L'Epicurien (FR) Beaten favourite last two times over fences but before that a course winner here. Jumps well enough and should be thereabouts.
Cornish Gale (IRE) Third on chasing debut but was reluctant to race and not one to rely on here.
Dunnicks Town Moderate hurdler and poor form over hurdles so far
Surefast No form in bumpers or over timber. Chasing debut here.
Celtic Native (IRE) Very talented hurdler whose best effort last season came when third to Baracouda at Ascot. Although the trip may be a little on the short side, she should be a different class to these and if she jumps, she wins..
Velcro Girl (IRE) Lightly raced over hurdles. Sole victory came at Ludlow last Christmas. Chasing debut.
