Pleasington
Two-time novice hurdle winner (1m7f/2m, heavy) who was a close third of five on his chase and handicap debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) three weeks ago; every chance this longer trip will suit and he's one to consider.

Inedit Star
Three wins in France (bumpers/hurdle); 0-8 over fences and takes on some progressive types but he's run well in defeat off this mark on each of his last three starts (2m-2m4f, good to soft/good); could be thereabouts.

Kdeux Saint Fray
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner (good to soft/good) who fell on chase debut but showed what is capable of when winning at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; a 3lb rise could prove lenient for this 5yo.

Guard The Moon
Progressive over hurdles last autumn, including when winning after a break (2m5f, good), and he returned to form at Perth (3m2f, good to soft) in April when disputing the lead when falling two out; this half-brother to smart chaser Potterman is one to be interested in on his chase debut.

Captain Butler
Point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner (soft-good) who was a clear second when the even-money favourite on his stable and handicap hurdle debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; this very lightly raced 7yo may well improve both for that outing and today's switch to fences; firmly in calculations.

It's Hard To Know
Won late last year on first two hurdle starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/good to soft); well beaten in Grade 1 Challow next time and likewise in the EBF Final in March when last seen, but a break may have helped and this point winner retains potential now switched to fences.
