Francolino (FR) Disappointing since landing handicap chase last October off 4lb higher mark.
Forest Jump (IRE) Showed the benefit of blinkers last time and has claims on earlier Fontwell win, goes well in mud.
Mesa Verde (IRE) Takes a welcome drop in class and well treated if back to best, below par of late.
Ragamuff Inconsistent type and is now 7lb higher for Chepstow win in November.
Bullens Bay (IRE) Won weak selling hurdle last month, not so effective over fences.
Selatan (IRE) Stays well and is effective in the mud, no encouragement in recent starts.
Ross Quay (IRE) Has had his problems and returns after lengthy absence, untested in conditions.
Our Ghillie Making seasonal return but will be staying on when others have cried enough.
Frank Byrne Just 1lb higher than when scoring last term but struggling to recapture best form.
Allow (IRE) Well treated on best chasing form and goes well in the mud, uninspiring hurdling form of late.
Slavica Has won three chases in Ireland and will improve for latest start, now 5lb lower, chances.
Robins Pride (IRE) Suited by forcing pace when winning over course and distance last month, now 5lb higher.
