Desert Fighter Rarely runs a bad race and has been progressive of late; looks the one to beat; acts on most surfaces.
Tortugas (FR) Poor selling hurdler who is best avoided here.
A Thousand Dreams (IRE) Always seems to complete but at his own pace; place possibilities at best.
Behari (IRE) Looked a shadow of his former self when reappearing after long absence at Uttoxeter recently.
Castrato Poor gelding.
Chopin (IRE) Has not won for over three years and unlikely to find a tune today.
Dunston Slick Poor selling hurdler of little worth.
Greenback (BEL) Fair reappearance run here five weeks ago; should do better and looks the main threat to the favourite.
Grey Friars Had progressive (though not great) bumper form last season; pulled up on hurdles debut and best watched here.
Kings To Open No promise on latest and only outing.
Pas de Probleme (IRE) Fair form on the Flat; no show on hurdles debut but should improve and could sneak a place.
Southern Dunes No real chance.
Classic Fable (IRE) Unlikely to feature in this sort of event.
Miss Man Been off the track for a long time.
Top of The Class (IRE) Has shown ability on his day but is prone to the odd mistake; chance if in the mood here.
Saint Ciel (USA) Not the force he is at his beloved Haydock but ran well last time out; needs to improve on that effort to stand a real chance at these weights.
