Croesy Pennant Lightly raced enough to offer hope of improvement but could struggle against more experienced rivals.
Dangerous Deploy Best of a poor bunch of efforts came on heavy ground at Taunton; pulled up last time when beaten; no real chance.
Felix Randal (IRE) Type who will improve with racing and is probably best watched on his hurdle debut.
Ijika (FR) Well beaten on only two starts and could struggle once again to race on terms.
Jaloux d'Estruval (FR) Three solid efforts on a variety of goings; step back in trip a concern but is one for the shortlist.
Lucky Bay (IRE) Creditable effort on only start; would not need to improve too much to play a leading role in this poor race.
Dancemma Well beaten on only outing so far and one to watch here rather than bet on.
Martha Reilly (IRE) Has been slowly improving with racing and although step down in trip is a concern but should still be good enough.
Tacita Goes well fresh and if running up to debut run at Ludlow could go well at an interesting price.
Wink And Whisper Trainer in excellent form and this lightly raced mare ran two good races last year; excellent chance if fit enough today.
