Rules form is uninspiring and, though a point winner, he was well beaten when last seen in that sphere a year ago.

Bumper winner who showed fair form over hurdles for Dan Skelton but disappointed on chasing debut 14 months ago. Bit to prove debuting for new stable.

Timeform
Multiple point winner, including last time (Dec 12), so he's one to consider in an open race. Wears cheekpieces.

Court Cave gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including Italian 5f-9f winner Exotic Girl. Wears tongue strap. Three-time point winner, including last 2 starts (Dec 6, latest). One to note.

Winning pointer but sent off a huge price and unable to make a serious impression in hunter at Ludlow on Rules debut. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Premier Magic (8/15), I'm Wiser Now (3/1), No Limitations (14/1), Gottagottagetaway (14/1), Boss Baby (16/1), Caviar D'Allen (25/1), Staple Head (33/1), Idee De Garde (33/1), Top Garry (50/1), Earcomesbob (50/1), Jackie Daniels (80/1), Buffalo Sabre (100/1), Cydercourt (100/1), Vic The Vandal (100/1), Cave Queen (125/1)

Verdict

PREMIER MAGIC easily accounted for Wishing And Hoping in a point last time and is fancied to make a winning Rules debut for a stable that had a winner at Catterick earlier in the week. No Limitations, another multiple winner between the flags, could lay down a strong challenge, while I'm Wiser Now can't be dismissed given his fair hurdling form.
