On the back of a good C&D effort, GWENNIE MAY JEM could well open his account. Fellow maidens Brother Boris (second choice) and Pottersjetamay are interesting back down in trip, while Superstylin looks the pick of the runners who already have winning form.[Steve Boow]

2m4f winner for Dan Skelton; has weak claims on his form for current yard, so this combination of a drop back in trip and first-time blinkers needs to have major effect.
Maiden hurdler who has inconsistent handicap form at about 2m4f; however, gives the impression he may well improve for this drop back to 2m on chase debut; hood added.
Still a maiden and was well beaten, having pulled hard, in 2m2f selling hurdle most recently (stable debut); this chase debutant is not a solid option; tongue-tie added.
Has some encouraging form since switched to chasing and shapes as if this drop back to 2m is worth exploring; interesting off a reduced mark with Harry Cobden up for first time.
Looks rather exposed, being 0-8 since scoring on chase debut; however, latest effort (2m) has received a boost and he's on a workable mark; one for the shortlist.
Skelton runner who has form figures of 34242 in handicaps, latterly over fences; ran well over C&D most recently and should have a race of this nature in him; warrants respect.
Ran encouragingly on chase debut but has failed to build on that effort and jumping issues arose the last twice (made bad mistake and unseated rider mid-race latest).
Has tended to jump left this season; faced stiff task from well out of the weights last time; this is more realistic and the return to a left-handed course looks a plus.
