Springfield Scally On top of his form at the moment and scored in good style at Uttoxeter last time; handles the ground but might find the trip a bit sharp under his big weight.
Or Royal (FR) Quirky but talented character who isn't guaranteed to jump off at the start; chance if on a going day though.
Heart of Avondale (IRE) Absent for 20 months and has changed stables since decent novice form two seasons ago; trainer (N Henderson) capable of getting them ready after an absence so market might prove the best guide.
Goldanzig (IRE) Shaped with promise on seasonal reappearance and could figure if improving for the run; each-way possible.
Regal Holly Unbeaten this term and has gradually progressed and looks capable of going further still; sure to give another good account of herself.
Perfect Venue (IRE) Doesn't look totally in love with the game but does have ability; ; not one to rely on.
Bicycle Thief (IRE) Not shown his form so far this term and a watching brief is advised until showing more.
Stormy Skye (IRE) Inconsistent but capable on his day and would have a real chance if putting best foot forward.
Quistaquay Needs plenty of stoking up and looks a bit below par at present;others make more appeal.
Kittenkat Genuine sort who goes well under today's conditions and has a decent racing weight; one to consider.
Guard Duty Not the easiest of rides but has been in great heart of late and looks to be in the form of his life; sure to attract plenty of support in his bid for the five-timer and likely to go close once again.
Montreal (FR) Has been crying out for this step up in trip since joining M Pipe from France and could make stable companion Guard Duty go a bit today; certainly not a weak stable second string.
Hurdante (IRE) Hasn't taken to novice chasing and returns to the smaller obstacles today, but is hard to make a case for.
