5/6
Point/hurdles winner who has advanced his form in this sphere with very good placed efforts in handicaps over C&D and at Kempton this winter. Fell 6th in 3m Exeter handicap chase last time but the one to beat if none the worse.

12/1
Point winner who signed off with success last spring in 2m4f novice at Perth. Yet to fire in a pair of 22f novice hurdles at Kelso and Newcastle this term though so goes chasing with a bit to prove.

13/2
Likeable front-running hurdler who scored at Ascot and Doncaster last term. Not disgraced under an aggressive ride when seventh of 13 in 3m Haydock handicap in May but off since so has his fitness to prove starting out in this sphere.

15/8
Useful winning 3m hurdler who comes here on the back of a solid fourth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Kempton 38 days ago. Switches to fences now and she's of firm interest.

Forecasts

First Confession (5/6), Della Casa Lunga (15/8), Thank You Ma'am (13/2), Scarlet Jet (12/1)

Verdict

Joe Tizzard's FIRST CONFESSION is fancied to put his chasing experience to telling effect and gain a first success in this sphere to supplement his point and hurdling victories. Della Casa Lunga has some useful hurdling form to her name and appeals as the pick of the trio of chasing newcomers.
