Returning from wind surgery when finishing runner-up over C&D on good ground last time out. Drop in trip appeared to suit that day and is one to note in this contest.
Unraced gelding by Alkaadhem cost connections €17,000 at the sales in June last year. Half-brother to a couple of winners and is of interest for a stable with a 40% strike-rate (2/5) in recent weeks.
Unraced son of Spanish Moon purchased for £36,000 11 months ago. Half-brother to useful hurdler Lareena and represents a good yard on first racecourse appearance.
Unraced Vision D'Etat gelding bought for £12,000 in December. Half-brother to four winners over hurdles and market support would be notable on racecourse debut.
Unraced daughter of Rip Van Winkle cost connections €28,000 at the sales in spring last year. Half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Sublimity among others and hails from a top yard on debut.
WHOCALLEDMESPEEDY receives weight from all bar one of her rivals and she can make a winning debut in the concluding bumper. The selection is a half-sister to a Champion Hurdler and she can improve on trainer Dan Skelton's 37% strike-rate (19/52) in recent weeks. Second place can go the way of Richidish who hails from a good local stable while Milkwood who finished second here last time out can finish third on this occasion.
