Night Fighter (GER) Impressive when making winning reappearance at Worcester last month (off mark of 77); far from disgraced of current mark at Hereford subsequently. Claims again here.
Lysandros (IRE) Ability when last seen but has a long absence to overcome; trainer capable of readying a horse after a lay-off so watch market.
Gee Bee Boy Not disgraced when fourth in Plumpton handicap chase last time; reverts to hurdling here and not particularly well treated.
The Silver Surfer (IRE) Lost little in defeat behind Mill Afrique at Huntingdon over 2m4f last time; drop in trip not a problem on this stiffer course.
Deel Time Claims on steeplechase form here last October; held by The Silver Surfer on running at Huntingdon.
Mr Snaggle (IRE) Recent form uninspiring; likely to again find at least one too good.
Sleeting Inconsistent gelding on a long losing sequence; booking of Adrian Maguire takes the eye.
Dark Romance (IRE) No encouragement from two starts this term; pulled up on both occasions.
Straffan Gold (USA) Has a 900 day absence to overcome; impossible to recommend.
Some Operator (IRE) Well beaten last week but stable in good form at present; can't be discounted of low weight.
Arctic Spirit Solid claims if ignoring most recent start; has been given a break since so maybe something amiss.
Ninnolo (IRE) No real sign of ability so far and faces no easy task even off low weight.
Walcot Lad (IRE) Form figures tell their own stories.
