L'Epicurien (FR) Looked to be coming into good form last time out; stepping up in distance today and a bold bid can be expected.
Ifni du Luc (FR) Difficult to fancy after poor effort last time; however open to improvement and may appreciate more testing conditions.
Regal Holly In fine form this winter and entered in races at Aintree; could prove difficult to beat if on song.
Romero Has disappointed on heavy ground on his last two runs; more interesting on today's surface.
Mithak (USA) Was badly hampered on reappearance and remains best watched for time being.
Spring Margot (FR) Stepping up in class after impressive win at Exeter; still on a nice mark and open to improvement.
It's Wallace Consistent perfomer who revels in testing conditions; another good run expected today but may find one or two too good.
Tarxien Has run well in some good company; has not won for some time and hard to see any change today.
Galapino Has struggled over hurdles this winter; may be better on the Flat.
Call My Guest (IRE) Fit from the all-weather and potentially on a winning mark; may be best watched for now.
Sharp Belline (IRE) Appreciates today's trip and remains relatively unexposed; one to keep on the right side of.
Mayb-Mayb Difficult to see him winning nowadays in this company.
Top Note (IRE) Ran poorly last two outings and impossible to fancy today.
Smint (IRE) Not out of this on best form; disappointed in heavy ground last time, may do better as the ground dries out.
Stormy Skye (IRE) Generally consistent horse who was pulled up on last run; more suitable ground today and one for the shortlist.
Count Tony Capable performer who needs firmer ground; may struggle today.
