Verdict

SPACEMAN did well to win over 5f last time and should relish 7f on handicap debut so he's taken to prove too good for mainly older rivals. Chalk Mountain returns to the all-weather where he's a C&D winner and should be a player, while Ash Wednesday is back down to a good mark and also goes well here.

10	Strong form when runner-up last year and progressed nicely when getting off the mark over 5f at Wolverhampton last month, beating a subsequent winner despite the trip looking on the short side for him. Now steps up to 7f for handicap debut and looks a real threat to more exposed rivals. 1st Pick 10 Spaceman (Ire) Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Oisin James Orr T: Richard & Peter Fahey	100	-	-	-	25%	3/1

3	Better on all-weather and won at Kempton in May. Good sixth of 14 at that track 28 days ago, meeting trouble when going well, but didn't fire on turf over 1m earlier this month. Likely to give his running returned to this surface and dropped back to ideal trip. 2nd Pick 3 Chalk Mountain Jockey: Alfie Redman Trainer: Zoe Hawkins J: Alfie Redman T: Zoe Hawkins	97	-	-	-	14%	13/2

9	Was coming into form earlier this year with a C&D second in March and may have been unsuited by step up to 1m last time. Successful twice over C&D before, including from 2 lb higher, so he is one to take seriously. 3rd Pick 9 Ash Wednesday Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Heather Main J: Billy Loughnane T: Heather Main	96	-	-	-	12%	15/2
