Orchestra
Hurdle winner in November; returned to the Flat over C&D five weeks ago and went down by just a nose in a tongue-tie for the first time; he's had a wind operation since and looks a leading contender up just 1lb.

Vin Rouge
Running creditably on turf/AW last summer; well beaten in two hurdle runs when last seen; opposable in a competitive race after a break.

Currumbin
Stepped up in distance by new trainer and it's borne fruit, getting off the mark in a 1m6f handicap at Southwell in December (well backed) and winning a 2m handicap at Chelmsford two weeks ago; may have further improvement in him at this trip.

Further Measure
Record over 2m+ reads 72113221 and he comes here in fine form; 2lb higher than for a snug Southwell win four weeks ago and he's high on the list in his hat-trick bid.

Alex The Great
Won twice since joining Tony Carroll, the latest an easy win over C&D four weeks ago; a 5lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out this time.

The Colorist
1m4f win at Lingfield last September; narrowly failed over 1m4f here four weeks ago (visored) and he looks worth a crack at this longer trip; cheekpieces are the headgear of choice this time.

Toby Tops
Well beaten in handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f this month; dropped 8lb and now upped further in distance and tried in a change of headgear; others look much safer.

Edna E Mode
Well held in two Class 6 handicaps for her new yard this winter, finishing 16l behind Further Measure at Southwell last time; the visor needs to have a dramatic effect.
