12:45 Restitution

RESTITUTION, a lightly-raced winner on the Flat, is in the right hands to do well as a hurdler, so he could be the answer to an intriguing opener. Illico des Places and Iceo both set out for new stables having won their sole outings in France and must be strongly respected.

13:20 Edwardstone

There’s a lot to like about the way EDWARDSTONE has taken to chasing and he sets a clear standard after winning the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase impressively at Sandown. Do Your Job created a good impression on his debut in this sphere at Warwick and retains potential following a mid-race exit in the aforementioned race won by Edwardstone.

13:55 Coded Message

Not a strong race of its type and 2019-winner CODED MESSAGE could be the way to go. She made a pleasing return at Ascot last month and, now 2 lb lower than for that last success, Ben Case’s charge should be spot on for this. This step back up in trip should suit Empressive Lady so she can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Bourbon Beauty.

14:30 Shishkin

Nicky Henderson’s last two winners of this Grade 2 have been Altior and Sprinter Sacre no less and he looks to have another mighty 2m chaser on his hands in SHISHKIN who dazzled when going unbeaten in five runs last term and is confidently expected to return in style here. Tingle Creek hero Greaneteen appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Sky Pirate in what promises to be a thrilling race.

15:10 Cap Du Nord

CAP DU NORD is potentially on a good mark on the pick of his efforts last season, including when runner-up to the well-handicapped Royale Pagaille (clear of rest) in this race off this mark, and should go well again on the back of a promising run in the Badger Beer. Fortescue and Canelo found the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury too demanding but should make much more of an impact here.

15:40 John Locke

The Skeltons landed this with a novice last year and can do so again via JOHN LOCKE. A useful performer on the Flat, he opened his hurdles account in good style at Huntingdon and makes his handicap debut in this sphere on a potentially lenient mark. Lord Baddesley is well worth a second look back hurdling and is next on the list ahead of Stream of Stars and the veteran of the party, Eddiemaurice.
