Givemefive
Posted personal best in first-time tongue-strap five weeks ago, making all in four-runner race at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); that was his fourth hurdles win, and with more improvement possible he should go well again.

Luttrell Lad
Fourth of 17 in the Swinton Hurdle here last spring; capitalised on reduced mark at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in February and far from disgraced in warm race at Aintree two weeks ago; shortlisted.

Bluegrass
Having a productive season and took his record over 2m at Fakenham to 3-3 when scoring bravely five weeks ago; handles good and soft ground; up another 3lb but cannot be dismissed.

Oslo
Often let down by his jumping and made several mistakes when last of six at Wetherby (second favourite) in November; has since been unplaced twice on the AW; potentially well handicapped but has something to prove.

Well Educated
Won twice in quick succession (2m4f/2m) last May but the handicapper looked in charge after that; has slipped back down the weights but is still 1lb higher than for most recent success; returns from five months off.

Schmilsson
Now 2lb lower than when scoring under Kevin Brogan at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in October, but he seems to have been going through the motions since; needs to be revitalised by first-time cheekpieces.

Got Grey
In good form last August/September, winning twice on a sound surface; seemingly disappointing last five outings but there have been excuses; the tongue-strap returns today and so does Harry Skelton; interesting contender.
