A case can be made for all of these but marginal preference is for VITAL ISLAND, who won the La Touche Cup over this course in April. His most recent effort in France can be forgiven and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form. Enjoy D'allen could prove to be a class above these rivals if taking to this test, while Blast Of Koeman and Singing Banjo are others who could make the frame.

A number may have their sights set on targets later in the season but last year's runner-up SINGING BANJO has a particularly solid record at this venue and, with a recent spin between the Flags under his belt, the veteran could well be ready to strike. Enjoy d'Allen is an intriguing runner in this discipline and market support behind him would look significant. Birchdale and Mica Malpic are others worth monitoring.

Though he is probably more effective on better ground, VITAL ISLAND might be able to get away with this surface and notch another win.

TEN LENGTHS TOM looks set to relish this step up in trip judging by his effort over just short of 2m at Ascot a few weeks ago and Tom Lacey's bumper winner merits the utmost respect as a result. Chatshow Tv and Micro Millions both made the frame on their respective Rules debuts and are likely to go well once again, while Tough Approach also makes the shortlist.

A £150,000 purchase from points, CHATSHOW TV shaped with a good deal of promise when third on his hurdles debut at Warwick 3 weeks ago, and with improvement expected, he looks to hold sound claims of coming out on top here. Similar comments apply to Micro Millions and he heads up the dangers. Ten Lengths Tom and Tough Approach are others to be positive about.

It's not easy to judge who will come on the most but CHATSHOW TV earns the narrow vote following his encouraging display at Warwick.

ENOLA, a Listed winner on the Flat in France, is hard to get away from on hurdling debut. The Willie Mullins-trained filly has form on soft ground and given that she won over 10 furlongs on the level, her stamina is more or less assured. The champion trainer often introduces a nice type at this venue so she could potentially be quite smart. Maxi Mac Gold chased home a well-regarded horse when runner-up here on his hurdling debut earlier this month. Paul Nolan's gelding is entitled to improve from that run so should be a leading contender. Picture Of You doesn't have a great deal to find with the latter as she was just a length back in third in that aforementioned race. There is unlikely to be very much between the pair once again.

ENOLA displayed useful ability on the Flat in France and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles bow, she's fancied to outclass these. Maxi Mac Gold and Picture of You head the opposition.

All eyes will be on TULLYHILL as he makes his eagerly-awaited hurdling debut. Bought for 220,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale last November, the five-year-old created a deep impression when sauntering to victory at Gowran in March before running a fine race in defeat behind A Dream To Share in the Grade 1 bumper here. He has shown his versatility regarding ground conditions and is expected to make a winning start over timber. Shannon Royale is now tried in cheekpieces following his recent third at Thurles, while Rocco Boyo might be the one for third.

A winner of his only start in points, TULLYHILL quickly confirmed himself a decidedly smart performer in bumpers, successful at Gowran prior to finishing runner-up in Grade 1 company here in April. A most exciting debutant in this sphere, he's expected to prove tough to beat. Shannon Royale and Mister Pink rate most likely to give the selection most to think about.

Runner-up in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at this track when last seen, TULLYHILL will take all the beating on hurdling debut.

Johannes has to be of interest having scored on the level in France, while Valadon and Authoceltic are others who make the shortlist.

SALVER looked potentially useful when scoring on his Warwick hurdle debut and is taken to make light of his penalty. French Flat winner Johannes looks a likely type for a race like this, while Valadon and Authoceltic are newcomers with plenty to recommend them on paper.

Warwick winner SALVER is the form pick. French Flat scorer Johannes and interesting newcomer Authoceltic look the main threats.

LITTLE MISS DANTE had plenty in hand when winning impressively on her hurdling debut at Ayr earlier in the month and the daughter of Kayf Tara sets the standard, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Party Vibes only found one too good on her Rules bow at Chepstow recently and is an obvious threat to the selection. The point-to-point winner Lady In The Park should not be underestimated following a promising bumper effort at Aintree.

PARTY VIBES jumped fluently for a hurdles newcomer when runner-up at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and the 7 lb she receives from Ayr winner Little Miss Dante may prove to be decisive. Of the rest, winning-pointer Idylle Sauvage has transferred to an excellent yard so she demands respect.

READIN TOMMY WRONG looks a thoroughly progressive gelding who can strike at the first attempt over flights. Runner-up on his only point-to-point start, the five-year-old made an immediate impact under Rules when successful in two bumper starts back in May. Willie Mullins has given him time to develop over the summer and the gelding can repay that patience here. Stablemate Lisnagar Fortune won his bumper first time up but has since been a beaten favourite twice over hurdles. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding drops back to the minimum trip so has to be given serious consideration. Punchestown winner Walk Away Harry was relatively weak in the market prior to his recent hurdling debut at Limerick. The Charles Byrnes-trained gelding is sure to strip much fitter now.

READIN TOMMY WRONG showed useful form when winning both his starts in bumpers in May and can make a successful start in this sphere at the main expense of stablemate Lisnagar Fortune, who has been beaten twice at odd-on in this sphere. Well-connected newcomer Staffordshire Knot is one to note.

QUEST WITH SPEED was quite taking when opening his account in a maiden hurdle at Limerick on Tuesday. The six-year-old appears to be ahead of the assessor judged on that performance and he may be able to defy a 7lb penalty. Fellow handicap debutant Bob Cigar looks to be on a workable mark after some solid efforts in defeat in the spring and he may give the selection most to think about, ahead of last-time-out course winner Irish Envoy.

Lots with chances. MILLSTREAM LADY arrives on the up and with this longer trip also a likely plus then Eric McNamara's mare can quickly resume winning ways. Irish Envoy is next on the list on the back of his course success last time, with Gordon Elliott's handicap-debutant Bob Cigar also not taken lightly. Quest With Speed, Benkei and Ballycashin complete the shortlist.

Plenty in with a chance here. An each-way vote is given to DR VAL, a C&D winner who can improve from his seasonal debut at Cork

GETAWAY THEATRE confirmed the promise that she had displayed between the flags when winning on her Rules debut at Stratford earlier in the month and she could prove hard to beat once again with improvement likely. Hamartia has to be of interest on her first start for Neil Mulholland, while Von Hallers and Don't Rightly Know are the pick of the remainder.

Stamina is clearly GETAWAY THEATRE's forte following a gritty win on hurdles debut at Stratford 3 weeks ago and, kept to her own sex, she's capable of successfully defying a penalty. Hamartia is bred to stay well so is feared upped in trip starting out for a new yard, while Von Hallers will hopefully show what she's capable of this time.

Getaway Theatre should have a big say but this may be the right opportunity for HAMARTIA to build on her placed efforts in Ireland.

Autonomous Cloud has to be respected having won a competitive event over C&D in March, but his lack of a recent run may give the edge to BROOMFIELD PRESENT. Kim Bailey's gelding showed plenty of promise over hurdles last season and was far from disgraced on his chasing bow against more seasoned rivals at Exeter. With the benefit of that outing, he gets the vote. Step Above and Farmer's Gamble cannot be discounted, but the former is the pick of that pair.

None of the quartet can be ruled out but Kim Bailey's low-mileage 7-y-o BROOMFIELD PRESENT is fancied to build on the promise of his Exeter third and get off the mark in this sphere. Fergal O'Brien's improving Autonomous Cloud rates a big threat on his return though, while it would come as no surprise to see both Step Above and Farmer's Gamble take a big step forward from their most recent efforts.

After an encouraging chase debut at Exeter this month, BROOMFIELD PRESENT (nap) could be hard to beat on the slower ground here.

Clonmel winner HOUSEMARTIN could well defy the handicapper here off a 9lb higher mark. Amateur-ridden on that occasion, he is also minus that additional 7lb claim but Edward O'Grady's six-year-old looks one of the few progressive types in a field of mainly exposed runners. The Peter Fahey-trained Bukhill was well beaten at Cheltenham last time but that was unlikely to have been the gelding's true form. He had looked a nice sort when winning twice earlier in the year so it is much too soon to write him off on the back of one poor run. Tipp For Mac was pulled up in a point-to-point last time out but had previously shown enough to suggest he could win a race of this nature. The Tom Cooper-trained six-year-old should appreciate the drop back to the minimum trip.

THE TRUANT looked to be on a handy mark over hurdles at the end of 2022, running well when fifth at this C&D last November, so after a couple of outings on the Flat this summer he could be set to gain a first success in this sphere. Housemartin arrives on the back of a win last-time-out and could be the main danger, with Dontdooddson also considered.

It could pay to side with the four-year-old DGALWAYGALLIVANTOR who caught the eye at Downpatrick last time and could have more to offer

Anna Bunina would be hard to beat if reproducing the form that saw her finish second in a Grade 1 here in April. That said, her subsequent efforts have not been at that level and preference is for SHECOULDBEANYTHING. Gordon Elliott's mare readily won a Listed handicap at Killarney in August and was far from disgraced when third in an even stronger event at Listowel last time. Others to consider are Rioga Choice and Hispanic Moon.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING has built up a solid record over hurdles, producing another useful effort when third in a listed handicap at Listowel in September. With underfoot conditions holding no fears, she holds sound claims on these terms and looks the way to go. The returning Saylavee and Bloomfield Bijou may emerge as the lead threats.

KILBEG KING has to give plenty of weight away here but he was an impressive winner of a valuable handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April and that form gives him a big chance at this level. The consistent Issuing Authority has to be of interest on his return to action and mark of 122 should be workable for the son of Flemensfirth. Amrons Sage is another with strong form claims and Manorbank should not be underestimated either.

AMRONS SAGE was progressive over hurdles last season and this Irish point winner will surely do even better over fences being from the family of connections' very smart chaser Beware The Bear, so he could be worth chancing on return. Manorbank and Kilbeg King were also progressive over timber and both should come on for their comeback run/chase debut, while Hermes du Gouet is another interesting newcomer to this sphere.

Topweight KILBEG KING is first choice ahead of the Henderson runners Amrons Sage (narrow second choice) and Issuing Authority.

There weren't many more progressive hurdlers in training last season than THE IMPOSTER, who won six of his last seven races and was an admirable second in the other. He picked up where he left off at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago to take his game to a new level and must be stuck with, even though he has been bumped up another 5lb. Uno Mas made a decent enough return from the sidelines when fourth at Aintree but Bushypark didn't, finishing last of the finishers in a Pertemps qualifier. Better is expected, though.

THE IMPOSTER made it seven successes from his last eight outings when returning in great style at Ffos Las and is impossible to oppose despite having a career-high mark to overcome. Uno Mas made a promising return from a long absence when fourth at Aintree and appeals as the one to chase home Nigel Hawke's improver.

CINSA, who took full advantage of the easier task when scoring at Wexford last time, can make it back-to-back wins. The Willie Mullins-trained four-year-old was set some stiff tasks last season but wasn't disgraced in Grade 1 company. With another summer on her back, the former French-trained filly has the potential to develop into a nice prospect this term. It would be no surprise to see her end up back in black type races in a few months. Tomjackwilliam has to enter calculations having just lost out at this track last time. The Eoin McCarthy-trained gelding was well clear of the remainder and is a winner in waiting. Positive Thinker bids for the hat-trick having won over both fences and hurdles recently. While a longer trip may be desirable, he has the pace to cope with this drop back to 2m4f.

TOMJACKWILLIAM improved further after 10 months off when losing out only narrowly to a similarly progressive sort with a fitness edge over C&D 3 weeks ago and can one better with further progress likely. Positive Thinker is also on the upgrade and looks the obvious threat as he bids for the hat-trick, with Union Park another to consider.

IMAGINE wasn't that far off the better novice hurdlers last term and looked made for fences when justifying favouritism in a hot beginners chase at Fairyhouse. Even though he steps up in class, he may not actually meet stronger opposition and can continue his education while making it two from two. Uncle Phil won as he liked at Kilbeggan and Listowel, but a couple of ordinary Wexford displays suggest he may not be entirely reliable. Lucid Dreams, successful in a Gowran handicap off 133 recently, is therefore put forward as the biggest danger.

Gordon Elliott has bagged two of the last three runnings of this Grade 2 chase with smart sorts and looks to have another likely candidate in IMAGINE who made a striking impression when going in on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. Willie Mullins' Uncle Phil should ensure that the selection doesn't have things all his own way though, with Lucid Dreams appealing as the pick of the rest.

Tarahumara merits the utmost respect in his bid for a hat-trick but an 8lb rise for his latest win and a step up in class could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, preference is for the unexposed KING OF THE LAKE, who hit the crossbar in a novice event over C&D last month. A mark of 111 should be within his compass with further progression likely. Cases can be made for all of the remainder but King Alexander is the pick of them.

TARAHUMARA has made a bright start to his hurdling career, showing much improved form when making all in a big-field Warwick handicap last time, so he is taken to add to his tally with further progress to come. King Alexander could also still have more to offer for his leading yard and is respected, with Mot A Mot the pick of the remainder.

Interesting handicap debutants KING OF THE LAKE and Astronomic View head the shortlist, ahead of Tarahumara.

There was a subsequent winner back in fourth, so the form is solid, and Alex Hales' seven-year-old can go in again. Roger Rarebit held his form really well last season so didn't deserve to sign off with an Exeter mishap. He could progress again now sent over fences, while Haveanothergoflo is another to tackle the bigger obstacles for the first time. This winning pointer has had wind surgery ahead of his handicap bow.

DOYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN has the size to make a better chaser and duly made an encouraging start in this sphere when fourth at Chepstow on his return. He should come on for that and shades the vote over Kankin, who bettered his modest hurdling form right away when scoring at Huntingdon. Chasing-newcomers Haveanothergoflo and Roger Rarebit also need considering.

Gold Cup hero GALOPIN DES CHAMPS sets off on the path back to Cheltenham with him returning to the scene of his impressive display in this contest 12 months ago. The seven-year-old then passed his two major subsequent tests at Leopardstown and Cheltenham before not being at his best when only second to the reopposing Fastorslow here in April. Freshened up since, Willie Mullins' star performer is expected to turn the tables, with the drop back in trip unlikely to cause any issues. Fastorslow gained due compensation for a neck defeat in the Ultima to Grand National winner Corach Rambler with a career-best effort in the Punchestown Gold Cup. He remains open to improvement, but may have to play second fiddle on this occasion. Blue Lord and Asterion Forlonge appeal most of the remainder.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS took this event in great style 12 months ago en route to Cheltenham Gold Cup glory and is confidently expected to repeat the feat and put behind him his Punchestown Gold Cup blip when overturned by Fastorslow. Martin Brassil's upwardly-mobile chaser still rates the chief threat to Willie Mullins' top-notcher though, ahead of Blue Lord and Appreciate It.

C&D scorer Gerard Mentor comes here in good nick and is next on the list ahead of recent Chepstow victor Ito Ditto. Orchard Grove is worth a market check after a long absence too.

EN BETON was smart in 2020/21 and might be ready despite a worrying 665-day layoff. His 21-length win in a Punchestown beginners chase reads well (despite the favourite falling) and while he has had a setback, was withdrawn due to unsuitable going at Killarney last May. He has since had a summer's break, is retained by leading owners and might better his 141 rating. Dual winner Battle Of Mirbat is in form but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper, while Dundaniel has recent form in lesser chases and although 3lb out of the handicap, his rider claims 5lb. Riaan beat Percy Warner at Wexford in August, but disappointed at Listowel in September and returns from a mini-break. Three-time course winner Lucky Max is rated 7lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles and debuts in handicap chases. Falco Blitz finished ahead of Routine Excellence in a recent Galway run.

EN BETON has been off the track since well held in a Grade 3 at Naas almost 2 years ago but he made a sparking chase debut the time before so is worth another chance for his top yard. Dundaniel and Riaan are feared most.

Though well-held by Riann in a Wexford novice when last seen, PERCY WARNER might be able to turn that form around.

Although Rachael Blackmore is seemingly happy to look elsewhere GABBYS CROSS appears to hold solid claims with his latest Galway form having been boosted by the winner going in again since. Last month's Cesarewitch winner The Shunter heads the many dangers along with Jody Ted, a chase winner from a higher mark last month, and Shadow Rider.

Rated 113 over hurdles and thus suited by race conditions, he received 7lb from a 134-rated winner at Galway, with the third being rated 126 and work-in-progress Spillane's Tower finishing fourth. Macdermott, rated 116 over hurdles, won at Tramore in April and while he has the size to be a better chaser, has enough on his plate against more experienced rivals. Japers Jack ran well on chase debut at Galway (comprehensively beating Meetingofthewaters) and has place claims. Tempo Chapter Two is experienced and is rated 117 but was well enough held at Wexford, while Wellington Hill, rated 116, ran well in a recent handicap. Ideal Du Tabert was rated 114 over hurdles but is a maiden who debuts over fences, while Priory Park is a 10-race maiden over fences. Silver King was a disappointing beaten favourite on chase debut at Downpatrick last month, while Carrig Rock ran well enough on his fences debut at Fairyhouse.

HARTUR D'ARC surpassed the pick of his hurdles form when runner-up on chase debut at Galway a month ago and on that evidence, he rates the percentage call. Macdermott was going the righrt way over timber when last seen so has to rate a big danger on return, with Japers Jack also of interest.

If HARTUR D'ARC can repeat his close second on chasing debut at Galway then he will take the beating.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The Passing Wife posted a solid fourth on his racecourse debut over hurdles at Cork earlier this month and that experience should stand Gavin Cromwell's gelding in good stead on his bumper bow. However, there are two interesting recruits to this sphere in fellow pointer Prends Garde A Toi, who isn't taken lightly, and SOIR DE GARDE. The latter, a half-brother to five-time Grade 1 winner State Man, ticks plenty of the right boxes and he may have too much class for these rivals.

State Man's half-brother SOIR DE GARDE gets the nod to make a winning start to his career, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Gordon Elliott point recruit Prends Garde A Toi and recent Cork hurdle fourth The Passing Wife are the obvious threats.

Newcomer SOIR DE GARDE, a half-brother to State Man, may have the measure of point-to-point runner-up Prends Garde A Toi

15:45 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

DANTON stepped forward on his handicap bow when runner-up here over an extended 2m earlier in the month and the manner in which the six-year-old finished his race off suggested going up in trip would bring about plenty of improvement. Portentoso arrives following his best run to date since moving over here from France when second at Chepstow, while Malago Rose and Dylan's Double appeal most of the remainder.

The step up in trip should suit DANTON and he's taken to confirm the promise of his course handicap debut second earlier in the month. Lock Out hasn't taken to fences this autumn but is well treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival so he's second choice. Malago Rose and Portentoso also make the shortlist.

Topweight DANTON (nap) is taken to build on his promising reappearance effort and go one better. Dylan's Double is second choice.
