Europa Has made a good impression this season, winning a bumper (on heavy) and a novices' hurdle. Still improving and is the one to beat here.
Beaver Run (IRE) Didn't appear to stay when tried over 2m 4f last time. Before that she'd run up a 4-timer. Acts on heavy.
Bengal Boy Makes his hurdling debut after unplaced efforts in bumpers.
Lord Lambrini (IRE) Has been off the track for nearly two years. No form of note.
Retribution No show in bumpers. Hurdling debutant.
Cutina Has shown only modest form to date.
The Rile (IRE) Bumper winner who has shown some promise over hurdles. However, would need to improve a good deal to trouble Europa. Acts on heavy.
