Formwatch
Caribbean Twist (IRE) Hard to fancy on return from absence.
Carousing Decent Flat performer but not as good over hurdles; may find one or two too good.
Dambusters Has been off the track for a considerable time and remains best watched.
Danteco Little worthwhile form to his name.
Droit de Seigneur (USA) Impossible to make a case for.
Forest Rider (IRE) Has the form and ability to win this and must be feared if fully fit after absence.
Joss Naylor (IRE) Makes hurdles debut after good win on NH Flat; in-form and has fitness advantage; a leading contender.
Junior Collonges (FR) Seems to be going the wrong way and is best watched.
Lochiedubs Bit to find with Joss Naylor on NH Flat form but still one for the short-list on hurdles bow.
Luck In Run'in Leave well alone.
Major Bit Good second last time but more required here.
Moss Deeping Best watched on return to action.
Mploy (IRE) Has to be feared from yard who does well with this type and although unlikely to win this may be an outside each-way hope.
Roman Rampage Has been off the track since decent first run over hurdles; has the ability but question marks over fitness.
Stromness (USA) Has been tried in top-quality races and is the clear form pick in this contest; stable not completely firing but the one they all have to beat.
Triona's Hope (IRE) No hoper.
Ellemford Best watched.
