Throw The Deuce (IRE) Won a maiden hurdle at Cork in July. Makes British debut for new yard, amateur jockey taking 7lbs off this top weighted horse; one for the shortlist.
Distinctly East (IRE) Very exposed on the flat (mostly AW). Has had two runs over hurdles nad off these performances makes little appeal.
Lord Omni (USA) Has won twice on the flat over 6f. MAkes hurdling debut today; best watched.
Northern Echo Finished fourth at Cartmel on last outing when fitted with tongue strap for the first time; cannot be discounted today.
Portrack Junction (IRE) Beaten 62L on hurdling debut at Huntingdon in August; unlikely to feature today.
Tormentoso Very moderate form makes him hard to fancy.
Colette (IRE) Has had three runs over hurdles producing a second and a third. Would be more experienced than most today; must be considered.
Maid To Love (IRE) Last two runs at Worcester have been disappointing, pulling up on penultimate start. Has produced some credible placed form over the summer; has to be considered today.
St Pacokise (IRE) Makes hurdling debut today; has not shown enough on the flat to make any appeal today.
True Lies Has not been disgraced on last two NHF race outings, finishing second on penultimate start at Newton Abbot; interesting prospect and best watched on hurdling debut.
Yaheska (IRE) Makes hurdling debut for Milton Bradley today; will need to improve on flat form to be in with a chance today.
Desert Traveller (IRE) Has had three runs on the AW (November and December of last year); makes hurdles and turf debut today; others preferred.
Dusty Democrat Moderate form on flat and over hurdles does not make him the likely winner today.
Peacock Theatre Well beaten on two runs on the flat this season provides little appeal for this colt's debut over hurdles.
Pertemps Boycott (IRE) Makes hurdling debut today. Has provided very little inspiration on the flat; others preferred.
Leanadis Rose Very poor hurdles form; difficult to fancy.
Oh Jamila Makes little appeal on hurdles debut.
Slipper Rose On both hurdle starts to date makes little appeal.
