Bassano (USA) Some promise over hurdles but it didn't go as far as it looked it might; chasing debut.
Prate Box (IRE) Lightly-raced over recent years; little show in two efforts this season.
Running de Cerisy (FR) Jumped poorly last time; was running well when falling five out the time before; can't be ruled out.
Dixie River (IRE) She's improving with experience over fences; has run well here and must go onto the shortlist.
Peewit Bridge Won off a mark of 90 first time up this season over course and distance; has shown little since; course and distance winner the season before also but is 10lbs higher for that effort.
Burnt Imp (USA) Struggles to get his head in front these days despite a number of placed efforts; hasn't won over fences since Nov 99 (rated 100).
Proper Primitive 7 lbs higher than when winning at Fontwell on Oct 25; has done his winning at Fontwell and Plumpton.
Oneanthreequarters (IRE) Hasn't progressed as much from novice days as may have been hoped for; probably well-handicapped on the basis of those days but he's been beaten at around his current mark so it's best not to get too carried away with nostalgia.
Sissinghurst Flyer (IRE) No form this year.
Knightsbridge Star (IRE) His best form is over two miles on better ground; 3 lbs higher than when he last won; may be vulnerable at this trip.
