Lorenzino (IRE) Showed plenty of guts when battling back to score on hurdling bow at Wetherby and looks a fair recruit; sure to be thereabouts today.
Sharp Belline (IRE) Put up an amzing performance to score at Doncaster last time but might have been flattered in a fast run race; nonetheless has to be respected.
All Bleevable Has shown little in three starts and hard to see him taking a hand in the finish.
Alvaro (IRE) Modest sort who doesn't look up to the task today.
Avalanche (FR) Cost 33,000gns off the flat and ran a great race on debut at Kempton before getting stuck in the mud last time;could take the beating if handling today's conditions and could prove the value in a trappy event.
Benbyas Takes on Lorenzino again after going down by a neck at Wetherby and connections would appear to fancy their chances; sound each-way chance.
Castleshane (IRE) Ran very well behind smart Bilboa at Kempton last time in a much better race and will have plenty of supporters in his bid to score in lower grade.
Divulge (USA) Took keen hold debut over hurdles and didn't look any great shakes;hard to fancy.
Imaginative Pricey purchase from Maurice Zilber's yard in France and shaped with definite promise on debut, running well to three out before getting tired; scope for further improvement and is an outsider with fair place claims.
Imperial Rocket (USA) raced too free on hurdling bow at Doncaster but should be capable of better; hard to assess in a pretty hot contest.
Mister Falcon (FR) Ran very well on British debut when 3rd to Capriccio in a fair race at Warwick and looks sure to improve; likely to have plenty of supporters with stable continuing in great form.
Ocean Tide No show in hurdles start to date and difficult to fancy.
Pompeii (IRE) Placed all three starts over hurdles to date and capable of picking up a race or two in time, but this looks a tough assignment.
Rum Punch Highly tried behind classy Dibea Times last time out and fared pretty well without troubling the judge; likely to show his best in handicap company but note any market moves today.
Typhoon Tilly Decent staying handicapper on the level and could make up into a fair hurdler in time; once again the market will indicate any stable confidence.
Warjan (FR) Fair form in three French hurdle events and could be anything in a fascinating contest.
Triple Sharp Showed signs of ability on sol;e start but will most likely find things a bit tough in this company.
