THE TIMEFORM VIEW This looks an excellent opportunity for BLUE CARPET, who shaped promisingly without being given a hard time on return/hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m) 21 days ago and there’s surely a good deal more to come from Dan Skelton’s charge on that evidence. Fellow bumper winner Ballylicky Bay may emerge as the chief danger in receipt of weight all round.

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual bumper/hurdles winner in France. Yet to score over fences, but looks more than capable of doing so judged on several pieces of form, not least his creditable third in a 9-runner handicap chase at Sandown (2 1/2m, good to firm) when last seen in April.

TIMEFORM VIEW Hurdles winner for James Ewart and scored at second attempt over fences for that yard in February Improved again when following up on recent return/debut for Dan Skelton at Kelso (17f, good to soft) and, with the promise of more to come from this 8-y-o, he’s the one to beat under a penalty here.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Though THISTLE ASK would arguably be most at home on a sharp, right-handed track, he did the job well enough going this way round at Kelso six days ago to suggest that he will maintain his 100% record for the Dan Skelton yard under a penalty here (officially 2lb ‘well-in’). Indeed, this 8-y-o is unexposed over fences and should have more to offer. Homme Public has a pretty good record when fresh and gets the nod ahead of the in-form Magistrato for forecast purposes.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW LILLISTAR’s latest hurdles run was her best one (splitting a pair of subsequent winners) and having broken her maiden on the Flat last time, she could have more to offer tackling a longer trip back over jumps. Bannister may have won had he been delivered later at Market Rasen and remains of interest from his last winning mark, while Thank You Blue looks well-treated if he can build on recent performances. Princess Milania also merits respect under a penalty for new connections. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.LILLISTAR
