Avalon Buck (IRE) In great form in novice company and sure to go well despite being landed with top weight on handicap bow.
Cupboard Lover Fair sort; beaten when blundered last most recent start and will need to improve a little to take this.
Cage Aux Folles (IRE) In good form most starts this term and was just touched off last time; likely to put up another bold show.
Needwood Lion Not the best of jumpers but has plenty of ability and looks on an attractive mark today; could go close with a clear round.
Wrangel (FR) Won at Fakenham last start over hurdles but has subsequently run poorly on the level and others make more appeal.
Irish Fashion (USA) Goes well on the ground and should be straighter after his run out last month; not without a chance.
Pebble Moon Dropped in grade after being far from disgraced at Newbury last time; note any market moves.
Tui Best on fast ground and has a ten month absence to overcome.
Mr Bombastique (IRE) Fourteen months off the course andnbasically doesn't look good enough.
Brooksie Consistent but one-paced soft ground performer who looks set to play a minor role at best once again.
Bowl of Gold Absent for over a year but does have some form on heavy ground and cannot be totally dismissed.
Persian Dream (IRE) Hasn't run for four years; no obvious chance.
Key Grip (IRE) Poor performer with little hope here.
Peerless Motion (IRE) Good effort in easier race last time out but is on the upgrade and could go close; handles the ground well.
Be In Space Absent for nearly a year and very hard to fancy.
