Animal
Thorough stayer who is well treated on his best form last season but he returned from an absence with two pulled-up efforts (3m4f/3m5f) early this year; had wind surgery since but he needs a major revival after another break; tongue-tie added.

Village Master
Launched chasing career with five consecutive wins (2m5f-3m2f; good-soft) from April to June last year; latest success was off this mark but he was pulled up on comeback in November and was only fourth of six at Plumpton the following month; had another wind op since but has some questions to answer on his return; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Mortens Leam
Admirable 13yo who recorded his seventh chase win when scoring at Fakenham (2m5f, good) in January; ran well when fair third behind a big improver at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month but this is a different test and he's never won over this far; others are more persuasive.

John The Spark
Ex-Irish 8yo; won three of nine points but 0-12 under rules and tailed off over hurdles (2m3f maiden) and fences (2m5f handicap) here in both runs for current yard; untried at this trip and has lots to prove.

Hill Of Tara
In great form over hurdles last winter with four wins at up to 3m2f; has been generally disappointing since last success though, and was pulled up over fences at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in February; still unexposed in this sphere but he needs to bounce back after another break.

Sangiovese
Hurdle winner who made it third-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism at Huntingdon (extended 2m7f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he was as good as ever with that clearcut win and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player in new headgear.

Uallrightharry
Old-timer who is not easy to predict these days but he got back in the groove with a front-running win here (3m3f, heavy) in January; 6lb higher back on quicker ground but he jumped well last time and remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted.

Constant Friday
Returned from a massive absence in January and he's not made an impact over hurdles or fences; his latest third at Exeter (2m3f, good) was a respectable effort but he's out of the weights and this trip is an unknown.

Autumn Philtre
Sole win was in a point in 2022 and he's struggled over hurdles (2m5f) and fences (3m1f, both on good) for new yard this year; 9lb out of the weights here and can only be watched.
