2.10 - Nudge and Nurdle has run well now back down in the weights and can continue the good work here. Receives weight all round including Tom Molloy's 5lb allowance and he should be up to taking advantage from a mark still well short of last seasons.

3.20 - Presentandcorrect should again have each way chances but he deserves to get his head in front at last. There is probably more to come from him judged on his Cheltenham outing last time and this doesn't look quite as competitive. Tom rides.

3.50 - What An Oscar is given his bumper debut having had a few entries of late, and can be given a chance here with the bumper team seemingly in good form. Tom rides.

1.15 - Its Crucial has tumbled down the weights and he would have a great chance here on his old form of a couple of seasons back. Showed some signs of coming back when 5th of 10 last time and can be given an each way chance.

1.45 - Amber Brook on the other hand has gone up in the weights since winning this last season and looks to have a big task. Still very capable, it just looks like the handicapper has given her a little too much at present.

3.25 - Beat The Boys showed excellent form with a virtually all the way win at Chepstow last time, having come down the weights somewhat. Back up 13lbs today sees him with a very difficult task, but he is clearly in good form and can run into the places.

4.00 - Plettenburg is another bumper debutant with Irish point from in the family. Has been encouraging at home and could add to our first bumper win of the season this week.
