Welcome To Due's (USA) No show on sole start in Hexham bumper; impossible to recommend.
Sunshine Boy In good form over hurdles last season and has shown enough on the level in the past to make him a serious contender.
Desert Spa (USA) Doesn't appear to be any great shakes on evidence so far but is open to a little improvement and cannot be totally ruled out.
Amjad Has shown his liking for the all-weather in the past but has been absent for nine weeks since a bad run on heavy ground at Pontefract; open to improvement.
Alsahib (USA) In good form of late and must go well now back at his optimum trip; sure to take the beating.
Wellcome Inn Poor performer who looks out of his depth once again.
Taleca Son (IRE) No show in two hurdles outings this month and hasn't run on the level for nearly a year; has gone well here in the past though and should be fit enough to do himself justice.
Al's Fella (IRE) Looks very moderate on evidence so far and is impossible to recommend.
Plazzotta (IRE) A real plodder;no chance.
