OUR SCHOLAR has been threatening to gain a breakthrough success in this sphere of late and the step up from 2m could do the trick. Dj Pete failed to build on an encouraging hurdling debut at Doncaster when beaten a long way at Lingfield, but better is expected in this weaker contest. San Fermin needs a recent wind procedure to get him back on track but he completes the shortlist.

OUR SCHOLAR was probably an unlucky loser at Worcester 16 days ago given how strong he was at the finish having encountered a troubled passage, and in receipt of weight all round, he has a lot going for him. Better is expected of Dj Pete back from a break, with San Fermin a potential improver with a tongue tie on having had a breathing operation.

The most obvious answer is OUR SCHOLAR, who has been involved in two tight finishes over 2m this spring and can improve over this trip.

HIM MALAYA may well have won on his handicap debut at Ludlow but for jumping out to his left, and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old is of strong interest now turned out again quickly. Pak Army has proven a different proposition since being refitted with blinkers and he must not be taken lightly, despite a 13lb rise for his Newton Abbot romp, since when he has won easily on the level. The unexposed Allihies likely has more to offer now given a mark and Dan Skelton's charge can't be ruled out either.

The Paul Nicholls-trained HIM MALAYA took a step forward when runner-up on his recent Ludlow handicap debut and is taken to build on that and open his account now. Dan Skelton handicap newcomer Allihies and Pak Army, who has found a new lease of life since refitted with blinkers, are the obvious dangers.

Pak Army and Him Malaya both have good claims but talented Flat-racer ALLIHIES is open to significant improvement over hurdles

POTTLERATH won a shade cosily at Worcester earlier in the month and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a double, despite a 7lb rise. Dorado Dollar arrives in good heart having finished runner-up on his last two appearances, but he's 5lb out of the handicap here. With that in mind, Marettimo, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Ludlow recently, may prove the bigger threat.

POTTLERATH has progressed with each run over fences and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise having scored with a bit in hand at Worcester. Ecossais is potentially on a good mark on his belated return so is next best ahead of Marettimo.

Still on a workable mark after last month's Ludlow success, MARETTIMO was not discredited when third there a fortnight ago.

CHAOS CONTROL was far from disgraced in sixth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at the Grand National meeting and he may have been let in lightly on his handicap debut. Izayte justified strong support when gaining a first career success at Warwick at the start of the month, with a 6lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid. For Pleasure has been tumbling down the ratings and a four-month absence may have freshened the Grade 2 winner up.

IZAYTE upped his game to score over C&D last time and, with more to come, he looks the way to go in a fairly open-looking handicap. Chaos Control is a big danger dropping back in grade and Bombyx deserves respect having shaped as if back in form at Ludlow earlier in the month.

Chaos Control is respected but recent C&D winner IZAYTE may still have further improvement to come.

MERCIAN PRINCE held on by half a length to make all at Kempton and he has only been raised 3lb. Amy Murphy's veteran looks to have conditions in his favour once more and he can make it a double. Saint Calvados was beaten under a length into third over an extended 2m4f at Ayr's Scottish National fixture and looks dangerous stepping back down in distance off 1lb lower. Light N Strike is much less exposed and could also have a say.

Intriguing fare despite the small field with a chance taken on former C&D winner SAINT CALVADOS. He confirmed he still has plenty to offer when third in an Ayr listed handicap 33 days ago and can make his presence felt back down in trip from an easing mark. Light N Strike and Only Money are a couple of others to consider.

After a creditable fifth in a hot 2m handicap at Punchestown last month, ESPION DU CHENET can make the journey from Ireland worthwhile.

SALLEY GARDENS outran his odds when beaten less than two lengths into third at Kempton, for which he was put up 1lb. The Olly Murphy-trained seven-year-old is fancied to take another step forward to score, with Lewis Stones claiming 3lb to further aid his chances. Last-time-out Fakenham winner Way Out returns to the handicapping ranks and has to be considered, while Cluain Aodha has been holding her form quite well and is another to consider.

Back over hurdles after 8 months off, SALLEY GARDENS ran up to his best when third at Kempton and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways with the usual cheekpieces reapplied. Course-winner Cluain Aodha was soon back to form when runner-up last time and is feared most, ahead of Future Investment.

Placed over an inadequate 2m in a recent chase, THE BIG LENSE (nap) looks very interesting off today's 13lb lower hurdle mark.

Presenting Yeats recorded a double when last seen in October, but he only had one rival to beat on his most recent effort and could come out second best here to BUTLER'S BRIEF. The eight-year-old has top weight to contend with but he has been dropped 1lb for a Warwick defeat, which puts him on his last winning mark. Grace A Vous Enki has been freshened up following an encouraging Doncaster third and is another to consider.

Milton Harris has his string in good order at present and his PRESENTING YEATS gets the vote to pick up from where he left off last autumn and complete the hat-trick. Grace A Vous Enki has looked a tricky customer, but there were more encouraging signs at Doncaster 3 months ago and he may emerge as the main threat. Grillon de Monty and Butler's Brief can fight out third spot.

Another chance to GRILLON DE MONTY, who flopped over C&D recently but produced a good performance at Huntingdon last month.
