Maiden chaser Jupon Vert won a Taunton seller over hurdle last time. Kadito has been raised 11 pounds for his Hereford win. Four-time Flat winner - at up to 14 furlongs - Lady Jones has scope for more hurdling improvement than most here. She drops back in trip from her last run although she lacks a recent run. Bold Cardowan stays well (has won over three miles) but has chances from his current mark. Panmure is relatively unexposed and hails from the in-form Nicky Henderson stable. Schuh Venture has bits of form and is now dropping in the weights. Master Russell is not without a place claim but has yet to win a race. Golden Gravel is, effectively, 10lbs higher than for his win in a Leicester seller. Topping Lass showed promise in Ireland but has yet to confirm that in sellers in Britain and is 10lbs out of the handicap. The selection in a tricky opener goes to Kadito.
