17/2
Not straightforward but proved more tractable switched to fences, runner-up on debut in this sphere at Hereford prior to going one better in good style at Uttoxeter (20f) in March. Returned with solid second at Fontwell (19.5f, good to soft) 63 days ago and can't be ruled out here.

Won 1 of his 6 starts over fences and returned with creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at this course (20f, good) 26 days ago. Should give another good account but others look better treated.

5/2
Dual winner over hurdles who advanced his form when landing 9-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Looks to have more to offer so he must enter calculations.

A fairly useful hurdler who has improved over fences, bagging 21f Ascot handicap in March. Beat only one at Wetherby on his return though so needs to bounce back.

9/4
Successful sole outing between the flags and matched hurdles form at first time of asking in this sphere when second of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and remains with potential over fences. Tongue strap on first time

Won over C&D 3 years ago and posted solid placed efforts, back from 2 years off, in a couple of starts last term. Further 12-month absence to overcome here, however, and others are more appealing.

Forecasts

Hoe Joly Smoke (9/4), Jupiter Allen (5/2), Passing Well (10/3), Beachcomber (11/2), King's Threshold (15/2), Tea Clipper (8/1), Jupiter Du Gite (17/2), Bali Body (14/1), Moroder (25/1)

Verdict

Preference is for HOE JOLY SMOKE, who made a good start over the larger obstacles at Uttoxeter in October and should appreciate the step back up in trip here. Jupiter Allen and Beachcomber head the list of dangers.
