Battle Born Lad struck on his debut over hurdles at Hexham in October and should mount a bold bid, but he might find it tough to give 1lb KART D'ESTRUVAL. A hurdles winner in France, Dan Skelton's charge is related to plenty of winners and he looks to have found a suitable assignment on his British debut. I Play County was victorious in a bumper at Taunton when last seen in March and completes the shotlist.

French recruit KART D'ESTRUVAL is taken to provide the Skelton yard with its third winner in this novice since 2020. The 4-y-o looked highly promising in a couple of runs in France and he is not short of potential. Battle Born Lad made a positive start to his hurdles career at Hexham and, with the promise of better to come from him now upped in trip, he is second choice ahead of bumper winner I Play County.

Having got off the mark on his jumps debut BATTLE BORN LAD is taken to follow up by beating the ex-French Kart D'Estruval.

WEST BALBOA put in an underwhelming display on her first chase start at Worcester last time, but she should improve with that experience under her belt. If she can run to the level of form she showed over hurdles, then she will prove very difficult to beat. Farnoge finished third in a Listed event over the smaller obstacles at Perth in April and is an interesting contender on his chase debut, while Cadell can beat Edison Kent home for third.

WEST BALBOA was turned over when odds on for her chase debut at Worcester but she can be expected to leave that form well behind now moving back up in trip for the yard that has saddled two of the last three winners of this novice. If Farnoge's jumping passes the test he will likely emerge as the main danger, for all that Cadell first run over fences at Perth was not devoid of promise and he should have more to offer.

The choice is FARNOGE who looks the sort to make a useful novice chaser this term. West Balboa is an obvious danger.

A lengthy spell on the sidelines hasn't set LUCKIE SEVEN back because he has returned with a couple of Perth victories. The form of his latest win has been franked by the runner-up and 115 could be a lenient initial figure now Nicky Richards' useful prospect goes handicapping. Isle Of Sark and Kaituna River also dip their toes into handicap waters for the first time, although the biggest threat could come in the shape of Singapore Trip, who tasted success at Perth when last seen.

LUCKIE SEVEN had appreciably more in hand than the narrow margin of victory implies when defying a penalty at Perth in September and, open to more improvement now venturing into handicaps, he makes plenty of appeal. Welsh Charger has a good strike rate and reappears with his yard amongst the winners, so is second choice ahead of the lightly-raced Kaituna River.

The two unexposed sorts appeal most here with dual Perth scorer LUCKIE SEVEN (nap) preferred to Plumpton winner Kaituna River.

LIAM SWAGGER is part of a good team of early-season juveniles for James Owen and the Gredley family, and comfortably accounted for Torrent and subsequent dual winner Model Approach when making a successful start to his jumping career at Market Rasen. Torrent is much better off at the weights but, even so, Liam Swagger is fancied to take the next step up the hurdling ladder. Denzil didn't have much to beat at Stratford but still couldn't have done it any easier, while Static has picked up plenty of experience in France.

LIAM SWAGGER is a relative to one that connections have already enjoyed success with and he looked a good prospect in his own right when scoring easily at Market Rasen on his first hurdling outing, so he's marginally preferred to Model Approach, who should take a hand under a positive ride. Inspire Hope is another one to consider.

The vote goes to TORRENT, who was second to Liam Swagger at Market Rasen last time and can reverse the form on these better terms.

Galop De Chasse has been off for the best part of a year but proved by winning at Newbury that he goes well fresh. Midnight River has been absent for almost as long - since falling in the Coral Gold Cup - but is another who doesn't usually need a run to put him right. His stablemate Heltenham came to grief in the Ayr race in which PRAIRIE WOLF finished third and that seven-year-old is given the nod to get a win on the board for the new partnership of Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith, with last month's spin over timber here expected to have brought him to the boil.

Compelling cases can be tabled for each member of the quintet. PRAIRIE WOLF made good progress in this sphere last season and, with the promise of better to come from him this time round and a recent run over hurdles under his belt, he gets the nod. Galop de Chasse enhanced his good record when fresh by landing a Newbury handicap on his sole start of last season and he is a big threat, while Heltenham could be the pick of the Skelton-trained duo, despite jockey bookings suggesting otherwise.

A trappy handicap. PRAIRIE WOLF was a progressive chaser last season and he's readily forgiven his comeback run over hurdles.

QUEENS VENTURE made it two wins from two handicap starts when fairly bolting up over an extended 2m4f at Southwell recently, defying a 7lb penalty in the process. He races off an 11lb higher mark now, but the suspicion is that the handicapper might not have her where he wants her just yet and she is can complete the hat-trick. Knacker Trapper just failed to get up over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and, stepping up in trip off a 1lb higher mark, he must enter calculations. Sauce Of Life is also noteworthy.

QUEENS VENTURE is improving too fast for the penalty system to keep a lid on her, so she's taken to complete the hat-trick. Knacker Trapper and Bitsnbuckles can battle it out for minor honours.

This can go to QUEENS VENTURE who is 2-2 in handicaps and has plenty of scope for further progress. Knacker Trapper is feared most.

In a race stacked with unknown quantities, GLOBAL ECLIPSE gets the tentative vote. The three-year-old son of Pether's Moon is out of a half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run and, making his debut for the in-form Dan Skelton team, he may have enough in the locker to score first time up. Adaay Forever is a half-brother to several Flat winners and Alan King's gelding may emerge as the main danger, while 11,000gns purchase Snow Dragon completes the shortlist for a yard among the winners of late.

This is tricky to assess without the benefit of market clues but GLOBAL ECLIPSE is bred for hurdling where as the majority of his rivals have predomintantly Flat-based breeding, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start for a top yard. Romancier and Adaay Forever are both worthy of consideration bearing in mind their trainers should have them well schooled.

The market should be highly informative, but at this stage the vote goes to GLOBAL ECLIPSE, who is a brother to a French hurdle winner.
