Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CLASSIC MAESTRO has been rattling the crossbar of late and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Saint Bibiana is entitled to build on her hurdles debut when fifth over 2m4f at this venue, with this emphasis on stamina expected to see her in a better light. She is feared most ahead of Rules debutant Free The Lion, who hasn't been disgraced between the flags.

This looks an excellent opportunity for CLASSIC MAESTRO to end his run of seconds. Course bumper scorer Saint Bibiana is the obvious danger.

The clear pick on hurdles form, CLASSIC MAESTRO looks poised to gain reward for his consistency. Saint Bibiana is feared most.

Although keen, West Warhorse appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when opening his account over 2m4f at Fakenham recently. A return to 2m in this contest may leave him vulnerable, with fellow last-time-out scorer LET'S GO JOE edging the vote. The gelded son of Cannock Chase won a shade cosily at Sedgefield last month and displayed enough speed that day to suggest he can cope with this drop in distance. Grand Albert and Chatshow Tv also warrant consideration.

LET'S GO JOE has to shoulder a 7 lb penalty for his Sedgefield success but still looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards. Chatshow TV could emerge as the chief threat if shrugging off a lesser showing here last time out, although Fakenham-scorer West Warhorse and newcomer Grand Albert could both also have a say.

Six-figure purchase GRAND ALBERT is taken to build on his Bangor bumper effort. West Warhorse is second choice.

BEAR GHYLLS shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when 16th in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He was quickly given a wind procedure after that performance and could be worth chancing on his reappearance off a 4lb lower mark. Benassi found only a subsequent winner too strong at Lingfield last month and he's likely to give another good account of himself, while Sizing Pottsie is noted too.

BENASSI bumped into one at Lingfield last time and is taken to go one better now. Bear Ghylls has been cut some slack by the handicapper and is a potentially dangerous opponent if ready to roll on his return from wind surgery.

Class-dropper BEAR GHYLLS could well record a first success since his useful novice campaign. Benassi is second choice.

BARNCROFT showed sizeable improvement after his underwhelming first outing for the Fergal O'Brien when hitting the crossbar in this grade over 2m4f here last month. He was put up just 1lb for that display and, if the son of Getaway takes a step up in distance in his stride, he could go one better. Newtonian ran a lot better than market expectations to fill the runner-up spot at Ludlow last time and could have a say, while Abbeyhill is in good heart.

Tom Lacey's CALL ME ARTHUR took his form up a notch when runner-up at Exeter last time and is weighted to go one better here. Barncroft got back on track when runner-up here and looks the one to give the selection most to do ahead of in-form Abbeyhill.

Being unexposed as a stayer and a very strong contender on recent form, ABBEYHILL (nap) gets the vote. Barncroft is second choice.

PENPAL returned from a long absence to deny his nearest rival by just over four lengths in this grade at Newcastle in May and, providing he returns in the same sort of form, he could prove very difficult to beat off a 6lb higher rating. The main danger is One Last Glance, who was 12 lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Lingfield last month and it would be no surprise to see him involved. Of the remainder, last-time-out winner Little Pi makes the most appeal.

Claims can be made for a few and it could just be worth chancing HARA KIRI. He has a lengthy absence to overcome but it would be no real surprise to see him hit the ground running for his new yard with his opening mark potentially very lenient. 3-y-o Feach Amach, Penpal and Little Pi head up the dangers.

With further progress looking plausible, LITTLE PI could well defy a 7lb rise for his Ludlow win. One Last Glance is second choice.

MOONLIT POTTER shaped with plenty of promise when finishing a fair fourth at Wetherby and, considering that was her first day at school, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance. She can find enough improvement to get off the mark in this contest. Jasmine Bliss finished fourth at Ludlow and now goes in a first-time tongue-tie, so she has to be respected along with newcomer Lady Nell.

Having won a point, JASMINE BLISS shaped well in a bumper at Ludlow first time under Rules and, if she can get going sooner, she could land this interesting bumper. Newcomers Big Ange and Lady Nell both make appeal on paper and Moonlit Potter has actually achieved the most in form terms to this point.

Slight preference is for MOONLIT POTTER, ahead of Jasmine Bliss.
