Promising 15½L fourth in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, soft) when making his racecourse debut in February. Likely to have improved for the experience and is one to note in this contest.
Still held chances when falling two out in a point-to-point on debut in December 2018 and ran well in that sphere when a head second at Dromahane (3m, soft) later that month. Interesting runner on Rules and stable debut.
Winner over 1m3f on the Flat at Kempton in July last year and recorded his best effort over hurdles when 8L fifth over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton (soft) in January. Cheekpieces tried for the first time on debut for this yard.
Useful chaser on his day and ran well when finishing runner-up in a novice hurdle at Catterick (good-to-soft) over this trip last December. Disappointing subsequently and is a notable runner on his first start since wind surgery.
Good 7L second in a 2m bumper at Worcester (good) in July last year when debuting under Rules. Struggled in a similar event and two point-to-point races since and others make more appeal on hurdles and stable debut.
Fair 29L seventh in a 2m novice hurdle at Southwell (good) on jumping debut at the start of this month. Improvement needed if he is to break his maiden in this race.
Victorious on the AW at Wolverhampton in April last year but finished held twice over hurdles last season and is probably best watched in a first time tongue tie having finished well held at Bath (2m1f, good-to-firm) on the Flat last time.
Failed to finish in two of her three point-to-point starts and was beaten 33L when fifth in a 2m1f novice hurdle at Carlisle (soft) on Rules debut in March. Others hold more obvious claims.
Signs of ability in two starts in bumpers and improved on her debut effort over hurdles when finishing 37L sixth in a 2m novice event at Southwell (good) earlier this month. Others hold more obvious claims.
Placed in a couple of 2m4f maiden point-to-point races in spring 2018 but has struggled in all three starts under Rules since joining this yard and is probably best watched on her first start since November.
Twice a winner on the AW and was beaten just 2¼L when fifth in a 1m4f handicap at Pontefract (good) when debuting for this yard last month. Probably best watched on first start over jumps however.

Mercian Prince (15/8), Del Duque (9/4), Galileo Silver (7/2), Finisk River (7/1), Allthatglistens (14/1), Ever So Cool (20/1), Percy Alexander (33/1), Raven's Raft (33/1), Kitty's Light (40/1), Sleepy Hollow (66/1), African Glory (100/1), Justu (150/1)
DEL DUQUE showed ability when fourth on hurdling debut and he can break his maiden at the second time of asking in this competitive looking event. Mercian Prince has shown good form over fences in the past and he can claim second on his return to hurdling while third place can go to Finisk River who ran well in point-to-point company and is making his debut under Rules.
