More to come and should prove hard to beat under a penalty.

Fairly useful bumper winner Genius can give him most to think about. Timeform 123: 1: SOUTHFIELD STONE (1) 2: GENIUS (6) 3: MYBOYSAM (7) Jockey Colours: Mauve and white diamonds, striped sleeves, white cap Timeform says: Overcame a steadilyrun race when landing 7runner bumper at Southwell in May.

(Forecast ) 2 BIRDS OF PREY (IRE) b g Sir Prancealot Cute Jockey Colours: Dark blue, pink epaulets and star on cap Timeform says: Useful on Flat, stays 1½m, very good effort when fourth in competitive handicap last time. Should take all the beating if he takes to this discipline at the first attempt. (Forecast 2.62) 3 9 COLDITZ CASTLE (IRE) 231 ch g Getaway Stowaway Sue Jockey Colours: White and black check, yellow sleeves, black stars, yellow cap Timeform says: Bred for the job and showed a bit in a bumper at Warwick in the spring, not enough to think he'll be getting competitive switched to hurdling, however. (Forecast 26.00) ENVOLE TOI (FR) 18 b g Enrique Orphee De Vonnas Jockey Colours: Orange and black (quartered), diabolo on sleeves, black and orange quartered cap Timeform says: Fairly useful jumper in France, leaving Guillaume Macaire after winning a claiming chase at Auteuil in May. Disappointing for new stable so far. (Forecast 23.00) ESPALION (FR) 17 b g Khalkevi Somosierra Jockey Colours: Royal blue, red hoop, halved sleeves, red and white hooped cap Timeform says: Modest form in bumpers for Tim Vaughan before a pleasing start to hurdling for new yard when fourth in novice at Ludlow. Will need to build on that if he's to get off the mark.

(Forecast 41.00) 9 16 PAXMAN (IRE) 22 b g Jeremy Dreamy Lagoon Jockey Colours: Royal blue, pink hoop Timeform says: Point winner who showed up well for a long way in strong novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut, eventually dropping away having tanked to the front early in the straight. Not dismissed. (Forecast 11.00) 10 PRESS GANG b g Mount Nelson Rutba Jockey Colours: Purple, white stars, white and red striped sleeves Timeform says: Likeable type on the Flat who has something to recommend him on pedigree and will presumably have been schooling for quite some time ahead of this first go over obstacles, so definitely considered. (Forecast 13.00) /2 VARDS 22 b g Tamure Bank On Lady Jockey Colours: Dark green, light green sleeves, dark green cap, light green spots Timeform says: A dual point winner in 2016, ran a blinder back from an absence when second to Zanza despite pulling hard in a novice hurdle at Chepstow. Definite claims if he can build on that. (Forecast 10.00) COOPERESS 388 (42F) b m Sixties Icon Vilnius Jockey Colours: Red and white check, white sleeves Timeform says: Modest on Flat (stays 1m) and has only run to a similar level over hurdles so far. (Forecast 81.00) ORIENTAL FLAME 238 b m Norse Dancer Eastern Paramour Jockey Colours: Black, pink braces, check cap Timeform says: Fairly useful sort in bumpers but the chances are this first outing back will be used as an educational first try at hurdling. (Forecast 34.00) A P Heskin Kieron Edgar (3) Harry Fry Nick Scholfield Jack Barber Miss Jodie Hughes (7) D Burchell h Harry Bannister C J Mann TIMEFORM VIEW: Not only was BIRDS OF PREY useful on the Flat, but he hardly ran a bad race, displaying a sound attitude all along, so it would be a surprise were he not to take to hurdling having joined a top yard. He's clearly the one to beat but the likes of Paxman and Vards both arrive on the back of encouraging Rules debuts. Timeform 123: 1: BIRDS OF PREY (2) 2: VARDS (11) 3: PAXMAN (9) Jockey Colours: Pink, light blue sash, quartered cap Timeform says: Looks more of a longterm prospect for all he showed ability in bumpers, down the field in a couple of novice hurdles in the spring. (Forecast ) 7 P74 LE LIGERIEN (FR) 19 b g Turgeon Etoile de loir M G Nolan P J Hobbs Jockey Colours: Light green and mauve diamonds, light green sleeves and cap Timeform says: Fair form on first outing in bumpers, but went backwards from that and has the pedigree to come good a little further down the line.

(Forecast 5.50) GWALIA (IRE) 30 b g Beat Hollow Payphone Jockey Colours: Light blue, pink star, white cap Timeform says: Plenty to like about his 3 runnerup efforts in bumpers and makes a quick switch to handicaps following a brace of inframe efforts at Hereford. Likely to improve again.

Not disgraced on handicap debut in this sphere at Worcester in September but has a heavy defeat to cast aside at Fakenham. Cheekpieces left off. (Forecast 81.00) MARAAKIB (IRE) 14 b g Dark Angel Mrs Cee Jockey Colours: Yellow, maroon seams, yellow cap Timeform says: Just modest form on the Flat in 2018 and current mark in this sphere looks to be too high.

4 TIMEFORM VIEW: An interesting race for the grade, with PASSING DREAM the selection on the back of an excellent second at Uttoxeter a month ago. Mead Vale and Gwalia are potential improvers, while Tour de Paris warrants consideration in receipt of a healthy age allowance.

Kempton third last time was respectable and whilst not discounted, revised mark demands more. (Forecast 7.50) 2 34P130 CHRISTMAS IN APRIL (FR) 26 BF b g Crillon Similaresisoldofa H Cobden C L Tizzard 121 Jockey Colours: Yellow, red stripe and sleeves Timeform says: Finished strongly to score over hurdles at Warwick (21f) in May and fine start for new yard when third at Cheltenham (21f) in October. Somewhat disappointing last time but not dismissed now chasing. (Forecast 10.00) KENTFORD HEIRESS 19 D b m Midnight Legend Kentford Duchess Kevin Jones (3) J W Mullins Jockey Colours: Brown, white hoop, hooped sleeves, orange cap Timeform says: Dual winner at the start of the summer and largely creditable efforts in defeat subsequently (possibly not 100% latest).

Visored/tongue tied now. (Forecast 17.00)

5 MARBLE MOON (IRE) 36 b g Millenary Royal Marble Jockey Colours: Yellow, emerald green sash, red sleeves and cap Timeform says: Rapid improver over hurdles this summer, completing 4timer at Hereford (25.5f) in October.

Struggled in trio of outings since though, including chasing bow in October. (Forecast 17.00) MAHLERMADE (IRE) 117 BF ch g Mahler Double Concerto Conor Ring (3) tp Nick Scholfield Jack Barber t Wayne Hutchinson TIMEFORM VIEW: This looks wide open, but HELUVAGOOD left the impression he was saving a little when getting off the mark over fences at Exeter last month and a 4 lb higher mark should not prevent a bold followup bid. Roll The Dough's experience ought to count for plenty and he is feared, ahead of Mahlermade and Christmas In April. Timeform 123: 1: HELUVAGOOD (13) 2: ROLL THE DOUGH (1) 3: MAHLERMADE (10) Jockey Colours: Light blue and pink check, light blue sleeves, pink stars and cap Timeform says: Bit more like it when hitting the frame in handicap hurdles during early summer.

Needs considering all the same. (Forecast 12.00) U FULL (FR) 28 b g Mr Sidney Funny Feerie Jockey Colours: Emerald green and dark blue stripes, yellow sleeves, orange stars, maroon and light blue hooped cap Timeform says: Hasn't taken to chasing the last twice but, prior to that, he'd looked as good as ever over hurdles prior to that and isn't handicapped out of things, so should be back on his game.
