Another Moose (IRE) Real chaser in the making who impressed a few with his win at Huntingdon last time and every chance of defying his penalty here.
Zaffre Noir (IRE) Made all for an easy win at Newbury in December but does not appear totally reliable and fell on only subsequent start in a hot race at Doncaster. If he runs to his best he could win, but don't bet on it.
Arctic Summer (IRE) Beaten out of sight on debut at Kempton and this is not much easier.
Get A Man (IRE) No form in Ireland and back from a very long absence here.
Itop du Moulin Mas (FR) Ex-French, won a poor race over fences at Fontwell but subsequently pulled up over hurdles and hard to fancy here.
Just Adam Hurdling debut having shown only a modicum of ablity in three bumper runs. Best watched.
Koji (NZ) Winner in native New Zealand but out of his depth at Newbury on British debut. Might improve for that, though.
Native Society (IRE) Had some fair Irish form and second on British debut at Chepstow. First run from a lengthy absence when falling at the last over fences. Would propbably have been placed there, and has good place prospects back over timber now.
Oh So Different Teenoso gelding out of unraced mare by Celtic Cone. Nicely bred and could feature on debut.
Owen's Pet (IRE) By Alphabatim out of an Irish maiden hunter chaser by Le Moss. Does not appeal too much on breeding for his racecourse debut.
Right To Reply (IRE) Boasted some fair form in bumpers but has been off for nearly a year. Still looks an interesting prospect, though.
Derrykin 66/1 chance when pulled up at Newbury on only start so far, and no reason why she should fare too much better here.
Griselina (IRE) Has shown very little in four starts over bumpers and hurdles, and difficult to see that changing in this race.
Silver Symphony Poor plater on the flat and hurdles form so far uninspiring.
Stormworthy Miss (IRE) Ran with credit when third at Plumpton on her first start for two years, and could easily come on for that, so has fair claims of reaching the frame, at least.
Eastwood Drifter (USA) Modertae form on the flat and showed nothing on hurdles debut at Kempton.
