Majed (FR) Ex-French chaser who has run really well since arriving in Britain; good win last time over a longer trip but should not be inconvenienced by todays' distance and ground; sure to make a bold bid here.
Beacon Boy No show on hurdles debut in a decent Taunton contest; difficult to see him taking a hand today.
Hasard Saisi (FR) Another decent ex-French chaser hailing from a strong yard; interesting contender here.
Itop du Moulin Mas (FR) Poor form in Britain so far and may better over the larger obstacles.
Lettherebelight Difficult to fancy on racecourse debut.
Orleans (IRE) Fit from the Flat but is not running well; likely to better back over hurdles but may prove best watched.
Tanglefoot Tipple Has been racing in Points and best overlooked today.
Daytor (IRE) Poor NH Flat form; best watched.
Gemolly (IRE) Unlikely to be up to winning this judged on form in weaker races.
Miss Azur (FR) Has shown no signs of promise so far; unlikely to trouble the leaders today.
Machrie Bay Decent Flat performer who ran well on hurdles debut; should not be overlooked today.
Ginger Rogers Three-times a winner on Flat and not disgraced on only hurdles run to-date; first run for new trainer today and one for the short-list.
