Fujita Scale
Beaten only about 4l when fourth in good-ground course bumper in May but was remote when filling same position at Ayr (good to soft) last month and needs to improve to pose a threat on this hurdling debut.

Kingston Narcissus
Placed several times on the Flat in France and has improved with experience over hurdles; runner-up over C&D (good to soft/good) on consecutive outings this autumn, losing out only by a neck on latter occasion; likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Knight Of Magic
Modest Flat maiden who was a well-beaten outsider on his two hurdling attempts last month; can't be recommended.

Maghlaak
Useful Flat racer who won a valuable 1m2f Goodwood handicap for Charles Hills in May (RPR 95); outpaced and unable to land a significant blow on recent stable/hurdle debut at Cheltenham but that was a fairly tough introduction to this code and he might have learned from that experience.

Mr Escobar
Useful Flat racer; has a tendency to race too freely and ran out at the first flight on the second of his three hurdling starts but he posted a good effort when clear second of 16 behind a stablemate at Listowel (2m2f, soft) in September and is the one to beat if all goes to plan.

Joined Donald McCain after finishing second in soft-ground Irish point in the spring but made underwhelming rules debut when fifth of six in soft-ground Bangor bumper last month and needs to take a big step forward.

Val Bassett
Seemed to take quite well to hurdling when third of six on stable debut at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in August and has another go at this game after a low-grade AW win last month; cheekpieces removed after one use; holds each-way claims at least.

Only beaten about 13l when fifth of seven here (2m4f, good) on recent hurdling debut but that was a modest mares' race and she has a lot more on her plate today.

Finished last in both her bumpers and was pulled up over C&D when 200-1 for hurdling debut three weeks ago.

She's Got Bottle
Five-time Flat winner at up to 1m2f; looked as good as ever when second over 1m in September (RPR 76) and can be competitive here if she takes well to hurdling at the first attempt.

Tres Bien
Belied 40-1 odds when placed in run-of-the-mill Newton Abbot bumper for David Pipe in June but was pulled up on all three hurdling starts for new stable since and it takes a huge leap of faith to support her here.
