DALIANCE, a middle-distance winner on the Polytrack, made a decent start over hurdles behind Sea Lord at Southwell and similar effort here would probably suffice. Tom Scudamore appears to have chosen Milor De La Borie ahead of Keep The Cash but both need to improve and more interesting is Armedandbeautiful, a nicely bred daughter of Oscar who caught the eye when sixth at Towcester.

MADEIRA GIRL is the clear pick among those with an official rating. She was pulled up in a handicap at Worcester last time but this is a much better race. Golden Acorn has had plenty of chances but can make the frame again while it will be interesting to see if there is any money for newcomer Dansili Dutch, who won three times of the Flat. Lillybrook looks the pick of the older mares and drops into a seller for the first time today.

Paul Nicholls saddles Pacha Du Polder, a winner at Newbury in March, and Worcester second Woolcombe Folly and both make more appeal than Mahogany Blaze. Buck Mulligan also looks poised for a big run while Gentleman Anshan was third in a decent race at Market Rasen after winning at Stratford. PEPITE ROSE will enjoy the recent rain and was only beaten a short-head off a pound higher mark at Haydock when last racing on similar ground. She can reverse recent form with Gentleman Anshan and take this.

This marathon distance will take some getting today but Wilde Ruby has ground and trip in her favour and makes plenty of appeal after a third at Exeter. Nigel Twiston-Davies runs the unexposed He's The Daddy but son Sam rides SAIL AND RETURN and Phil Middleton's gelding gets the nod with Uttoxeter conqueror Green Wizard having won easily since. Ukrainian Star and Ahead Ahead may be the best of those nearer the foot of the weights but veteran chaser Knighton Combe has it all to do under his welter burden.

Di Kaprio won at Ffos Las in March while Nagpur was a useful hurdler and made a successful start over the larger obstacles at Southwell. Harry Hunt has only found one too good at Newcastle and Uttoxeter but they may all be playing for places if PROSPECT WELLS can carry his hurdles form into chases. He won the National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell in February and was second to Zarkandar in the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton earlier. Paul Nicholls' other runner, Roger Beantown, may need this but Buachaill Alainn is worth a second look though will get easier opportunities over the summer.

Prideofthecastle has joined David Pipe since winning at Limerick in December but faces no easy task here giving weight to several possible improvers. The Road Ahead was second here on her debut hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Wincanton the following month. Midnight Chorister was third at Southwell in March but ALGERNON PAZHAM's run behind Lemony Bay at Huntingdon looks better form and he can open his account here.
