Infini (FR) Steady introduction at Market Rasen last time out over hurdles; interesting that trainer sends him over fences straight away (although has been sent over them once before in France).
Black Abbey (IRE) No real prospect of winning on the balance of his poor racecourse form.
Calhoun (FR) Looks the form pick over hurdles and if reproducing that over fences should be hard to beat; might not want it too soft.
Divorce Action (IRE) Decent hurdle form and trainer in good form; McCoy interesting booking and any significant market moves would be worth noting.
Fine Point (IRE) Has been disappointing for a long time and is worth avoiding here.
Augusta Brook (IRE) Occasionally runs a decent effort but could not really be relied upon in this type of event.
Mandy Chat (IRE) Best avoided.
