WILLIE SHAKE HANDS has been knocking on the door over hurdles in recent months and, appealing as the type who could do even better over larger obstacles, he gets the narrow vote with his yard continuing in good form. Fellow chase debutant From The Clouds is also worth a look on return for Lucinda Russell. Scots Poet and Beny Nahar Road are others to consider
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

TIMEFORM VIEW A 3-time winner over 20f here last season. Shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off over 2m here last month and has dipped below his last winning mark, so capable of going well if seeing out this longer trip.
TIMEFORM VIEW Ended a lengthy losing run from a mark 20lb lower than for his previous win over fences when beating 8 rivals at Ayr 64 days ago. Only 2lb higher here so should remain competitive back up in trip.

Plenty to consider but NOT SURE was unlucky to bump into one at Carlisle last time so tops the shortlist off the same mark. The in-form Hostile Hotelier is an obvious threat, while Court At Slip is potentially well treated if building on his latest run.

PLAY SMARTER
Not a strong maiden hurdle by any means so it affords PIKE ROAD an excellent chance to get back on track and open his account. Saint Malinas is the obvious danger on his opening second at this venue in December
