An open contest sees SAYVA get the tentative nod to earn a victory at the first time of asking over timber. The four-years-old won a bumper at Bangor-on-Dee when last seen in June and he makes most appeal in this field. Leader Wing hasn't been seen since his NH Flat race win over 2m1f at this venue in May and he is feared most, while former Willie Mullins inmate Felix Summus is another to consider.

A few in with chances but STRICTLY TANGO has shaped with promise in finishing third on both starts so far so he's taken to put that experience to good use and get the better of Leader Wing, who won a C&D bumper back in the spring and now makes his hurdling debut for a new yard. Sea Legend and Felix Summus and both newcomers to this sphere and can fight out minor honours.

The suggestion is SAYVA, who won on his second bumper start and is bred to make a jumper. Sea Legend is another to consider.

SEAN OG travelled strongly into the contest when second over 3m at Hexham on Friday and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. Dianne Sayer's charge is 1lb lower here and he could be difficult to stop. Chemical Warfare showed a likeable attitude when scoring over C&D last month, but a 4lb rise may halt his progression, while Whataboutyeh completes the shortlist.

SEAN OG was unlucky to bump into an upwardly-mobile handicap blot at Hexham on Friday and can go one better racing off 1 lb lower. Chemical Warfare resumed progress/winning ways over C&D last month and is an obvious threat, while Whataboutyeh shaped as if retaining all of his ability in the same race back from 14 months off and is entitled to come on for that.

This can go recent C&D winner CHEMICAL WARFARE, although Whataboutyeh ran really well behind him that day and rates the danger.

BELLBIRD ran with credit when finding one too good over 2m at Bangor-on-Dee last month and this extra yardage can see her go one better. Raised 1lb for that clear second, the four-year-old can go well for connections who have a good record at this venue. Knacker Trapper is the biggest danger based on the form of a facile success over 2m4f at Southwell on his penultimate start, while Final Edgar is also capable of making the frame.

GET A SUPERSTAR rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a breakthrough success in this sphere at the chief expense of Bellbird who rates a big threat on the back of her resurgent Bangor second. Bridgetjoans should strip fitter after her recent spin at Perth and is also in the mix along with course winner Final Edgar.

This intermediate trip may be just what BELLBIRD needs now, and she gets the verdict accordingly over Knacker Trapper.

JET OF DREAMS accounted for Clean Getaway (second) by two and a half lengths over C&D last month and he is only 4lb higher for that triumph. Warren Greatrex's six-year-old has lots in his favour and can complete the hat-trick. As for the latter, he looks the main threat after his subsequent second at Southwell. Of the remainder, Treaty Boy makes the most appeal on his return to the fray.

CLEAN GETAWAY is proving much more consistent over fences and holds obvious claims having only just failed off this mark at Southwell last week. Jet of Dreams had a bit in hand when scoring over C&D last month and rates a big threat, while Good Lord makes an interesting early switch to chasing having been much improved in handicap hurdles.

The in-form JET OF DREAMS (nap) can complete a hat-trick by confirming last month's C&D placings with runner-up Clean Getaway.

CAWTHORNE CRACKER showed a big chunk of improvement after undergoing wind surgery when bolting up in a conditional handicap over track and trip earlier in the month. The five-year-old is able compete off the same mark here and that makes him tough to oppose. Asa occupied the runner-up berth in this grade at Market Rasen in July and she should go well off 2lb higher, while A Day To Dream is also noted.

A breathing operation clearly helped CAWTHORNE CRACKER, who ran out a ready winner of a C&D handicap last week and because of the conditions of that race, he escapes a penalty for that. On that evidence, he'll take plenty of stopping, with Asa and Getaway Jewel feared most.

Any ease in conditions would compromise Cawthorne Cracker's obviously very strong chance, in which case ASA could capitalise.

CRAZY ABOUT HER shaped with plenty of promise when only finding a well-backed rival too good on her debut at Worcester in August. The daughter of Vadamos might only need to find minimal improvement in order to prove hard to beat. Riviera Walk changed hands for 78,000 euros and is related to plenty of winners, so she would be of interest if the market speaks in her favour. Of the remainder, Beorma is the pick.

Those with experience do not set the bar too high so in the hope the vibes are positive, RIVIERA WALK is selected to make a winning debut. Joto's dam won in this sphere so she's another likely type, while Crazy About Her and That's All Folks should be involved.

The 4yo CRAZY ABOUT HER looks the one to beat but newcomer Riviera Walk would be interesting if the market signals are strong.
