The strongest contenders on form are BIG BOY BARNEY, Orderoftheday, Pioneer Pete and Roll Tide in that order of preference. There are some noteworthy types among the remainder, particularly well-bred newcomer Double Tiger.[Steve Boow]

Beat a useful sort in his Irish point, then made the frame at Warwick in race won by Destination Dubai who subsequently ran well in Aintree Grade 2; has strong claims on form.
Half-brother to four winners, notably Sure Touch (useful bumper/hurdle/chase); dam smart 1m7f-2m5f jumps winner, closely related to Long Run; interesting newcomer.
Sold for £95,000 since going close in second attempt in Irish points; has joined Nicky Henderson, who also runs Night Ride Home; heed the market signals.
Trailed home last of seven at Southwell, failing to back up his C&D effort (finished fifth); return to Warwick may have positive effect but he's not particularly solid.
22,000euros foal, 87,000euros 3yo; half-brother to winners Baltimore Bucko (useful US 2m-2m2f jumps) and Madaket (2m3f/3m hurdle); has had wind surgery; market informative.
Bought for £125,000 after Irish point win; creditable second in both rules attempts, latest at Wetherby behind a horse who subsequently had a crack at Grade 2 level; solid claims.
Doesn't have a striking pedigree but he showed promise in newcomers' event at this course four weeks ago, finishing second of 11; clear possibilities if he can progress.
Promising third of seven at Doncaster; the first two give mixed messages as regards that form but he's open to improvement and Harry Cobden is a positive booking.
Showed ability with her second-place finish, albeit 14l behind the winner, in Irish point; siblings include a bumper scorer; the betting should offer further guidance.
20,000euros 3yo; dam 2m1f/2m2f chase winner, sister to a point winner and half-sister to 1m winner Levantine, out of 5f Group 2 winner; others preferred.
One of two runners for Nicky Henderson; Flat bred; didn't live up to market expectations in Kempton contest but may improve with that effort under his belt.
£100,000 3yo; half-sister to bumper/3m hurdle winner Walk In The Brise; well-related dam placed 11.5f AQPS Flat/2m-3m hurdles; looks a likely sort on breeding.
