Wellington Arch
Bumper winner who has made a pleasing start over hurdles and gave the odds-on winner (has since captured a Listed race) plenty to think about over 2m2f here in January (good to soft), with the pair miles clear; has standout claims.

Barleythorpe
Has no entitlement to be troubling the best of these on what he's shown thus far; 250-1 when tailed off in a Southwell maiden two weeks ago.

Fidendum
Could do with settling better and they went a steady pace when beaten under 10l at Warwick on final appearance in September; needs to step up.

7/2 |
Indemnity
Useful on the Flat for Roger Varian and stayed 1m4f, then bought for 80,000gns; too keen for his own good when fourth of 14 (beaten 27l) behind a smart winner on hurdling debut at Kempton (good to soft); the hood could be a notable addition; respected.

Peace Of Rome
Nine-race maiden who has had chances in handicaps, including for Nicky Henderson; looks up against it on his return from a long absence.

Annies Gold
Well down the field in her three bumpers and unlikely to be winning this.

Heather Honey
Some promise in a bumper but very opposable on her early hurdling exploits; handicaps will be more like it.
