Ibin St James Currently on a very attractive mark following three unplaced runs this season.
Faith Again (IRE) Tough sort who may need a faster surface.
Hoh Tel (IRE) Looks totally exposed and hard to fancy in this grade.
Blasket Sound (IRE) Stays very well and loves the easy surface; one for the short list.
Nazzaro Dour stayer who reserves his best for Fontwell.
Christy's Pride (IRE) Could turn out be an out and out stayer; lightly raced but looks in the handicapper's grip.
Barrigan's Hill (IRE) Stamina doubts cloud the chances of this ex-Irish gelding; won last two starts but this is much tougher.
Chadswell (IRE) Lightly raced and on the upgrade; won ten months ago at Cartmel and that length of absence may count against him here.
Little Notice (IRE) Fitness doubts due to long absence from track; has been tried over fences but is equally effective over the smaller obstacles.
Treasure Chest (IRE) Not one to rely on totally but goes well for today's jockey; suited by the surface and may go well.
Mr Christie Quirky character who needs to be in the right mood to perform well; prevailing conditions will suit and there is every chance he could go well here.
Barton Bog (IRE) Could be open to improvement as he is only lightly raced; ran well on heavy last time and looks a bit of a dark horse here.
Kippanour (USA) Won a seller over course and distance last year but has risen in the weights and may struggle in this event.
Maybeseven Will be fitter for run at Warwick last time; ran some creditable efforts last term and could be in the shake up here.
Purple Lace Improvement needed to take a hand here.
Absolutely Hopeful Acts on the ground but this is his first attempt over hurdles for over a year; best watched here.
Arizona Bold Much to prove from over a stone out of the handicap.
Crookedstone (IRE) First outing over hurdles for nearly two years; not badly treated.
