Easy winner at Fontwell last time out in a novice hurdle and the manor of that victory was impressive. Should go well again but does have to concede weight all round and probably wouldn't want to see any rain.
Very disappointing when trained on the Flat by Aidan O'Brien but off the mark for this yard over hurdles last time out with a win over C&D and he should be able to build on that. Gets a useful 3lb off his main rival.
Unplaced in both bumpers but has shown some ability. Likely to do better over further with more time but this trip is a step in the right direction at least.
Won a couple of races over fences in 2014 but he's been out of form in recent times and he's more exposed than most of this field; likely to struggle once again here.
Ex German racer who showed little when switched to the UK for Sophie Leech. Changed stables twice since and showed nothing on debut for this yard over hurdles in France last time out; looks limited from an ability perspective.
Finished runner-up in a weak looking maiden point-to-point in June and well beaten on three starts under rules. Probably needs more time to be seen to best effect and hasn't shown enough to warrant consideration here.
Pulled up in point-to-points and either tailed off or pulled up on all starts under rules. Has shown nothing to suggest he can win a race of this nature.
A bad mistake 2 out didn't help her cause at Newton Abbot last time, but she looked held at the time and it wasn't an improvement on her win in a maiden hurdle here the time before. Well related, and should have a future at the game, but needs to improve now, and any rain probably a negative.
Forecasts
Whatzdjazz (11/8), Three Star General (6/4), Norab (7/2), Los Cerritos (25/1), Iron In The Soul (25/1), It's A Steal (33/1), Pull The Trigger (50/1), Western Dream (100/1)
This could well be between Three Star General and NORAB with narrow preference for the former provided the rain stays away. He won well last time out and it's likely he can make his presence felt once again despite having to concede weight to the rest of the field. Whatzdjazz looks best of the rest but she needs to bounce back after she was a beaten short-priced favourite last time out.
