Into Battle (G)
Fairly useful 3-time winner on the Flat (stays 11f) who couldn't build on the promise of his Kempton second (beat a subsequent winner) when well-held third in an Aintree novice last time, however, he's the type to do better now handicappin…

Centurion's Sister (M)
FAV
Runner-up twice from 3 starts in bumpers. She's been consistent rather than progressive over hurdles, chasing home a next-time out winner on return at Cartmel, and may again be vulnerable to improvers now handicapping.

Evening Tess (F)
Lightly-raced 4-y-o who has progressed steadily for Dan Skelton, though she looked quirky off the bridle when opening her account in a Fontwell novice (19f) last time and returns to a handicap 10 lb higher than her opening mark.

American Empire (G)
[T1]
Fair bumper winner who posted his best effort over hurdles in finishing third behind a couple of subsequent winners at Hereford (2m) on return and while well below that form over the same C&D on handicap debut, he's at least worth a go in …

Prettylady (F)
[T]
Fair ex-French Flat maiden who has been much improved since switched to handicap company over hurdles this season, having plenty in hand when landing a double at Southwell latest, and she has strong hat-trick claims despite a further 8 lb …
