Academic Record Slightly improved performance when third last time. A winner on the flat but has a lot to find to win today.
Caliban (IRE) Best runs over this trip, unlucky not to have won a race; today might be his chance.
Circle of Wolves Two moderate runs on the flat, best watched on debut over hurdles.
Desert Traveller (IRE) Made his hurdles debut here without much success and did not show signs of improvement on his subsequent run.
Kilt (FR) Well beaten in a juvenile Novice Hurdle at Kelso, needs to do better to be in the shake up.
Kimoe Warrior Has campaigned on the flat without much success, no great expectations today.
Only When Provoked (IRE) Has had five hurdle races this summer with some respectable form, but has not shown signs of improvement.
Picture Palace Much improved performance to win when put over 2m on the flat. First run for new trainer and if he takes to hurdles then must be respected.
Roaming Ronan (IRE) Moderate form in two hurdle starts, may need time.
Search And Destroy (USA) A winner on the flat and took well to hurdles when finishing a close up second at Chepstow; on jockey bookings looks to be the stable's second string.
Tarongo (FR) Best watched on debut.
Dark Fairy Won on the flat when stepped up in trip, purchased for Pipe yard so must be respected.
Geyserville Making his debut with two moderate flat runs under his belt.
Eastern Red Making debut over timber, adequate flat form but nothing to get excited about.
