Caxton Star This Frenchimport won his last start at Market Rasen earlier in this month. The F in his form can be ignored (only run over fences). The one to beat if he is able to overcome his double penalty.
Cabaret Quest Beaten 27l by Turkestan on his hurdling debut. Respectable flat form but unlikely to make the grade today.
Commander Conn So far unsuccessful in hurdling campaign, easy to oppose.
Condoyle (IRE) remains a maiden after eight starts over hurdles; place chances at best.
Genereux Managed to win a point to point in 1998. Has not run over hurdles since 1997 and unlikely to make the frame today.
Field Master (IRE) Had place chances when UR at final hurdle last time out at Stratford. Uninspiring on the flat, any decent form came last year; a return to that form makes him one to consider for a place.
Loss Adjuster Shown little promise in two NHF races, and failed to produce anything more significant on sole hurdles attempt at Bangor in August where he was beaten 61L; easily opposed.
Reflex Blue Fourth on hurdling debut at Southall where he made mistakes. Has since run on the flat nad if he gets his jumping together would have a serious chance.
April Louise Modest efforts over hurdles; unlikely to win today.
Bittern In four starts to date (three of them hurles) she has been uninspiring and unlikely to inspire today.
Ellora Mill Would need to improve dramatically to win today.
The Woodstock Lady Encouraging form this season finishing second at Fontwell last time (eased down). Decent form on the flat including a win back in 1999; chances today.
Wadenhoe (IRE) A one time winner on the flat two years ago, but flat form of late only moderate; unlikely to feature on hurdling debut.
