Sad Mad Bad (USA) Hasn't run well this season but has been dropped to a reasonable mark should he return to form.
Crookedstone (IRE) Another to have been dropped a good bit in the ratings after some lacklustre efforts this time around; if he gets his form back, he would have to have a chance.
Picket Piece Only a novice over fences and has come to them late in life; some promise of late but he needs to improve again.
Brushfire (IRE) Lightly-raced novice who has shown promise; has a break of nearly a year to overcome.
Knight's Crest (IRE) Long-time absentee and likely to need this.
Precious Island Only 2 lbs higher than when winning here (2m4:5f,soft) on Jan 31; no reason why she shouldn't run her usual race.
Red Emperor Is 13 lbs better off with Precious Island for finishing 15 lengths behind her at Leicester on Jan 23 (course and distance); is entitled to get closer today.
Fin Bec (FR) 6 lbs higher than when winning at Folkestone on Jan 26; stays this trip well and should ensure a good pace.
