Arribilo (GER) Makes his jumping debut as a seven-year-old.
Dick The Taxi Tends to pull hard but has more than enough ability to win a race of this nature; acts on track and going.
Hindi Should improve for his debut run at Warwick on Nov 16 but he would certainly need to.
Isou (FR) Some promise on his debut here on Jan 18 (2m3:5f,soft) but would need to improve on that.
Maragun (GER) Unraced in this country but from the Pipe/McCoy team and has to be respected.
Orswell Crest Long absence to overcome and makes hurdling debut here.
Russian Court Another with an absence to overcome and it's hard to make a case for his chances.
Sarasota (IRE) Some promise on his hurdling debut but needs to step up on that.
The Camden Blower (IRE) No form to date.
Alba Street Makes hurdling debut after little show in a bumper at Newcastle.
Dutchess Little show in two hurdle attempts here.
Charalambous (USA) Improved on his tailed-off hurdling debut to finish second in a fairly modest event at Wincanton (2m,soft).
Pekanese (IRE) Some promise as a maiden on the flat and acted on soft; may need the experience.
De Tramuntana Good effort on hurdling debut to finish second to Momentous Jones at Fontwell on Jan 23 (2m2:5f,soft/heavy); a repetition of that would give her a very good chance here.
