Top-weight Lac De Constance has been disappointing since winning at Kempton Park last November, but does take a drop in class here after running in a hot Class 1 race at Sandown Park last time out. At the bottom of the handicap is hat-trick seeking Grandeur D'Ame, who has to overcome an 8lb rise in the weights for his most recent win at Stratford earlier this month, but may still be improving.

It all kicks off at 1.50pm with the Join Racing TV Now Maiden Hurdle over two miles and five furlongs in which Carrarea and Gaelic Park have shown the best form so far and this is followed by the Watch On Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase which could provide Walk In The Wild an opportunity to get back on track after a poor run last time when he was pulled up.

Two miles is the trip for the Happy 80h Birthday Robert Elsmore Handicap Hurdle and this looks a good opportunity for Sandown Park winner Mayhem Mya to follow up before Zamparelli, pulled up behind the progressive Viroflay over three miles in a point-to-point last time, could bounce back in the Air Wedding Open Hunters' Chase over this shorter trip.
