Blueking D'oroux
Has work to do having finished behind Nemean Lion and Salver at Windsor (2m4f, soft) last time but he's better than that; reappeared with 1l second in Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle (good; won same race last season) before creditable sixth there in Grade 1 Long Walk (3m, good to soft); respected.

Nemean Lion
Won Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) last February and has been suited by this sort of trip with wins on his last two outings, latest at Windsor (2m4f, soft); the half-length runner-up Salver is 3lb better off today but this highly admirable 8yo will be a tough nut to crack.

Salver
Third in last season's Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham and he was keeping on when falling at the final flight in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle there last month on his first crack at 2m4f; half-length second to Nemean Lion at Windsor (2m4f, soft) since and he's 3lb better off with the winner here; key player.

Punta Del Este
Talented handicapper who was a good third on two of his last three outings for Dan Skelton (2m4f/3m, good to soft/soft); however, considerable improvement is needed now up in grade on debut for new connections.

Steel Ally
Goes up in grade today and he was pulled up in a handicap at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December when last seen; however, prior to that he looked progressive when making all in a very competitive handicap at Haydock (2m3f, soft) and is unexposed at today's trip; not ruled out.
