Previous winners SQUARE D'ALBONI and Chemistry look set to dominate. The former had his Stratford form franked by the runner-up earlier in the week and edges the vote.

2	Useful 3-time winner on Flat for Ralph Beckett who made the most of a good opportunity when off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles (following a breathing operation) in 8-runner maiden at Stratford (19f) 16 days ago. Runner-up has franked that form since and has obvious claims. 1st Pick 2 Square D'alboni (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	93	-	-	-	56%	4/5

1	Still capable of useful form on Flat and put up a professional display to make a winning hurdle/stable debut at Sedgefield (16.8f) in April. Failed to land the odds under a penalty at Kelso prior to finishing well held back on the Flat at Newcastle. Still open to improvement in this sphere. 2nd Pick 1 Chemistry (Ire) Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Sean Quinlan T: Jennie Candlish	100	-	-	-	46%	6/5

6	Fair up to 1¼m at his best on the Flat but out of sorts of late and didn't achieve much tried over hurdles over C&D last month. Probably one for handicaps later on. 3rd Pick 6 Imperial Trooper (Ire) Jockey: I. J. Power Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: I. J. Power T: Jennie Candlish	75	-	-	-	7%	15/1
