Tommy Carson Lightly-raced over fences and although has little worthwhile form that may be good enough to challenge here; however has plenty to find with the selection.
He Knows The Rules Has been running creditably of late including recent placed efforts at Uttoxeter and Fontwell; a reproduction of those efforts should be good enough here.
Rambling Sam (IRE) Disappointing run in selling chase at Hereford last time but had previously put up two solid efforts; that would be good enough to challenge for a place today.
Italko (FR) Well beaten at Fontwell and although this is a poor contest is hard to fancy.
Mill Lord (IRE) Has failed to complete last five races and it would be no surprise if that run was extended to six.
Arizona Bold Has put up a long succession of poor performances and although he will appreciate this easier company is still hard to make a case for.
Foxy Dawn Invariably finished well beaten and more of the same expected.
Woodlands Energy Outsider who will not spring a surprise.
