11/10
Fairly useful Flat performer who made it 2 wins from 3 over hurdles when defying a penalty in a C&D novice last time. The form of that win will be tested in the opening race on this card, but he's improving and may again be able to dictate on handicap debut.

12/1
Lost his way for the Nicky Henderson yard and is now tried in a first-time tongue strap, having gone with little encouragement on recent comeback/stable debut.

5/6
Progressive sort on the level in Ireland who looked a fairly useful handicapper in the making when landing the odds with a minimum of fuss at Huntingdon second time up over hurdles. Remains potentially well treated on his Flat form and is fancied to land the double on handicap bow.
