Verdict

Useful juvenile TUTTI QUANTI has plenty of scope for progression and is fancied to make a winning handicap debut on his return. Dan Skelton may unlock further improvement from talented mare Listentoyourheart, while Alexei looks interesting if he can settle back over 2m. Of the rest, Balhambar's form from last season looks solid and he should be spot on for this following a spin on the Flat, while it's still early days for Celtic Dino who ran well on handicap debut at Aintree in April.

4	Plenty of scope physically and had some strong form over hurdles last season, ran as well as could be expected when sixth in the Supreme and signed off with a very easy victory in a Ffos Las novice in April. Goes well fresh and strong chance he can make a winning handicap debut. 1st Pick 4 Tutti Quanti (Fr) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Harry Cobden T: Paul Nicholls	100	-	-	-	34%

7	Useful novice completed a hat-trick in mares' company last season. Shaped well off a break when fourth in a Grade 2 novice at Kelso in the spring but unable to build on that in a competitive 2½m Aintree handicap. Drops back to 2m and may well improve as a 6-y-o for a top yard. 2nd Pick 7 Listentoyourheart (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	99	-	-	-	13%

6	Fairly useful on Flat and impressive winner of back-to-back novices at Taunton last winter before disappointing on soft ground. Much better than the result when too keen on handicap debut at Newbury (18.8f) in March. Drop back to 2m should suit and may do better if settling on his return. 3rd Pick 6 Alexei (Ger) Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard J: Brendan Powell T: Joe Tizzard	99	-	-	-	10%
