King's Stride (IRE) Reverts back to hurdles after disappointing over the larger obstacles; has won over this distance but may appreciate softer going; looks high in the weights.
Prominent Still a maiden; tailed off on last run.
Iron Express Very consistent front-runner; won last time at Donaster over today's distance; appreciates the ground and looks sure to run a good race.
Jordan's Ridge (IRE) Narrowly defeated over today's course and distance three runs ago; likes the ground and could figure.
Native Affair (IRE) No decent form over hurdles; trying today's distance for the first time.
My Sweet Lord (IRE) Well beaten in handicap hurdle races recently; will appreciate this drop in grade.
Sharpastrizam (NZ) New Zealand-bred gelding; no encouragement on softer surfaces; interesting to see how he acts on this faster surface.
Ribble Assembly May be better over a shorter distance; however, was not disgraced over today's trip at Bangor last September; one to consider.
Oxidor (IRE) Showed improved form to win a weak race last time out after being fitted with blinkers; he may improve for that experience; could put up a decent effort.
Baltic Fleet Will need to improve on last times poor effort.
Moskva (IRE) Appreciated firm ground when winning a novices' hurdle last May; however, has disappointed since.
Pilot's Harbour No encouragement so far this year; decent efforts previously on faster ground; chance if returning to form.
Curtainsatchopwell (IRE) Tailed off last week in similar Market Rasen event; not certain to improve on that run.
Old Feathers (IRE) Won recently on the all-weather and sure to be fit for this; needs to find something on previous form with Iron Express; one for the shortlist.
Ulusaba Confirmed promise when comfortably winning a selling hurdle last month; the one to beat with so many question marks against the rest of the field.
