Baltic Oak (IRE) The first of two Tom Tate runners; not instantly dismissable but others are preferred
Bang And Blame (IRE) Tom Tate's other runner; by popular stallion Be My Native but, on balance, others preferred
Black Frost (IRE) Likely to be strongly supported for this race; very promising debut run behind Sea Drifting at Wtherby on Feb 17; related to winners and dam is from the same family as Alexander Banquet
Brave Run (IRE) Commance Run gelding who is hard to fully assess but others are preferred on balance
Cuddle Up Not too much to go on judged by breeding; others preferred
Datito (IRE) Dam won a 3m1f chase at Plumpton; bred for this game and should stay a lot further than this in time
Good Thyne Murphy (IRE) Another one that is bred for this game; dam won in Ireland over hurdles
Mr Woodentop (IRE) Very much bred for jumping; you'd think he'd need the run but is from a capable stable and, again, the market might prove a guide
Red Alert Man (IRE) Her dam won over nine furlongs on the flat in Ireland; hard to fully assess
Russell House (IRE) Alan King's representative and is bred for National Hunt; again, the market should be watched to get clues to this one's chances
Angel Delight Hard to assess this Venetia Williams-trained mare so the market might be the best guide
Curiositski By Petoski out of a Song mare, and she represents the Pipe/McCoy combination; plenty of stamina in the blood by stable's runners always command respect
Schizo-Phonic Showed some promise on debut run here and will at least have experience to draw upon; plenty of stamina in the blood so will stay further than this in time
Georgian Harry (IRE) Half-brother to a hurdler/chaser who stayed well although his dam was only modest; others preferred
Hopeful Chance (IRE) Plenty to like in the breeding and is related to winners; late foal who has probably needed time
Jexel (FR) Not much to go by on breeding and others preferred
Son of Laura Looks one of the lesser likely options to win this
Flora Princess Breeding wouldn't put you off at first glance but her dam never showed much over timber
Blaze of Glory (IRE) Supreme Leader gelding who represents owner Robert Ogden; from the Ian Williams stable and warrants some respect
Heroicus (NZ) New Zealand-bred who is related to a winner in Japan; probably not the key here
