Jingko Blue
Disappointed in Grade 1 novice hurdle at last year's Cheltenham Festival, but looked promising beforehand and created very good impression when readily drawing clear of a next-time-out winner on last month's seasonal/chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); moves up in trip today; the one to beat.

Johnnywho
A very useful novice hurdler last season and won a tactical three-runner novice chase at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) on reappearance in October; safely held when third in two subsequent Grade 2 novice chases (2m4f/2m3f), though, and will need to raise his game on this return to 3m.

Lowry's Bar
4-5 as a novice hurdler last season and 2-3 since switched to fences in the autumn, the wins gained in 2m3f handicaps at Exeter and Chepstow (both on soft); did it in pretty good style last time and could quite plausibly have untapped potential over 3m; respected.
