SOLDAT FORTE has done well since switching to hurdles and he is taken to uphold form with Our Scholar (second) from their clash at Southwell in April. Charlie Longsdon's charge is in fact 3lb better for that neck victory, and a bigger threat could potentially arrive from The Big Jetaway, who would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his success two starts ago.

OUR SCHOLAR opened his hurdles account in a thin race at Warwick, but he'd shaped well in a stronger maiden on his penultimate start at Worcester and looks up to defying a penalty at this time of the year on that evidence. Soldat Forte is the obvious threat.

The solid option is SOLDAT FORTE who ran well at Ludlow. Our Scholar has a bit to find with the selection but not a lot.

A taking winner on his chase debut over C&D last month, CARLO DU BERLAIS should be open to plenty of improvement and a 5lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to follow up. Present Storm has been runner-up here over hurdles and her recent effort at Worcester wasn't without promise, while Dorado Dollar is a consistent sort that should be thereabouts as well.

CARLO DU BERLAIS made a winning start in this sphere over C&D and, with the likelihood of better to come from this 6-y-o, he looks the one to be on. Next on the list is Present Storm, who bettered what she has previously shown over fences when third at Worcester and will be a serious threat if able to build on that. Dorado Dollar is third choice.

Fergal O'Brien's CARLO DU BERLAIS looked a safe conveyance on his recent winning chase debut here and he's taken to follow up.

FOR GINA seems to have improved with each start over hurdles, and recent form figures suggest that a win may be just around the corner. Her latest effort at Fakenham represented a career best and if reproducing that, she should have enough to see off the likes of the recent C&D second Dancingontheedge, and Hey Frankie, who wasn't beaten far over further at Huntingdon last time out.

HEY FRANKIE lurks on an attractive mark and wouldn't need to build much on an encouraging return at Huntingdon last month to take this, so she earns the vote. Dancingontheedge would have won but for losing momentum over the last 2 flights over C&D on her most recent outing, so has to be considered a big threat, especially back against her own sex, while Citizen Jane is one to watch in the market back under Rules following a recent point success.

Sluggish jumps late on cost DANCINGONTHEEDGE (nap) victory here last time and her top yard's only runner on the card can make amends.

DO IT FOR THY SEN arrives here on an unchanged mark after landing the spoils at this venue last month and he gets the nod to repeat that feat. The nine-year-old was awarded the race on that occasion, after the winner was disqualified for taking the wrong course, and he can go well yet again. If he fails to fire, Line Of Descent can pick up the pieces after claiming a third career victory at Cartmel last month. Gouet Des Bruyeres found one rival too strong at Bangor-on-Dee and also merits consideration.

This looks to represent a good chance for LINE OF DESCENT to complete a hat-trick. Gouet des Bruyeres can give the selection most to think about.

The 7yo GOUET DES BRUYERES got messed about in a small field last time and he edges preference over Line Of Descent.

In a competitive contest marginal preference goes to HALIFAX, who recorded a second career victory at Ffos Las last time out. Despite being hampered before the second last obstacle, the six-year-old kept on well to justify favouritism and can repeat that success off 4lb higher. Tango Echo Charlie's sole victory came over course and distance and the Dr Richard Newland-trained gelding demands the utmost respect returning to this venue. Kilfilum Woods is another to consider.

KARAVOMYLOS has found just one too strong on both handicap starts so far but, with this greater test of stamina expected to play to his strengths and his yard in good form, Peter Bowen's 4-y-o gets the vote to open his account sporting a first-time tongue strap. Halifax doubled his tally at Ffos Las recently and he could offer most resistance, with Ali Star Bert also fancied to feature back over the smaller obstacles.

The 4yo KARAVOMYLOS has found his level in handicaps and this track promises to suit him better than Cartmel last time.

Bluebella is likely to prove popular in her current form, but a 4lb rise for her runner-up effort at Huntingdon last month may leave the five-year-old vulnerable. HASHEHADHISOATSYET ran his best race to date when third at Bangor recently and a 2lb drop in the ratings could help. The unexposed Horizon D'or has been given a break since his handicap debut in February and it's too early to write Neil Mulholland's charge off.

BLUEBELLA has improved for the fitting of a tongue tie in recent weeks, nicely clear of the rest when second at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago, and this isn't a strong handicap. She'll take some stopping, though Bowland Belle has a basement mark to exploit, with Hashehadhisoatsyet also of some interest.

Bluebella is solid but HASHEHADHISOATSYET perked up for the quicker ground at Bangor and he edges preference.

SNOW SHEPHERDESS lost little in defeat when finding only a previous winner too strong on her debut at Kelso last month and any improvement could make her tough to beat in this contest. Walk Of The Roses made the perfect start to her racing career in a bumper at Ffos Las in May and David Pipe's four-year-old cannot be discounted, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Point-to-point winner Melleray Hill completes the shortlist.

MELLERAY HILL won the second of his 2 outings in points and represents a shrewd yard on Rules debut, so he's marginally preferred to Walk of The Roses, who showed a good attitude to make a winning start at Ffos Las in May. Snow Shepherdess is another one to consider.

The pick of those with form is SNOW SHEPHERDESS who shaped well behind a previous winner at Kelso and can go one better.
