Progressed well from debut race when winning a Warwick bumper where he led for most of the final mile and showed a good attitude when pressed. Withdrawn from Haydock hurdle race in December but certainly a contender here.
Half-brother to top-class chaser Waiting Patiently. Overcame inexperience to make a winning start at Chepstow but disappointed next in Listed Cheltenham contest as favourite. Remains a bright prospect however and expecting much better here.
Off the mark at the third time of asking when landing a C&D bumper last time out. Didn't win with a great deal in hand however so tougher now under a penalty but can improve further.
6L second to Andy Dufresne in lone Irish point. That rival won an Irish bumper by 10L for Gordon Elliott on rules debut so clearly has plenty of potential having joined a top yard.
Saint Des Saints newcomer out of smart bumper/hurdle/chase winner Carole's Legacy who hails from an excellent jumping family. Very interesting newcomer and market can guide.
Bought for £115,000 after winning lone Irish point-to-point in December. Not a great deal to quantify that form so far but obviously a newcomer of serious potential with yard always feared in bumpers.
Sholokhov gelding that cost €40,000 as a three-year-old. Half-brother to a couple of smart winners. Seventh beaten 21L on debut at Wincanton but can surely improve for the experience although this appears a deep contest.
Coolmore bred newcomer by Galileo so no surprise to see he hails from an excellent flat family with half-brother Moonlight Cloud a multiple Group One winner. Bred to have speed but question why he never ran on the Flat.
Small margin winner of his only point-to-point in November he now makes his bumper debut for a yard who are always to be respected with their runners in such contests. Market may guide as to expectations.
Half-brother to five winners including Corkage and Holly Bush Henry made a fair start when fourth in a Warwick bumper winner in December. Benefit for the experience now but this considerably tougher.
Shirocco half-brother to two seven-time winners most notably the smart Doctor Harper. 19L fifth to more experienced The Macon Lugnatic latest but should get closer now especially with that rival penalised.
Newcomer by Great Pretender a half-brother to four winners under NH rules out of a bumper winning dam. Interesting debutant worth noting in the market.
Keen on debut at Huntingdon in November but only faded 2f from home. Better next when fourth at Lingfield but this considerably stronger so will struggle to repeat such an effort.

Although he faces three previous winners here a chance is taken on expensive point-to-point winner CHANTRY HOUSE who was well backed before being withdrawn at Kempton last week suggesting he is held in high regard by the champion trainer. Well bred Mcfabulous disappointed latest but made a good impression on debut so rates a big danger with Keep Rolling also a serious contender on the back of his Warwick win latest.
