12:50 In This World

The ones with experience don’t set the bar too high and IN THIS WORLD, who won his sole start on the Flat in France, looks an interesting recruit to hurdling for the bang in-form Dan Skelton team. If the market speaks in his favour he the hint should be taken. New Reality is already a winner over hurdles and is respected under a penalty, while dual Flat-scorer Greystoke is another newcomer to note for Alan King.

13:25 Complete Unknown

COMPLETE UNKNOWN looked a bright prospect when comfortably landing a bumper at Thurles in March and, having joined Paul Nicholls since, he’s fancied to maintain his unbeaten record under Rules now switched to hurdling. Blue Stello warrants plenty of respect starting out for Nicky Henderson having been runner-up in a point, and Pulling Stumps shouldn’t be ignored in what looks a potentially strong novice.

14:00 King Roland

This looks a fascinating novice chase in which KING ROLAND is taken to build on his most promising chasing bow last term. He started favourite that day, but was no match for the smart Gumball and he has since made an interesting stable switch to Dan Skelton.

He remains with plenty of potential and can prove too strong for smart hurdler Edwardstone, who has another go over fences after unseating early on his debut last season, although both Do Your Job and For Pleasure aren’t taken lightly either as they both are chasers on looks.

14:30 First Quest

This has the potential to be a lively betting heat, with FIRST QUEST the percentage call as he goes unpenalised for his Wincanton win 12 days ago. He proved better than ever as he recorded his second win in his last three starts, easily drawing clear in the closing stages to win with plenty in hand, and he could have even more to offer. Mercutio Rock has the potential to take off now handicapping, while Fred Bear is an interesting three-year-old in receipt of a healthy age allowance.

15:05 Republican

REPUBLICAN is a low-mileage sort who returns to chasing with unfinished business after his short stint in this sphere was cut short last season, but that form is the best on offer here and he remains with the potential for better still.

The dangers are headed by Bali Body, a progressive hurdler, who appeals as the type to make a better chaser, and The Newest One, who impressed on the jumping score when opening his account in this sphere at Newton Abbot last month.

15:35 Mister Murchan

MISTER MURCHAN goes particularly well in testing conditions, but he is used to keeping better company than this over fences and should be able to make his class tell on his return to action. Potters Venture took a while to find his form last season, but he remains low mileage ahead of his chase debut, while Monty’s Award is another dropping in class.

16:05 Bridal Knot

The market should be informative here, but Nicky Henderson introduces BRIDAL KNOT, who makes a fair bit of appeal on paper being a close relative to the stable’s top-class chaser Might Bite, and therefore is selected to emerge on top from a clutch of interesting newcomers.

Fortuna Ligna is another who catches the eye on her first run, with Parkin Fire, Luna Dora and Lutinbella others who figure high on the shortlist in an intriguing mares’ bumper.
