Alsvinder is out a Brazilian mare who was a decent performer over 1m2f but whether he'd have the pace for this is debatable. Noah Amor is a half-brother to a 2m chaser so we'll stick with those with experience, though they don't set the bar too high. SANAADH showed speed before weakening over 6f at Nottingham in October so may be suited by dropping back in distance. He's preferred to Never In Doubt, who was only beaten a short head over 6f at Redcar in the autumn, and Corridor Kid.
