Bust A Move
Fairly useful Flat racer who was far too good for a well-backed subsequent winner when scoring on last month's hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good); deemed worthy of a Triumph Hurdle entry in the meantime and commands respect here.

Cruden
Joined James Ewart after winning gamely on hurdle debut for Jessica Harrington in the autumn and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to soft) on last month's stable debut; that form ties in with Bust A Move on a line through the winner, and he's likely to be in the shake-up again today.

Inappropriate
Fair Flat racer who was eased down when beating the short-odds favourite on stable/hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m, good) in November; slightly disappointing when only fifth at Kempton (2m, good to soft) over Christmas but remains of interest.

Melon
Found Chepstow Grade 2 too tough last month but made bright start to hurdling career when winning a shade cosily at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; front pair clear) a fortnight earlier and is a major player here.

Livano Bello
Placed over hurdles on debut in France in September (2m1f, very soft) but was tailed over over C&D (race in which Cruden came second) on last month's British debut and now has a point to prove.

Narragansett
Won on the Flat in Ireland in September (1m2f, good; RPR 79) and made solid start to hurdling career when clear second to odds-on favourite at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month; entered in Triumph Hurdle and has plenty of scope for improvement.

Rukaana
Flat winner for Charles Hills last spring (8.3f, good; RPR 79) and showed significant hurdling promise for new stable towards end of last year; has a bit to find with the principals here but was unlucky not to finish closer to the target on his latest outing (badly hampered); could have a say.

Scotland The Brave
Has shown some ability on the Flat in recent weeks but was about 41l behind Cruden over C&D on last month's hurdling debut.
