Flying Instructor Useful chaser who is well treated on best form; may find ground on fast side.
Pennybridge (IRE) Unbeaten at track but yet to win over the trip.
Misty Class (IRE) Bolted up at Southwell last time but a 15 lb rise looks a shade harsh.
Sparky Gayle (IRE) Smart chaser on his day and well handicapped on best form.
Supreme Charm (IRE) Sixth in Scottish National but another who may need an easier surface.
Grimaldi Lad (IRE) Lightly raced; stable in form; nice prospect who should love this fast ground; the one to beat.
Woodfield Gale (IRE) Interesting runner who may once again need an easing of the surface.
Joint Account Good winner of a hunters' chase here last time; acts on the surface and has good prospects.
