Rex Dingle J Jeremy Scott, Dulverton T B John Paul Condron Brendon Powerwashers S TIMEFORM VIEW Irish point winner who landed an Exeter maiden (21.6f) on second hurdles start. Third in a useful novice event at Ascot and needed a stiffer test when a well backed third on handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) last time. Leading claims back up in trip. TFRHHHHH BHA123

Lucy Wadham, Newmarket T B Mr Tom Forde Weatherbys Hamilton LLP S TIMEFORM VIEW Won twice at Fakenham this season and should’ve also won at Ludlow in January, outbattled after losing momentum with a scruffy jump at the last. Shaped as if amiss at Doncaster but got back on track when third in a race working out well at Sandown (19.8f) last time. Well respected. TFRHHHHI BHA119

Paul Webber, Banbury T B Michael Murray Fairfax Saddles, Paul Webber Racing S TIMEFORM VIEW Bought for £40,000 after finishing runner-up on his second start in Irish points. Shaped as though in need of the run on November’s hurdles debut but left that well behind on the back of a breathing op when second at Ascot (19.3f) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Has to enter calculations. TFRHHHII BHA-

B The Glanvilles Stud TIMEFORM VIEW Out of a winning hurdler/chaser so no big surprise that she left her 3 bumper runs behind when third on her Taunton hurdle debut. Stepped up on that when second at Plumpton (20.5f), albeit in a thin race. TFRHHHII BHA99

PLAY SMARTER With this step back up in trip sure to suit, BALLYBLACK is taken to resume winning ways. Terresita ran well in race working out well at Sandown last time, so has to be considered a big threat.
