Felton Bellevue
10yo who returned to his very best with 11l win at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last Thursday; needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off, but he'll be tough to beat under a 7lb penalty if repeating the form.

Pearl Island
6yo who won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) in December on second chase start; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to raise his game if he's to return to winning ways.

With these cheekpieces back on he got off the mark over fences at the 14th attempt at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; back up 5lb he remains well treated on form as recent as last spring (including on soft ground) and he could play another leading role.

Whynotnowroy
Won over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last May and encouraging fourth of 14 on chase debut at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) last month, when making a bad mistake three out; also effective on soft ground; unexposed over staying trips and can be in the mix if minimising the blunders.

Faitque De L'Isle
10yo whose win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago was just his second from 27 attempts, so there are reservations about him being able to follow up now 6lb higher; however, he came clear with the runner-up and is entitled to respect; also effective on soft ground.

Higgs
Back down to the same mark as when completing a double last May (3m, soft/good) but this 12yo has struggled on his last four starts.
