17:05 (Fontwell) My Gift To You

My Gift To You has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable and returning to the smaller obstacles should not inconvenience him, given he won easily in this sphere at Southwell last month.

A taking winner over course and distance in May, Happy Company can give him the most to think about, ahead of Bari Breeze, who performed with plenty of credit when second at Market Rasen.

17:40 (Fontwell) Cast A Spell

A taking winner on her first start for the Gary Moore stable in a bumper at Southwell in June, Cast A Spell may just set the standard on form as she makes her hurdling debut.

The five-year-old is open to improvement over further and she gets the vote ahead of hurdling debutant Gearing's Point and Love Mystery, who has plenty of experience.

18:50 (Fontwell) City Of Ruins

City Of Ruins has shaped on his two starts to date as though a win could be just around the corner and he's fancied to shed his maiden tag.

Donald McCain's charge was beaten just under five lengths last time when a clear second over the extended 2m at Stratford, and he can go one better in this contest if taking another step forward.
Unification is having his first run over timber after being with Jim Bolger in Ireland and commands respect, while Book Of Tales can also have a say.

19:50 (Fontwell) Bashful Boy

Bashful Boy won as he liked over the extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time and he looks primed to follow up.

David Pipe's charge has been raised 8lb for that 10-length success and that doesn't appear likely to halt his progression.
Watergrange Jack also won last time out over 2m4f at Worcester, but a 4lb rise for that neck success may leave him vulnerable to some better treated rivals, while Uggy Uggy Uggy should also be on the scene.

Fontwell selections in full:

FONTWELL: 5.05 My Gift To You, 5.40 Cast A Spell, 6.15 Frankie Faulkner, 6.50 City Of Ruins, 7.20 Hardy Boy, 7.50 Bashful Boy.
