Eclat De Star fared well on his first outing on these shores when second at Sedgefield last time, but preference is for IMPERIAL ACOLYTE. Nigel TwistonDavies' gelding won easily on his hurdling bow over C&D last time and the form has been franked since. Top Tip: IMPERIAL ACOLYTE (2) Watch out for: ECLAT DE STAR (8)

Uppertown Prince is an obvious danger on his fourth in Grade 1 company over timber at Aintree, but his chasing debut was less encouraging, while Red Rising is progressing steadily over fences.

Any support for Flegmatik on his UK debut for Dan Skelton would probably be worth heeding, but LAST ENCHANTMENT showed enough on her hurdling bow at Newcastle to be given a chance here. Rated in the 70s on the Flat, she was a promising fourth on her debut for Neil Mulholland at Newbury and could build on that. Top Tip: LAST ENCHANTMENT (6) Watch out for: FLEGMATIK (3)

Forest Bihan fell at the water jump in that contest but is on an interesting mark having shaped very well on his return at Cheltenham behind Sceau Royal in November, while Bouvreuil won on his first start for Ben Haslam and completes the shortlist.

Longhousesignora is open to progress now up in distance after a couple of decent efforts over fences this season, while Sheneededtherun may benefit from his second run after a wind operation having finished runnerup at Hereford earlier this month.

ATR VERDICT: BORDER VICTOR took his first success over hurdles at Kelso earlier this month and the return to 3m, along with a 5lb rise in the ratings, should pose no issue for Barry Murtagh's gelding. Bertie Blake has been knocking on the door recently having benefited from the application of cheekpieces, while Rowdy Robin appeals on his handicap debut with this being his second outing after wind surgery.
