|
18/1 |
Ostend
Hurdles winner in Ireland; form figures of 77P for new yard, the last two starts over fences; others have stronger claims on recent evidence.

- Rich Spirit
- Peter Kavanagh / J Parkinson & S Smith

5/1 |
Rich Spirit
Two chase efforts comprise a fall and modest fourth; good second off 3lb higher over hurdles here (2m3f) a year ago and has possibilities if back to that form.

- Yealand
- Sean Quinlan / J Candlish

|
7/2 |
Yealand
Dual hurdles scorer; sound performances since switched to fences, winning at this course (2m4f) then good second at Sedgefield (2m3f); steadily progressive and has major claims returned to Doncaster.

- Salt Rock
- Thomas Bellamy / K Bailey & M Nicholls
|

|
7/2 |
Salt Rock
Low-mileage 7yo who started career with an impressive point win (2m4f); duly proved suited by the switch to chasing at Hereford (2m; handicap debut) most recently and should build on that success; respected.

- Awaythelad
- Ben Jones / B Pauling
|
|
121
|
14/1 |
Awaythelad
Two wins over hurdles; regressive results (34P) since switched to chasing; chance depends on whether new headgear prompts a turnaround.
|

- One More Stroke
- B S Hughes / D Mccain Jnr
|
|
120
|
15/2 |
One More Stroke
Consistent sort whose overall form figures read 22211332, the wins over hurdles; ran creditably at Musselburgh (2m4f; second chase attempt) most recently; solid chance off same mark.
|
|
|
|
- Touchy Feely
- James Bowen / N J Henderson
|
|
122
|
22/1 |
Touchy Feely
Scored twice over hurdles early in career; patchy form since and has failed to complete (PFP) in three chase attempts; on a very workable mark but has enough to prove back in this sphere.
|

|
- Militaire
- Paul O'brien / W Greatrex
|
|
|
18/1 |
Militaire
Seven-race maiden whose consistent record was dented last month on return from lengthy absence (achieved nothing); market may prove best guide on this second run back and chase debut.
|
|
|
|
- Kuzco
- Henry Brooke / O Greenall & J Guerriero
|
|

|
10/3 |
Kuzco
Eight-race maiden; ran well at Market Rasen (2m4f; chase debut) most recently, while shaping as if this new trip is worth exploring (pedigree backs up that impression); interesting with progress plausible.
