Awesome Aunt (IRE) Great effort on chasing debut winning by 7 lengths at Hereford; this looks tougher and the extra trip might not be in his favour but should still run well.
Cassia Heights Not the best of hurdlers and on a long losing streak; tough assignment on chase debut.
L S Lowry (USA) Fell on latest start but had previously been running well over fences; excellent chance to return to winning ways over these fair Ludlow fences.
Monsieur Tagel (FR) Smart hurdler on his day; not been at his best this season but has had a short break and could come back full of running for his chase debut.
Saywhen Well beaten on only start this season and best left alone here.
Top of The Charts Would need to improve on his hurdle form to play a major role here on his chase debut.
Ben Cohan (IRE) Has taken to fences well and looks on the upgrade; step back in trip should suit and is expected to run a big race.
Pendant Progressive hurdler last season; faces a tough task on chase debut here against some experienced rivals.
