Robandela (USA) Raised 6lbs for recent victory here but still likely to go close being on the top of his game at present; sound chance.
Bhutan (IRE) Has been handicap hurdling but goes well round here and is off a reasonable mark; sure to be fit and will have his supporters.
Rossel (USA) Loves it round here (has won on the flat and hurdles) and comes into the race having had a good winter campaign;looks on a handy mark and could take the beating.
Bergamo Has a lot of ground to make up on Robandela on recent running and looks up against it at the wights.
Jordan's Ridge (IRE) Hurdler for the most part and likely be outspeeded by a few of these; others make more appeal.
Ariala Not the most consistent of fillies but capable if she puts her best foot forward; place prospects at best.
Windmill Lane Out of sorts at the moment and is hard to make a case for.
Papi Special (IRE) Distant second here last time and his overall form just doesn't look up to the task.
Cosmic Case Beaten favourite latest and supporters are unlikely to recoup losses on this occasion.
Koincidental (IRE) Takes a big step up in trip and is best watched for the time being.
Hasta La Vista Grand old sort who takes longer to be seen at his best these days (and is unlikely to trouble the judge today.
Sailor A'Hoy No show in recent hurdles runs and likely to struggle in what is a decent closing handicap.
