12:10 Ma Belle Noire

Irish point winner Gaia Du Gouet will be feared if strong in the betting before today’s rules debut but MA BELLE NOIRE ran a big race when fourth in a big-field Aintree bumper last month and she ought to be a very tough nut to crack on today’s hurdling debut. Walk In My Shoes also enters calculations, although we may not see her best until she tackles longer trips.

Pens Man won his first two chases and will be dangerous if able to bounce back from last month’s disappointing effort at Exeter but ZUCKERBERG has been shaping very much as though his turn is near, and Kieren Buckley’s useful 5lb claim might give him an edge today. Bitasweetsymphony moves back up in trip after last month’s promising chasing debut and is next on the list, while it’s far too soon to write off Guetapan Collonges.

13:10 Debestyman

Bootlegger left the impression he had a bigger run in him when keeping on from well back to take second at Aintree four weeks ago and he looks a key contender, while Taste The Fear shouldn’t be written off on the back of one lesser effort and Geordie Des Champs is back down in class. It might be worth taking a punt on DEBESTYMAN though, with his Cheltenham second last autumn looking a solid piece of form. That came after a low-key seasonal reappearance and he may take a significant step forward from his recent return to action at Plumpton.

13:40 The Knot Is Tied

Bucko’s Boy still has potential as a hurdler and his antics at the start at Bangor were hopefully a one-off. He will be a danger to all if anywhere near his best, while Calvinist and Quick Draw also have something to recommend them. Novis Adventus needs a market check but THE KNOT IS TIED (nap) can be the answer. He followed his Fakenham romp with a perfectly serviceable effort at Aintree and today’s conditions should hold no terrors.

14:10 Storm Of The Light

Fine Casting and Tea For Free are both capable of better over hurdles, while it would come as no surprise were the well-related Gentle Connections able to make an impact on debut. STORM OF LIGHT would have got closer to his stablemate at Wetherby last month had he not been slow at the hurdles in the straight and he can show the benefit of that experience today.

14:40 Creative Inerta

Confidence in CREATIVE INERTA is quite shaky, given that all four of his rivals are very well handicapped, but he posted a good effort when third at Exeter recently and is the one with by far the least to prove in this line-up. Soupy Soups hinted at a possible revival on his latest outing and, with new headgear tried today, he is feared most.
