Brian James First-time blinkers a slight worry; good stayer who would be worse off in a handicap; place possibilities.
Chief Chippie Inconsistent front runner who looks fully exposed and not a real betting proposition.
Falchion Step up in trip not ideal but goes on the ground and ran well last time out; minor chance.
Master Flash (IRE) Shown no promise so far from three starts; step up in trip may help.
Murder Moss (IRE) Lacks a recent run and untried over hurdles; won hunter chase in May 1999 on good ground.
Nousayri (IRE) Will like trip and ground but has been off colour of late; good chance on official ratings but more needed today.
Ourman (IRE) Good effort on hurdles debut last time and the step up in trip could suit; possibilities.
Over The Burn Little appeal on form shown.
San Michel (IRE) Plater on the flat over over 7f; no show in two novice hurdles in Ireland; no real chance.
Scenic Storm (IRE) A bit to find on previous form to take a hand here.
The Grey Dyer (IRE) Booking of Tom Scudamore takes the eye; ran a nice race last time and is one to very much consider.
What's The Buzz Has been chasing; a lot to prove on his return to the smaller obstacles.
Briar Rose (IRE) No real chance.
Dream Angel Faces stiff task here.
Michael's Princess Needs to improve on hurdle form to play a major role here.
