ALL INN HAND has shown some improvement with a tongue-tie added the last twice and the addition of cheekpieces could enable the five-year-old to notch a first win. Woodythewoodpecker, who would be conceding weight all round if this was a handicap, is an obvious danger based on the official ratings. Dusky Spyglass won't need to improve by much to fend off the others and finish third.

This seems likely to be fought out by the two Welsh runners. ALL INN HAND may handle the ground better than Woodythewoodpecker.

With the step back up in trip not expected to pose a problem, SUMMERLEAZE appears well placed to supplement her facile course win from 10 days ago. Portobello Girl gets 10lb from the selection and should be capable of putting up a fight on these terms. However, as a previous course and distance winner, Bright Sunbird could be a more potent threat with her stamina more proven.

It's hard to oppose SUMMERLEAZE, who has been transformed by Olly Murphy in recent months and can extend her winning streak.

ALMAZHAR GARDE enjoyed an uncontested lead and wasn't for catching at Ludlow on his most recent start. A 5lb rise for that performance could prove to be lenient and the Charlie Longsdon-trained gelding could again be difficult to reel in. Climbing stays well and is a notable danger, while Nickelforce is handicapped to be winning races and is another to seriously consider.

Preference is for CLIMBING (nap), who is very effective at this track and who was a long way clear of the third when second last month.

Tactical Affair returned to form with a respectable second at Worcester 12 days ago and he must enter calculations off the same mark. However, the six-year-old will need to cut out the jumping errors and preference is for ROYAL MAX. The son of Maxios supplemented his breakthrough victory at Sedgefield with a decent third at Market Rasen and a similar performance may suffice. Chase debutant Culligran is also noted.

Royal Max was ahead of CAWTHORNE CRACKER at Sedgefield last month but the latter might turn the tables here.

ANNIE NAIL justified strong support in the market when scoring on just her second outing for the Tracey Leeson yard. The eight-year-old scored with plenty in hand and a 7lb higher mark could prove to be on the lenient side. Having returned to form with a solid third over hurdles at Kelso last month, chase debutant Irish Lullaby may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Kate Of The Lodge.

Last year's winner FANCY STUFF travelled well for a long way on her recent reappearance and could be primed to defend her crown today.

WINDSOR BLUE offered plenty to work with on her third-placed debut at Hereford last month and that experience could prove crucial. The sharp nature of this track should play to the Blue Bresil filly's strengths and she may be able to repel Rules debutants Lord Cauvelliere and Eddie My Eagle. The former got the better of the latter when scoring between the flags 43 days ago and the four-year-old may give the selection most to think about.

The 4yo colt JUST JOHNNY travelled sweetly for a long way in what was probably a much stronger race than this at Aintree in the autumn.
