Access Overseas Has struggled since winning selling hurdle at Newton Abbot earlier in the year; may have needed most recent start and should strip fitter here.
Allimac (IRE) Respectable second to Exstoto (beaten a distance) at Market Rasen after a lay-off recently; entitled to improve and stable in good form.
Andoli Third in bumper company on only start so far when looking like a stayer; may find two miles on good ground too fast.
Another Joker Claims on Southwell second in a bumper in May; has shown little since, including over hurdles.
Cameron Bridge (IRE) Not beaten far at Hereford last month on soft ground; faster ground here may help but clearly one of the stable's lesser lights.
Le Touquet (FR) French-bred; makes limited appeal on debut.
Milnstorm (IRE) Well beaten on Ascot debut; looks stable second string on jockey bookings.
Miner's Gamble Staying on third in poor novices' event at Southwell last time; needs to improve on that to figure here.
Paxford Jack More exposed than most of these (fair fourth at Towcester in handicap company last time); should run his race but likely to again find at least one too good, especially over this trip (shapes as though wanting further)..
Rose of Tracarta (IRE) Enterprisingly ridden when winning at Exeter in May but again ran well at the same track last month in better race than this; has solid claims.
Sir Alf Makes limited appeal having failed to finish on both starts to date (pulled up on each occasion).
Tosawi (IRE) Little sign of ability so far.
Mytimie (IRE) Justified favouritism to win weak novices' hurdle at Kelso last month; this contest no better and has solid claims under penalty.
Sir Humph No encouragement to be taken from limited opportunities to date.
