Frontier Boy (Sedgefield 2.10 NAP) was beaten by just a nose by Oniz Tiptoes last time over C&D and top weight shouldn't trouble him.

TIME FOR RUPERT (Cheltenham 235) proved last term how well he goes at this track at his best and looks ready to return to the big time.

PINGARO DE LA VIRE (Huntingdon 3:40) stayed on nicely last time out and the extra two furlongs today should be right up his street.

DE FORGOTTEN MAN (Warwick 3:25 NAP) should be seen in a much better light today than when falling late on at Plumpton last time out

ABSINTHE (Musselburgh 240) looked a very promising hurdler in the making when winning easily at Bangor and will be hard to beat.

JO BOY (Southwell 320 NAP) has been crying out for the step up to a mile and today gets the chance to show what he can do at this trip.

ASHBRITTLE (Wetherby 3.15) won in the style of an improving horse at Lingfield last time and looks to have solid claims at Wetherby.

BALLINTUBBER CROSS (Market Rasen 200) comes from a yard in superb form and has a huge chance after a rock solid effort last time out.

NOLAND (Ascot 3:40) has been given a serious chance running off a mark of just 150 and is expected to go very close indeed.

WAR PARTY (Catterick 210) is going all the way up to Catterick with Richard Johnson on board and looks more than capable.
