No Drama This End
The Paul Nicholls stranglehold on this race ended 12 months ago but in NO DRAMA THIS END, he has the perfect candidate with a brace of ready Grade 2 wins this autumn marking him down as a top prospect. Kalkbrenner is expected to reverse C&D form with Klimt Madrik on these 6 lb better terms but a bigger threat to the selection may emerge in the form of Starzand.

Point winner who scored impressively in a Warwick bumper a year ago. Acquitted himself well in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham next time, before creating a superb impression in landing brace of Grade 2s, namely Hyde Novices' Hurdle and Winter Novices' Hurdle.

£120,000 buy after winning sole Irish point last December. Created a good impression when winning 12-runner maiden at Ffos Las (20f) on hurdling debut in October and better form in defeat when head second to re-opposing Klimt Madrik over C&D a month ago. 6 lb better off with that rival.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Ffos Las2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Ayr2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Bumper4/10- 8StarzandJ: Sean HoulihanT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White1-1Age 58/18/19/1

Wide-margin point winner who looked smart when following up in a Ffos Las bumper in March. Overcame inexperience to go in again on October's hurdles debut back at that venue and that form probably doesn't do him justice.

In the frame in a couple of points and confirmed the promise of his debut fourth to Kalkbrenner in maiden hurdle at Ffos Las when reversing the form with that rival over C&D a month ago, edging ahead close home. Sure to progress but 6 lb worse off with that rival this time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Ffos Las2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/12- 6MontemaresJ: Stan SheppardT: Tom Lacey11Age 420/120/118/1

Made a winning start to his career in Hereford maiden last month and supplemented that under a penalty in a Market Rasen novice upped to this trip 3 weeks ago.

£70,000 Irish point recruit who built on debut bumper promise when easily landing the odds in similar company at Newcastle in March. Shaped well when second on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and didn't need to even match that form to land the odds over (21.3f) at Ludlow since.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 5f 55yGoodHurdle1/3Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGoodHurdle2/10Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper1/6Plumpton2m 1f 164yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper3/8- 2Etna BiancoJ: Brendan PowellT: Joe Tizzard3-31Age 533/133/140/1

£140,000 purchase after winning Irish point last October and he produced a promising first effort in this sphere when third of 7 in 2m4f Cheltenham novice in October. Showed the benefit of that experience when justifying support at Ascot (21.7f) and he can leave bare form behind.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 5f 146yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/5Cheltenham2m 3f 200yGood to SoftHurdle3/7Kempton Park2mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Bumper3/8- Non-Runners

Successful first 2 starts in bumpers prior to finishing runner-up in Grade 2 in April. Enhanced already healthy strike rate when winning maiden/novice hurdles subsequently and he again ran well when fourth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month. No reason why he'll reverse form with No Drama This End.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 5fSoftHurdle4/9Wetherby2m 3f 154yGoodHurdle1/4Hexham2m 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/13Aintree2m 209yGoodBumper2/15Warwick2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper1/14
