13/8
Useful, dual-winning hurdler who shaped well under a positive ride when second over C&D 41 days ago. That form has been boosted by the winner since, so he makes plenty of appeal.

15/8
Useful hurdler who, following a lengthy absence, upped his form substantially when making all at Plumpton on chasing debut last month. Jumping seems an asset and there could be a good deal more to come, so he's worth a chance to follow up.

18/1
Dual maiden/novice hurdle winner last term who has improved again this campaign, running out a good winner of a Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day. Raced keenly and faded from 2 out in the Pertemps when last seen but he's the sort to take to chasing.

7/2
Won sole outing in Irish points and progressive winner over hurdles last season. Positive start to chasing when second in handicap at Exeter on return and this trip looks sure to suit. Definite player.

10/1
Progressive hurdler who showed something to work on when fifth in a handicap at Exeter on chasing debut back from 20 months off. More to come but this is a stronger race than he need contest.

Forecasts

Theatre Man (13/8), Brave Kingdom (15/8), Amrons Sage (7/2), Pulling Stumps (10/1), Hector Javilex (18/1)

Verdict

BRAVE KINGDOM looked a natural chaser when making a successful return at Plumpton last month and, with his jumping likely to prove an asset over these fences, he takes marginal preference over Amrons Sage, who should relish the longer trip. Theatre Man also warrants strong consideration.
