Carryonharry (IRE) Useful hurdler (rated in 120s); comfortable winner on chasing debut at Fontwell earlier in the month. Should follow up in this company if putting in a clear round.
Arctic Gamble Well beaten in decent race over C&D last month; this is no easier.
No Loss Capable performer but highly tried on debut over regulation fences.
Priestthorn (IRE) Looks the type to make a chaser but fell on debut over fences. That may have knocked his confidence; main danger to the favourite granted a clear round though.
Creative Time (IRE) Needs to improve on reappearance third at Stratford; stable's horses remain in fine fettle.
Dunnicks Country Moderate plater; looks outclassed.
