That form has been boosted with the third winning since and this son of Getaway could take plenty of beating this afternoon. Coolanly failed to fire in the Challow three days ago but this Grade 2 winner has to be respected despite the quick turnaround. Others to consider are Darlac and Jarveys Plate.

Rolling Dylan was less then a length behind the winner in a similar event over C&D 18 days ago and he should be in the mix once again today, while the 2016 winner of this race Perfect Candidate and Sir Mangan are others to note.

Black Op filled third place on that occasion and a 3lb swing in the weights may not be enough to reverse the form. On The Blind Side makes his chase debut today but he was well held by Black Op in a novice hurdle at Aintree in April, while Lostintranslation edges out Crucial Role to be the pick of the remainder.

The main danger may be Ballyhill, who won this contest 12 months ago and looked on good terms with himself when striking over this trip off 10lb lower at Aintree last time. Others to consider are recent Newbury scorer Aso and Dustin Des Mottes, a recruit from France who has run over shorter on two previous starts for his shrewd handler.

6 ATR VERDICT: NAUTICAL NITWIT outstayed Old Guard to win in Grade 2 company at Wetherby last time and with the Phil Kirby stable firing on all cylinders at the moment, it would come as no surprise to see him defy topweight back in a handicap. Aux Ptits Soins is having his second start for Dan Skelton and could be fairly treated at present. He's entitled to come on for his reappearance fifth at Newbury behind Vive Le Roi, who made all to land the spoils on that occasion (with De Name Evades Me back in third) and could again be a danger to all at the head of affairs.

His last three wins have come over this trip, twice over C&D including an impressive triumph in this Grade 2 last year, and the forecast good to soft ground shouldn't be an inconvenience judged on his Aintree success at the expense of Vision Des Flos, Unowhatimeanharry and Agrapart in November. Thomas Campbell boasts a good record at this track and is interesting reverting to hurdles, while Clyne and Old Guard should run their usual honest races.

Book Of Invasions and Fuseau are closely matched on their Doncaster meeting last month and Ripplet looked smart when winning at Exeter. Wincanton scorer Fearless debuts for Rebecca Menzies and is another to note, but CASCOVA won over this trip at Huntingdon in November and that form has worked out well. He gets the nod.
