up in trip may suit on her handicap bow. Red Happy drops in class on his return to hurdles and could be a surprise package.

RIVER OF JOY looks the way to go here given she starts life in handicaps on a lenient mark despite bagging a pair of novices at Ffos Las and Southwell this summer. In-form pair Dalileo and Petite Rhapsody appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Peter Bowen's improving mare in that order.

The choice is DALILEO, who hasn't won for a while but acts on soft ground and has been in good form over C&D recently.

Lucinda Russell won this in 2018 and has a chance to do so again with the consistent CASTLETOWN, a C&D winner last month and only beaten half a length here subsequently after idling close home. If he is held up for a later challenge, he may come out on top, although the hat-trick seeking Judge Earle is a major danger, for all that he does have another 8lb after making all at Worcester. Hermann Clermont drops in class following wind surgery and could run a decent race.

It could be worth chancing FAVORI DE SIVOLA, who is back on his last winning mark starting out for David Pipe. Judge Earle is seeking a hat-trick so is the obvious threat, with fellow in-form veteran Castletown best of the others.

Having come back to form recently JUDGE EARLE is taken to complete his hat-trick despite an 8lb rise for his latest win.

BORN FAMOUS arrived from Ireland as a maiden under Rules but she has been a revelation since joining Iain Jardine and is unbeaten in five appearances, three over fences and two over hurdles. She does need to shrug off a career-high mark, but she remains better handicapped over hurdles and may have another win in her. Malangen is potentially sitting pretty nearer the bottom of the weights and can go close now returning to a more suitable trip. Adamaris could also get involved.

BORN FAMOUS has proved a revelation since joining Iain Jardine and is strongly fancied to extend his winning sequence to six on the back of his thrilling Summer Plate success at Market Rasen. Adamaris also has plenty to recommend him though so should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way back hurdling. Beauty To Behold rates the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Having made great strides over fences for Iain Jardine, BORN FAMOUS (nap) will be hard to beat if repeating that back over hurdles.
