13:40 – HOPE YOU DO
There is more to come from HOPE YOU DO and he makes plenty of appeal stepped up in trip. Neon Moon shaped well in first-time cheekpieces on his return/handicap debut at Cheltenham and must be considered, while Lettie Lutz is another to note.

14:10 – PATS FANCY
Both PATS FANCY and Dusart are open to any amount of improvement but preference is for the former, who made it 2-3 in this sphere at Chepstow just over 5 weeks ago and looks a chaser destined for bigger and better things. Nicky Henderson’s charge rates as a major danger provided he can brush up on his jumping technique, while it’s too early to be writing off Flash Collonges, also.
14:40 – FLYING SARA
A dual, fairly useful winner in bumpers, FLYING SARA has acquitted herself with credit in a pair of listed contests in that sphere this winter and she could be the way to go now hurdling in a race lacking depth. Ma Belle Noire should come on for her hurdles debut effort at Uttoxeter and is a threat, along with Midnight Callisto who boasts the benefit of plenty of experience.

15:10 – FINEST VIEW
FINEST VIEW made a promising start to her hurdles career when runner-up at Wincanton, and as a bumper winner from a successful family, she can build on that and perhaps improve by form-pick Credo. Hana Collonges will likely show a lot more this time and is best of the rest.
15:40 – JOBESGREEN LAD
JOBESGREEN LAD was impressive at Hereford last time and the third has already boosted the form. He can strike again. Ambion Hill, who was defeated by the selection a couple of months ago but is now 15 lb better off at the weights, is an obvious danger, while Carry on The Magic also warrants consideration on his second outing in this sphere.
16:10 – CHAVEZ
CHAVEZ and Ballyblack both arrive on the back of encouraging hurdle debut seconds and could be the pair to focus on. Paul Nicholls has a line on the former given that he chased home one from his yard at Taunton so it could be significant that he’s prepared to take him on with Chavez who gets a narrow vote. Thelasthighking and Last Royal are others likely to be in the shake-up.

16:45 – DON ALVARO
The Paul Nicholls-trained DON ALVARO bumped into a progressive sort when second on his Wincanton handicap debut in December and could have more to offer himself so he’s the suggestion in a competitive finale. A sound case can also be made for Cooldine Bog, Bean In Trouble and last-time-out course scorer Raddon Top.
