Jungli (IRE) Can carry top weight well; effective over two miles and suited by any surface; should go well today.
Wahiba Sands Easy winner at Doncaster last time but jumping will be tested against this opposition.
Exit To Wave (FR) Had breathing problem when beaten at Sandown. Back at best trip here.
Aghawadda Gold (IRE) Not seen out since falling at Wetherby on Boxing day reappearance. Former smart novice.
Desert Mountain (IRE) Rediscovered form when taking Emblem Chase at Kempton. Live danger on this track.
Eskleybrook Came back from absence for gutsy win at Kempton. Followed up at Sandown and another pillar to post effort is on the cards.
Lord York (IRE) Has not yet recaptured last season's form and could struggle.
Wave Rock Has it to do with Exit To Wave on Warwick running.
Executive Decision (IRE) Has it all to do after long absence.
Iorana (FR) Hacked up at Uttoxeter and has place claims at least off low weight.
Damus (GER) Novice likes sharp tracks but will be outclassed.
Ichi Beau (IRE) Needs to get his jumping together and likely to be an also-ran.
Hurricane Lamp Has not jumped well recently and cannot aford another lapse.
Fatehalkhair (IRE) Made too many mistakes last time to be considered here.
