Finest View
Five-time hurdle winner who made quite promising chase debut when third (albeit well held) in better race than this at Kempton (2m4f, good) in November; raced too freely and was below that form the following month; still firmly in the reckoning here under optimum conditions.

Flamelco
Won over C&D in January and bordering on career-best form when making most of the running at Plumpton last month (2m1f, good); 5lb rise asks a question but looks sure to be involved.

Paddy In The Caddy
Won't mind returning to a right-handed track as he jumped that way when behind Flamelco at Ffos Las a month ago; lost a shoe when disappointing the time before at Kempton; chance if back to the form he was showing prior to those runs.

Harel Du Marais
Won two Southwell 2m handicaps (good to soft) on opening runs for this yard and was too keen when beaten about 10l under a penalty at Wetherby; same mark here but he remains of interest.

Intrepide Sud
Bumper/hurdle winner; well beaten in his two chases (both handicaps) after slow early jumps had him on the back foot; needs to sharpen up in that department.

Iskar D'airy
Had five chase starts and won two of the last three, coming home 4l to the good at Warwick 24 days ago (2m, good); deserved the 6lb rise and he's tactically versatile; major player.
