The Ben Pauling-trained BETTY’S TIARA got off the mark over timber in good style at Uttoxeter last month and is back in handicap company off a handy mark of 110. I think she has excellent claims of going in again with Serious Chat conceding fitness and weight to her.

Tips: BETTY’S TIARA

JUST CHASING MAY has advanced his form in a major way this summer, completing a hat-trick of wins at Worcester. He was mightily impressive when scoring by seven lengths on his chase debut back in August, and despite being 10lb higher, he can complete the four-timer for Ben Pauling and Ben Jones.

It’s difficult to see past STARDROP, who was by far the best of these on the Flat and made a promising hurdles debut when second at Market Rasen nine days ago. Granted any normal improvement, James Owen’s charge should be capable of going one place better. Hurdle debutant Jet Packer could emerge as the biggest threat.

Tips: STARDROP

A chance is taken on NOT SO SOBERS. He’s up against two last-time-out winners, but he’s gone well fresh before (second to The New Lion on bumper debut) and is surely better than he’s shown to date in this sphere. The six-year-old can make the most of the 7lb he gets from his two market rivals.

Tips: NOT SO SOBERS

A bumper winner last September, THE EXPENSIVE ONE has made the frame on both hurdle starts to date and came within three parts of a length when runner-up at Worcester last month. He’s sure to have come on plenty from that return to action and an opening handicap debut mark of 106 is workable.

Tips: THE EXPENSIVE ONE

BLACKIJO DAGROSTIS ran really well when second on his penultimate start and it’s interesting to see him moving up in distance and he’s undergone wind surgery since he was last seen. His mark of 90 looks exploitable in a race of this nature.
