Bhutan (IRE) Won a similar race at Plumpton last month and subsequently fourth in a much better race at Aintree. Travels a long way for this and is pick of the weights. Handels any ground and rates a good bet here.
Tom Tailor (GER) Won this race last year but hasn't run since. Clearly goes well fresh though and likely to mput up a decent display at these weights.
Borehill Joker Winner at Southwell last month but flopped over fences a week ago. Has a little to find at the weights here but could run into a place.
Swing Bar Well beaten in all three starts this season and looks to face a stiff task here.
Exterior Profiles (IRE) Ran quite well at wincanton last month but disappointing on only subsequent start. Best form is over a further trip than this and has a bit to find at the weights as well.
Indian Sun Hurdling debut. Won twice over 11 furlongs on the flat this year. Likes soft ground.
Lokomotiv Moderate plater on the flat and has shown nothing in two outings over hurdles.
Dorset Fern (IRE) Well beaten in a seller here last time and has virtually no chance in this better race.
Island Princess (IRE) Offered little encouragement in gurdling debut at Stratford last week.
Kingfishers Bonnet Seemed to put up an improved performance at Newton Abbot last time but this is a harder race.
