Nemisto First start over fences and is better treated than over hurdles. Not without a chance.
Marigliano (USA) Ran a cracker here last time and will make a bold bid off just a 2lb higher mark.
Count Karmuski Blinkers had the desired effect at Catterick but he has been hammered by the handicapper as a result.
Donnybrook (IRE) On a decent mark and trip to suit; one for the frame.
Mount Prague (IRE) Course and distance scorer but opposition stronger today.
Knightsbridge Star (IRE) Not the force of last season, but can only improve.
Dragons Bay (IRE) Likely to need the run but not badly handicapped.
Calon Lan (IRE) Very interesting despite first start since December 1999. Stable can get them ready.
Starbuck (NZ) Fair form last term but looks like stable's second string.
Road Racer (IRE) Was very useful over hurdles, won over fences on only start last term and is better of at weights with Marigliano. One for the short list.
Jokers Charm Consistent enough and the blinkers may help him be in the shake up.
Under The Thumb Much more to do despite gaining a couple of wins this season.
