13:45 – Lumi Plugin

LUMI PLUGIN and Vendant are both appealing now they face a stiffer test.

Marginal preference is for the former, who appears to be on a good mark. He was raised just 2 lb for his close call at Leicester, leaving the impression that he’s ready to open his account.

Pure Theatre and last year’s winner, San Pedro, are both dangerous to discount off reduced marks, while top-weight Grove Road should also make his presence felt.

14:15 – Narragansett

Having shown plenty in juvenile hurdles at Market Rasen and Wetherby, NARRAGANSETT is taken to open his account here with the aid of a first-time hood.

He sets a high standard of form in this field and remains open to further improvement.

Under The Sun is a fascinating contender, given he was borderline pattern-class on the Flat. The booking of Harry Cobden suggests that connections mean business.

14:45 – John W Creasy

An open race where the vote goes to JOHN W CREASY, who’s getting the hang of things over fences now and was beaten only by a much-improved one at Warwick on New Year’s Eve.

He rallied well once headed on that occasion, and another positive ride like that at this course may see him hard to peg back.

Ede’iffs Rock is next best ahead of Walks Like The Man.

15:15 – Confinentic

CONFINENTIC was much improved from his hurdling debut when getting off the mark at this course in December, form boosted by the runner-up winning next time, and with this longer trip to suit based on pedigree, he can continue his progress to follow up.

Telhimlisten could be the main danger, having made a winning return back with Jennie Candlish ahead of Godot.

15:45 – Invincible Nao

There are plenty with claims here, but the one which stands out is INVINCIBLE NAO, who had a couple of these rivals behind when scoring at this course a fortnight ago.

That success wasn’t all that pretty, but he shapes like a horse who this marathon trip will suit, and a subsequent 4 lb rise in the weights isn’t insurmountable.

Supervisor and Vision de Maine head the list of dangers.

16:15 – Non Stop

NON STOP won over hurdles at this course on his reappearance in November and figures on a handy mark back over the larger obstacles.

The return to this sphere may spark some life into him and he’s taken to come out on top in what looks a weak handicap chase.

Jolyjump should appreciate the return to a left-handed track and rates the chief threat.

16:45 – Little Soiree

Chris Gordon has his team in form, so it might be worth siding with LITTLE SOIREE, who is 5 lb lower than when she was third on her handicap debut at Windsor in December.

The consistent Getmetothemoon is the obvious danger unless the betting speaks in favour of Neil Mulholland handicap newcomer Little Lady Lucy.
