Royal Infantry
Heavy-ground Listed bumper winner who made it 2-2 over hurdles when comfortably winning an 'introductory' race over C&D (soft) last month; carries 3lb penalty but this exciting 6yo still stands out as the one to beat.

Dedicated Hero
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who won easily at Kelso (2m, soft) last month on his second hurdle start; today is a tougher test of his credentials but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; a possible.

Famous Liss
1-6 in points and went close in novice hurdle at Hexham last June; however, unable to replicate that form since and he'd be a shock winner here.

Got A Dream
Soft-ground bumper winner who was a fair seventh in the Grade 2 at Aintree last April; drops back in trip for his third hurdle start, which could help, but he's hard to fancy on what he's shown in this sphere thus far.

Peacenik
Two-time heavy-ground bumper runner-up who won at Exeter (2m, soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start; on a line through the runner-up he has something to find with Royal Infantry but the Exeter form still reads well and this likeable prospect is open to further improvement.

Walking On A Dream
Three-time 3m point runner-up who filled the same position on his hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft) before going one better there (2m, soft) 16 days ago; he's in good hands to progress and a test of stamina on the ground will play to his strengths, but others have stronger form.

Cloonainra
Point and soft-ground maiden hurdle winner who returned to form when second of 19 on last month's handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding); has a handy 7lb mares' allowance and might not be far away.
