Bee Led for a long way in decent bumper at Towcester recently, his sole start so far. Interesting prospect on hurdles debut.
High Hoyland Just failed to land a big gamble at Musselburgh recently, having been pulled up on debut. Fair flat horse for Richard Hannon a couple of years ago and could be on a recovery mission here.
Ipledgeallegiance (USA) Formerly quite useful when trained by Ed Dunlop on the flat, and shaped nicely when second at Catterick on hurdles bow. Should certainly improve for that sighter and will be spot on now.
Jakes Progress (IRE) Showed improved form on seasonal debut when going down by just a short head to the useful Dark'n Sharp at Newcastle. Definitely the form pick on that effort, and a reproduction of that would make him the one to beat here.
Martinez (IRE) Moderate flat horse, showed little encouragement on hurdles bow at Musselburgh.
Moonlight Monty Reasonable staying handicapper on the level, but pulled up on sole hurdles start so far.
Mumbai Looks fully exposed and unlikely to be good enough to feature in this.
Paxford Jack Placed in a couple of bumpers, but somewhat disappointing on hurdles debut when only third of four, and this looks a harder race.
Chica Holly Moderate flat horse, and pulled up here on only hurdles run last season. Not raced since.
Dishabille Looked very ordinary last season, and unlikely to trouble the market leaders.
Rachels Charm Impossible to fancy on all known form.
Comex Flyer (IRE) Hurdles debut, moderate flat performer at around a mile.
Able Native (IRE) Best flat form came on the all-weather tracks. First try over hurdles.
