Bumper winner could prove a class above his rivals

Imperial Aura
1.55 Carlisle
SP forecast 2-1
Hurdles debut for bumper winner, who was third on debut in that sphere at Kempton before running out easy winner next time at Ludlow. Form of either race doesn't look particularly strong, but gelding made a good impression and trainer Kim Bailey has been in flying form this month.
Conclusion Has potential to be better than these.

Stowaway Magic
2.30 Carlisle
SP forecast 11-8
The subject of plenty of rumours before Cheltenham last season, but never really lived up to them (eighth in Coral Cup) and now left Nicky Henderson for Dan Skelton. Runs in first-time tongue-tie and over fences for new yard, having twice been beaten at short odds when chasing for Henderson.
Conclusion Not for me at the likely price.

Whin Park
2.45 Ludlow
SP forecast 13-8
No wins in six hurdles starts, but took two points before making chase debut with third place at Huntingdon when last seen just over five months ago. Richard Johnson booked for first time and faces some thoroughly exposed rivals.
Conclusion Probably no great shakes, but won't need to be to win this.
