With testing ground prevailing at Windsor and Pontefract, Plumpton seems the sensible destination for Timeform's bets on Monday.
June French - 15:00 Plumpton
The Omen is the obvious one after his recent Worcester success, but he's not certain to be in the same form with a 10 lb rise to overcome, and June French therefore gets the vote for last year's winning yard after another encouraging effort from her reduced mark last time.
Seventh Sky - 16:00 Plumpton
It's hard to discount any in this trappy affair. Azure Fly will doubtless be popular for the in-form Charlie Longsdon on the back of a winning chasing debut, but a repeat of the wayward tendencies he showed there will likely be more costly in this deeper affair and he's opposed with Seventh Sky, who is building up a good record over fences.
To The Sky - 17:00 Plumpton
There's certainly room for improvement jumping-wise where To The Sky is concerned, but he displayed plenty of tenacity when prevailing on his chase debut at Worcester in August, despite making a hash of the final fence (rider lost an iron). He has since acquitted himself well back over hurdles and makes most appeal here. Chasing debutant Scales is feared most ahead of Keychain.
