Behrajan (IRE) Classy hurdler (4l behind Bacchanal in Stayers' Hurdle); has taken well to fences, and lost little in defeat behind Frantic Tan (subsequent De Vere Gold Cup winner) at Newbury last time. The one to beat.
You're Agoodun Useful recruit from the Pipe stable, but has become an unreliable jumper; probably best watched.
Captain Oates First start under rules for a long time; recent efforts in points not encouraging.
Cross The Suir (IRE) Nothing special about his Irish form and is held by You're Agoodun on Hereford running.
Diva's Delight Looks out of his depth in this company.
Maximize (IRE) Unexposed after just four starts under rules and entitled to improve, but faces a stiff task.
Montifault (FR) Plumpton novice hurdle winner, who has yet to fully convince since switched to chasing; French import from
Motellino (IRE) Belated debut for this son of Montelimar; surprising if he is good enough.
Rosco A better hurdler than a chaser so far, but jumped better at Sandown last time.
