Lastman (USA) Improved for step up in trip last time when winning here last month; this is tougher but should still run well although will be without the assistance of his usual jockey.
Mandicat (IRE) Showed a little bit of form before injury but not enough to suggest he is capable of winning here.
Ferrers The best hurdler of these but hardly inspired on his chase debut; should be good enough if taking better to fences but more experience would have helped.
Karinga Prince Did not have to be at his best to land poor race at Fontwell; should improve on that run but may not be good enough.
Richie's Delight (IRE) Lost his way of late over fences and was given confidence boosting run over hurdles last time out; should go close if 'boosted' enough.
I've No Say (IRE) Generally consistent over fences but effort last time on soft was poor; should be closer here if ground comes up fast.
Deliceo (IRE) Did not have to be at his best to win last time out at Towcester but has shown bits and pieces of form in the past; place possibilities.
Lord Fleet (IRE) Likely to find things tough off this mark.
