Aeroplane Blonde
Showed a bit in two bumpers before departing early when 33-1 for hurdling debut; likely best watched for now.

Bongo Man
Both runs over hurdles have been on good ground at Huntingdon, latterly no match for an odds-on winner (stablemate of Frontier Prince); has the benefit of hurdling experience and unlikely to be too far away.

Cuillin Ridge
No closer than 17l in three starts, the latest his hurdling debut at Chepstow (2m, good); has more to prove than some of these.

- Ben Jones / B Pauling

11/1 |
Moves Like Mason
Uncompetitive in his first two Irish points and his second in March isn't strong form; however, has joined a respected yard for rules action.

Farhh Echo
Strictly held by Frontier Prince on their clash in a bumper and he has since pulled up on hurdling debut (40-1).

Frontier Prince
Won a Kempton bumper (soft) and was beaten only 10l when midfield in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month; every chance on this switch to hurdling.

Trustintimes
Unlikely that it was a strong bumper he won at Kempton (2m) but this isn't a strong maiden hurdle and he's open to improvement.

Forcetoreckonwith
Winning pointer but it's been a fairly low-key start over hurdles and others have achieved more; wore the hood last time when third of five runners at Haydock.

Settle Down Jill
Winning pointer whose bumper form makes for respectable reading and she predictably came up short in a Listed race on recent hurdling debut at Cheltenham; could play a leading role now down in grade.
