Little Task A 40/1 surprise winner at Stratford last time; they went no pace on this particular occasion and his bulk form which is only moderate must be taken into account.
Alphacall Finished fourth behind Little Task last time out at Stratford, but won on penultimate start at Uttoxeter on his hurdling debut in impressive style; taken on this form he must be considered.
Bula Rose (IRE) Won last time out at Cartmel beating Caliban 8L (Alphacall beat Caliban 13L). Trip and going should suit; a likely contender.
Bodfari Millennium Makes hurdling debut today. Flat form is not encouraging and has not run since June; best watched.
Exjaysix Only run to date was in July a maiden at Ayr where he finished 29L beaten in third; best watched on hurdling debut but others preferred.
Handsome Lad (IRE) Pulled Up on hurdling debut at Cartmel in race won by Bula Rose latest. Flat form uninspiring and despite trainer's success at this track he is hard to fancy.
Spa Gulch (USA) Pulled Up on hurdling debut and makes little appeal on flat form.
Tap Dance Best watched on debut run; good jockey booking cannot be ignored.
The Names Bond Has been unlucky on both hurdle starts, was badly hampered at the first on latest outing when going off favourite; must be considered today.
Zieting (IRE) Unlucky when saddle slipped on hurdling debut. Flat form only moderate and others preferred today.
Feanor Best watched on debut run; will need the experience.
Moon Royale Decent sort on the flat, won a selling Handicap over 8f at Thirsk in July. Makes hurdling debut; an intersting prospect.
En El Em (IRE) In both hurdle starts she has been beaten conclusively by Hawkes Run; makes little appeal today.
