Monarch's Pursuit Was in the process of running well here when unseating rider in January and was badly hampered last time at Kelso. With a bit of luck in running is entitled to make the frame at least.
Glanmerin (IRE) Not at his best of late but has been given a chance by the handicapper and must be respected.
Aircon (IRE) Scored nicely at Warwick last time and can be expected to give his running again here; leading contender.
Aelred Should handle the ground and balance of form entitles him to respect; fair each-eay prospects.
Cherry Tart (IRE) In and out sort just touched off last time at Lingfield in bad ground; unreliable but does have the ability to get involved.
San Francisco One paced sort who is hard to get excited about even in this company.
Orswellthatenswell Not much going for him other than the fact that he did win a hunter chase round here in the past.
Fassan (IRE) On the downgrade these days and likely to struggle once again.
Riverside Lodge (IRE) Very moderate and impossible to fancy.
