Having shown little in a handful of 2m starts, the money arrived for CALL ME ARTHUR over 2m5f at Exeter last month and he was only narrowly thwarted by Harry Fry's well-treated Danton. Tom Lacey's four-year-old is evidently thought capable of better and, though he's been raised 3lb, he could easily be ahead of the handicapper if handling this testing surface. Ingennio was only just denied when second in the mud at Newcastle last time and should again go well, while Olly Murphy's Bitsnbuckles is interesting over a longer trip on his handicap debut considering he once went close in a 3m point-to-point.

CALL ME ARTHUR showed much more than previously when just touched off by a fellow improver at Exeter 5 weeks ago, and with the prospect of more to come, he gets the nod to go one place better now. I Got Stung, Ingennio and Bitsnbuckles are others to consider.

Today's stiffer stamina test might unlock significant improvement from handicap debutant I GOT STUNG, who gets the nod.

Venetia Williams' Ottoline is likely to be a warm order following an emphatic win in gruelling conditions at Uttoxeter last week but she has to shoulder a 7lb penalty, as does Don't Rightly Know, who was touched off in a hard race at Wincanton last time having defied a long absence to win well over 2m7f at Exeter last month. Both should be firmly in the mix but may be worth taking on with hurdling debutant ONEANDAHALFDEGREES, who has shaped with encouragement in two decent bumpers and she's bred to appreciate this much increased stamina test.

DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW opened her account in good style at Exeter in November and backed up that effort when second at Wincanton 19 days ago, so she is taken to resume winning ways as she makes only her fifth start under Rules. The 8-y-o can see off the challenge of recent winner Ottoline, while Oneandahalfdegrees is one to note on her hurdling debut.

The pick is DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW, who backed up her wide-margin Exeter win with a good effort in defeat on heavy ground at Wincanton.

This looks a good opportunity for bumper winner HAURAKI GULF to deservedly break his duck over hurdles following five second-placed efforts. The eight-year-old was pitched into a deep handicap at Cheltenham on his reappearance and was in the process of running an encouraging race until being hampered by a faller two out. He should strip fitter with that blow-out under his belt and looks capable of winning off his present mark, although Grove Road will relish this stamina test back over hurdles after fluffing his lines on his chasing bow. Little Else only narrowly failed to land a hat-trick at Exeter last time and should again make her presence felt, despite another 2lb rise.

The obvious one here is LITTLE ELSE who can make it 3 wins in her last 4 starts. If a view is taken that Grove Road simply failed to take to chasing last time he's the danger as his reappearance third over hurdles at Ffos Las was creditable.

Easily excused his low-key reappearance run in a big field at Cheltenham last month, HAURAKI GULF can enhance his good record here.

Tedley sets just a modest standard based on the official ratings and, while he commands respect by remaining in maiden company rather than going for a handicap, it may be worth focusing on BARRABOOKA, who impressed by winning his solitary start in a point-to-point. Subsequently snapped up for 85,000 pounds, the son of Presenting starts out under Rules at a very realistic level and is by far the most intriguing option here. Nedzor is also considered now he has some experience to draw upon.

TEDLEY took a step forward when going down narrowly at Ffos Las last time and sets a clear benchmark on that performance. Point-winner Barrabooka is from the family of Oscar Whisky, so merits plenty of respect on Rules debut, with Chatshow Tv also considered returned to the scene of his promising debut.

A good second on heavy ground at Ffos Las recently, TEDLEY will be a tough nut to crack if in similar form here.

LIBOR LAD was in a determined frame of mind when he won at Uttoxeter last month and could be difficult to overhaul if he copes with the 6lb higher mark today. General Hubble jumped out to the left on occasions when winning at Market Rasen on his latest start and rates as the biggest threat to the selection now going left-handed off 3lb higher, while Hill Of Tara is also respected if turning up after Saturday's Haydock triumph.

A case can be made for a few of these but Kim Bailey's GENERAL HUBBLE overcame some sloppy jumping to score on his return at Market Rasen and can continue on the up and defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Uttoxeter-winner Libor Lad also arrives on the up and rates a big threat though, with both Rare Clouds and Hill of Tara weighted to have a say too in a competitive handicap.

Having won with something to spare at Uttoxeter last month, LIBOR LAD (nap) could still be ahead of the handicapper and gets the vote.

BILL JOYCE, who cost 225,000 pounds after winning an Irish point-to-point, looks an interesting recruit for Jonjo O'Neill to go to war with this season and the son of Mahler is fancied to make an immediate impact on his debut under Rules. Les's Destiny Star, who went for 150,000 euros at Goffs in June last year, also enters the reckoning based on potential, while Valfortore and Jax Junior might have to settle for supporting roles on their respective racecourse debuts. San Frandisco (won at Haydock on Saturday) would have to be of interest if turning up here too.

BILL JOYCE fetched a hefty some after landing a point in February and he's well worth a chance to defend his unbeaten record for all that there are some interesting newcomers in opposition, notably Valforte and Les's Destiny. San Frandisco, who showed a good level of form at Chepstow first time out, is also a player.

The most obvious answer is BILL JOYCE, who changed hands for big money after his Irish point win in February.
