Bhutan (IRE) Hails from a stable in-form and goes well fresh. He is an effective weight carrier and should go well on his try at this level.
Hugo De Perro (FR) Another trying this grade for the first time, after a series of disappointing efforts at a higher level. However, he is not the easiest of rides and is becoming expensive to follow. He has the right man on-board if on song and may be the one to beat with conditions to suit.
Borehill Joker Should be sharper for a recent outing on the flat at Lingfield but looks to have a little to find with some of these judged on official ratings.
Kinnino Winner of a couple of sellers on the flat this term but he has a lot to prove after failing to impress in his outings over hurdles so-far.
Phar Less Hassle (IRE) Lost his way a touch towards the back-end of last season when the mixture of hurdling and chasing left him in a corner but he cannot be ruled out on the best of his form and his liking for this course should see him go well.
Okeedokee (FR) Should have conditions to suit but he has a bit to prove after a long absence.
Wonderboy (IRE) Would appear to have a difficult task ahead of him.
