There are plenty of exciting prospects on offer and none more so than THE PLAYER QUEEN, who aims to keep her unbeaten record intact on her first start over obstacles. The daughter of Yeats turned over a well-fancied favourite on her latest outing in April and, based on her point-to-point exploits, this transition to hurdling poses few questions. She gets the nod, while Maura Jeanne rates the most immediate danger after showing plenty of promise when second at Perth in June. Fiadh broke her duck at the fourth time of asking and she completes the shortlist.
THE PLAYER QUEEN looks a promising recruit to hurdling having been acquired for £140,000 following a Cheltenham bumper success for Mel Rowley and should take plenty of beating starting out at a realistic level in this sphere. Miss Milano makes some appeal on paper for a good yard, so is a debutante to note, while recent Hexham bumper scorer Fiadh also merits consideration.

SAUCE OF LIFE went unbeaten in two bumper outings, backing up his debut success at Musselburgh under a penalty at Market Rasen in April, and the six-year-old can reward his handler's patience by scoring on his hurdling bow. Gentleman De Mai filled the runner-up spot in his sole point-to-point behind an exciting individual who is now in the care of Henry de Bromhead and he is entitled to be in the mix. Ugo Du Misselot may benefit from wind surgery and completes the shortlist.
SAUCE OF LIFE makes most appeal. He was successful on both his bumper starts last season and ought to go well now making the switch to hurdling for a yard among the winners. Gentleman de Mai is an interesting Rules newcomer with his Irish point second looking good form, while Ugo du Misselot may prove best of the rest.

ANIMORE is progressing nicely over fences and got off the mark in fine style at Hexham earlier in the month. Raised 5lb for that success, there could be more to come from the selection as he looks to continue the excellent recent form of the Iain Jardine stable. Bollingerandkrug makes appeal on his first start over the larger obstacles having won two of his last three over hurdles, while Destiny Is All shaped very well at Uttoxeter back in July. Dorking Boy is not to be underestimated either.
A case can be made for most of these, but BOLLINGERANDKRUG was a dual hurdle winner last term and is taken to go in at the first time of asking over fences for his in-form yard with this return to a longer trip a plus too. Animore is a likeable sort and she rates a big threat on the back of her recent Hexham success, while the reappearing Dorking Boy is also weighted to have a say.

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to I'M ON SNAP, who hit the line with plenty of conviction when fourth at Hereford last time out. She has been dropped 1lb for that effort and may be able to capitalise off that workable mark. Permission Granted took a step in the right direction when third at Perth last month and the nine-year-old is worth considering, while Manetti completes the shortlist on seasonal reappearance.
I'M ON SNAP leaves the impression this step back up to 3m might suit and could be the way to go. Rose Dobbin pair Permission Granted and Espoir Moriviere, who took this race off the same mark on last year's reappearance, head the dangers.

Forecast: 6/4 Grey Atlantic Way, 11/4 Eagle Ridge, 3/1 Event Of Sivola, 5/1 Slainte Mhor (Note: non-runner may affect prices)
GREY ATLANTIC WAY was so impressive at Sedgefield recently, clearly appreciating the reapplication of cheekpieces and return to fences. An 8lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold showing in this. Eagle Ridge must have a good chance on last season's form, while Slainte Mhor is a C&D winner and is race-fit following his Perth exertions last month. Event Of Sivola has an absence to overcome but there were signs of promise towards the back end of last term.
GREY ATLANTIC WAY shed his maiden tag in most taking fashion at Sedgefield earlier in the month and is very hard to oppose here despite being hit with an 8 lb rise by the official assessor. Both Event of Sivola and Eagle Ridge ended last season in good heart and look the duo to chase home Danny Brooke's 8-y-o in that order on their return to action.

The suggestion is FLOOD DEFENCE, who is taken to get off the mark over hurdles at the 10th attempt. Fit from a few spins on the Flat over the past month, the daughter of Milan was narrowly denied on her last start over the smaller obstacles at Perth, for which a 4lb rise may not be enough to stop her. She can score at the main expense of Get Phar, who was a consistent sort across the water for Eoin Griffin. Killane and Jess's Corner are others that make plenty of appeal.
FLOOD DEFENCE has yet to taste success from 9 starts over hurdles, but she appeared to benefit from stepping up to a similar trip to this when going close at Perth last month. The 7-y-o has since acquitted herself well on the Flat and she looks the most solid option here. Bestiarius resumes on a potentially handy mark and is feared most ahead of Veshenskaya.

THE BRAVEST makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut in this sphere as he receives the juvenile allowance and the step up in trip promises to bring about improvement. Steinkraus was beaten a neck on his most recent start at Carlisle earlier in the month and the six-year-old has to enter the reckoning, while Petite Rhapsody was running his best race for a while when falling two out at Perth and a repeat of that gives him every chance.
STEINKRAUS was nicely clear of the rest when runner-up at Carlisle 11 days ago and the way he finished off his race on that occasion, this step up in trip is sure to suit. He is very much the one to beat, for all The Bravest is open to improvement as a 3-y-o in receipt of a healthy age allowance. Melanamix is another to consider.

Rose Of Siena is related to the Grade 1-winning hurdler Iktitaf and she demands the utmost respect on racecourse debut with the in-form Brian Hughes in the saddle. However, experience may be able to pay dividends for FATHERS ADVICE, who did the best of his work late on when second over C&D in May. He gets the nod to build on that performance and strike at the second time of asking, while Jack Of All Shapes completes the shortlist.
Nicky Richards is adept at readying one in this sphere, so ROSE OF SIENA could easily be up to the task on debut in receipt of weight all round. Fathers Adivce seems sure to flourish as a stayer over hurdles but is still capable of getting involved in a race like this.
