13:20 – Mister Watson

Last season’s record is not persuasive but MISTER WATSON posted a good effort in defeat at the start of this campaign and can open his account if in similar form. Flammarion and Key To The Moon are both penalised for winning run-of-the-mill events but the latter has potential and is second choice.

13:55 – Up For Parol

This very interesting novices’ handicap might go to UP FOR PAROL, a course winner over hurdles who put in a good front-running shift when third in last month’s Persian War Hurdle at Chepstow. Jamie Snowden’s 5yo remains very lightly raced and last year’s easy Irish point win bodes well for his prospects over fences. Dock Road makes his chasing debut after a 325-day absence but he’s unexposed and will be feared if strong in the betting.

14:30 – The Grand Visir

Some of his rivals have potential but THE GRAND VISIR is a decidedly smart Flat stayer who has shown enough in his sporadic appearances over hurdles – including at Aintree only two weeks ago – to believe he’ll be the answer. Ottoman Style is a strong second choice, with Airtothethrone, Bowtogreatness and Fanamix the others expected to go on to better things.

15:05 – Le Tueur

A winner in points, LE TUEUR did well over hurdles last term, winning on handicap debut in November and finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts including over C&D. The type to make his mark over fences, he gets the narrow vote to come out on top. It’s unlikely we’ve seen the best of Powerful Position yet and he’s worth a look at the foot of the weights. Len Brennan completes the shortlist.

15:40 – Good And Hardy

As Fergal O’Brien’s team is in such high spirits it’s worth chancing that GOOD AND HARDY can return to something like his best. He has plenty in his favour, including a good handicap mark. Seaston Spirit won this easily 12 months ago on the back of a similar break and he could be dangerous, along with Oneupmanship and one or two others.

16:10 – Desque De LIsle

Progressive last autumn, DESQUE DE L’ISLE (nap) now returns from wind surgery and looks up to defying top weight. Whoshotwho is on a long losing run but still makes more appeal than most. Loco Coco’s form figures hardly inspire confidence but he’s still young and cannot be discounted.
