Preference is for STRINGTOYOURBOW, who figures off a handy mark and arrives on the back of a creditable third at Worcester last month. Big Bee Hive and Hamartia can also make their presence felt in an open-looking contest.

Won 2 of his 7 starts last term and should be straighter for last month's return at Uttoxeter. Warrants respect.

Never involved, back from 4 months off, at Sedgefield 26 days ago but hit the ground running over fences earlier this year, winning 3 times at up to 25f, and remains feasibly treated.

Offered more than previously over fences when third of 8 in handicap chase (17/2) at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. May come on from that but others look better treated.

Three-time 3m chase winner (including twice over C&D) in the mud last season but has returned with a couple of laboured efforts. Bit to prove at present.
