Pistol Shoot has completed a hat-trick between the flags and could be a smart recruit though he only had one to beat last time. His stable companion Monition is 0-15 over hurdles but has rarely been beaten far and has a chaser's pedigree. Licklighter hails from a yard in top form and has performed well in two starts over fences but STYLISH MOMENT could prove up to this. Runner-up in a Uttoxeter handicap for Alan King in March, he made a fair start for new connections over hurdles here three weeks ago and can get off the mark. Roney made her debut over fences here in April and ran well enough to suggest she'll be in the mix with her allowance.
