12:30 Fernhill Dane
Most of these have plenty to prove and this could revolve around the in-form pair in Lord Caprio and FERNHILL DANE. The former is a dual C&D winner who was placed behind an improver at Sedgefield last time, but the vote goes to the unexposed 5yo Fernhill Dane, who kicked off his handicap career with a clear third at Carlisle and is open to more progress on his drop back to 2m.

13:00 Sophie Olivia
SOPHIE OLIVIA is potentially well treated starting out for a new yard after 11 months so could be worth chancing. Esme Shelby only just lost out off this mark at Chepstow under this rider 10 days ago and is an obvious threat, while Grand Enterprise can hit the frame again.
13:35 Betty Baloo
Somewhat Cloudy held on by a nose over 2m3f at Huntingdon last time. She faces a much stiffer task today judged on the form shown by She Is A Contender at Tramore and both of them will be up against it if dual bumper winner BETTY BALOO takes to hurdling. Irish point winner Aazza represents an in-form yard.
14:10 Crack Du Ninian
Champetre made a winning return over hurdles five weeks ago and is strongly respected on his switch to fences, but preference is for CRACK DU NINIAN, who hit a clear personal best when scoring on his chase debut at Sedgefield last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair. Cooper’s Cross finished lame in that race but showed his true colours in winning yesterday, so he’s also considered.
14:40 Geonice
GEONICE is the only one going the right way and has only been handed a small rise for his C&D victory 8 months ago, so he’s a straightforward choice to go in again. Magic of Milan is on a good mark and shaped well when last seen, so he’s regarded as a danger along with the well treated McGarry.

15:10 Banana Joe
Supreme Steel is the most solid candidate on recent evidence but may still be vulnerable, for instance if Asking For Answers has ironed out his jumping problems. The 5yo Kaphumor could still have potential, so he is second on the list to BANANA JOE whose best run under rules last season was first time out. This novice handicap on his chase debut under rules looks an interesting choice of engagements for him on his return to Mel Rowley.
15:40 Crystal Glory
A few with chances, but CRYSTAL GLORY was unbeaten in two Irish points and this son of Fame And Glory can go in at the first time of asking here for his in-form yard. West End Lady opened her account in good style over C&D and is feared most, although both Here We Have It and High Moon can make their presence felt too.
