Ballymena Boy
Runner-up in a point bumper just over a year ago and showed some ability in a Stratford bumper in October, but was beaten when falling at the last on hurdle debut over C&D (soft) in February; something to prove for now.

Dessie Haze
200-1 when fourth of ten at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month, but well beaten in his starts either side; others more solid.

Harksman
Hinted at ability in the first of his two bumpers but still well held; bred to do better now hurdling but still some way down the pecking order.

House Of Habsburg
Showed some ability in two Irish points, but well held on his hurdles debut at Warwick (2m, good) last month; needs to step up.

Wild Goose
Showed promise when placed in both bumpers and was still in touch when hanging badly off the final bend on hurdles debut at Plumpton (2m, good; 6-4) 19 days ago; shortlisted if putting that behind him.

Almeirinda
Showed promise in two starts over hurdles in France in 2023, the latest when second of eight at Lyon-Parilly (2m3f, very soft); makes her debut for her new yard after 23 months off having undergone wind surgery; market revealing.

Chanelle Noir
Showed some ability when fourth of seven in a Musselburgh bumper (good to soft) five weeks ago, but may need a stiffer test than this over hurdles; stable won this two years ago.

Smile Back
Point/bumper winner who was far from disgraced when fifth of 15 on hurdles debut at Huntingdon (2m5f, good to soft) last time, but the drop in trip doesn't look ideal.

- Courageous Strike
- H Cobden / P F Nicholls

Courageous Strike
Dual winner at up to 1m4f on the Flat (RPR 85) and finished second of eight on hurdles debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) this month, having been well clear at one stage; may be better for that run and dropping in trip looks to be a positive; the one to beat.
