'Last year's Ebor winner who has potential off this mark in view of that Flat form'

'The form of his Betfair Hurdle second reads very well and he's a big player'

'Went close in this race last year; 2lb higher this time; every chance he'll be in the mix'

'Runner-up in the Grade 2 mares' novice here last March and has continued the good work'

'Decisive win at Musselburgh latest; very different track today but may have more to offer'

'Won this last year & went very close in Imperial Cup last Saturday; firmly in calculations'

'4yo Grade 1 win last April; good third on handicap debut at Leopardstown; in with a chance'

'Very close third in the Fred Winter last March; needs to build on this season's form'

'Absent since below-par run last October but won big-field Listowel 4yo handicap previously'

'Runner-up in two good races in December but his form needs to go to a new level today'

'Well handicapped on his chase form and promising hurdle run last month; very interesting'

'With a leading trainer but she's 4lb out of the handicap and improvement is needed'

'Recent Plumpton winner; this is much hotter but caught the eye in last year's Fred Winter'

'Third behind Ballyburn and Slade Steel last time and holds strong claims on that evidence'

'13-2, going well in midfield when brought down two out at Leopardstown; could be involved'

'Fair chasing form this season; 7th in this last year and now 4lb lower; each-way possible'
