Space Voyage
Four-time hurdle winner; flopped badly when favourite for chasing debut in 2023 but returned to fences with ready success at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) last month, beating Ede'iffs Rock by 8l; too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but a recent 7lb rise is manageable if she's in the right mood again.

Legends Ryde
Three-time chase winner; placed off 5lb higher at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in December 2022 but absent since refusing to race in cross-country chase there the following month and tricky to weigh up after her layoff.

Gazette Bourgeoise
Came good over fences at 13th attempt, keeping on well to draw 12l clear at Fakenham (2m5f, good) on New Year's Day; lost ground when reluctant to jump off there later in January but eventually kept on for respectable fourth (just behind So Said I) in a valuable series final; no surprise if she features.

So Said I
Did not get home after racing too freely in Plumpton marathon this month but was in good form over 2m4f-2m5f beforehand; arguably second best on merit when third behind smart rival in valuable series final at Fakenham (2m5f, good) two starts ago and has strong claims if back on song here; swaps usual blinkers for first-time cheekpieces.

Ede'iffs Rock
Won over hurdles (2m4f) and fences (2m5f) towards end of last year; no threat to Space Voyage when second at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but has since posted another decent effort at Plumpton (2m3f, soft); probably won't be far away.
