Placed in all three of his bumpers and improved for his first start over obstacles with a win at Worcester last time. Looks like the one to beat under a penalty with more to come.
Not beaten a rival home in two starts under rules but showed a bit more ability in point-to-points. Looks a little out of his depth here though. Wears a first-time tongue-tie.
Scored on bumper debut and showed promise in first two runs over hurdles. Lost his way a little but showed some promise at Punchestown last time and interesting runner for new yard in a first-time tongue-tie.
Useful winner on the Flat and showed a liking for this game on hurdles debut last time out at Bangon when second of eight. Has a race like this in him if he can transfer all his ability from the Flat to this sphere.
Finished runner-up in a weak looking maiden point-to-point in June and well beaten in a four runner bumper on rules debut at Fontwell in August. No better when tailed off here on second start and plenty to prove at present.
Went well when runner-up in a point-to-point last month but this looks a tough test for her rules bow.
Well beaten on bumper debut at Warwick last year and tailed off here at the start of the month on comeback run. Hard to fancy in a race as competitive as this.
Moderate performer on the Flat for Marco Botti but well beaten on two starts in this sphere and needs to brush up on her jumping if she's going to make any impression over obstacles.

Take To Heart (1/1), Gettysburg Address (7/4), Havana Beat (3/1), Forever My Friend (4/1), Persistantprincess (16/1), Pull The Trigger (25/1), Backoftherock (33/1), Rubys Cube (50/1), Sahalin (50/1)
TAKE TO HEART is unexposed and there should be more to come having shown a good attitude to win at Worcester earlier in the month. Havana Beat looks like an interesting recruit to the jumping game and shouldn't be dismissed. Dr Richard Newland does well with his new recruits and Gettysburg Address is worth a market check on yard debut.
