Fern Hill
Raised only a collective 6lb for winning small-field handicap chases around 3m at Uttoxeter and Huntingdon (both on good; copes with softer); he was rated a lot higher back in the day so highly likely that he'll run well again.

Visual Impact
Three times a runner-up over hurdles last season (2m4f-3m, soft/good to soft); again ran well when third of 12 on his recent chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) and could very easily find plenty on that form returned to 3m.

Gold Emery
Often competitive over fences despite being 0-11 and another solid run in defeat at Uttoxeter (3m2f, heavy); shouldn't be far away.

Moonlight Flit
Flashes of promise over hurdles for Nicky Henderson and has won two points since leaving that yard; not the easiest to get a grip on ahead of this chase debut.

The Scorpion King
Won twice over fences at about this time last year (3m, soft/3m1f, heavy) and his respectable reappearance was over hurdles, albeit off a 7lb lower mark than today's; 3-8 as a chaser and firmly enters the reckoning.

Pachacuti
None too consistent but on a useful mark and his third at Ffos Las represented a return to form (3m, soft); in the mix.

Express Surprise
Off the same mark as when a 4l third at Lingfield (2m7f, good), which is 7lb higher than for his sole win under rules; that did come on soft ground so returning to similar conditions has to be a positive; chance.

One Last Glance
Won over hurdles (2m, heavy) and fences (2m5f, good to soft) last season; still in contention when unseating two fences out at Plumpton 19 days ago; couldn't rule out.

Ballylinch
A case can be made on best form but has been laboured in two runs after an absence; risky for now.
