King Of Answers
Close second on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (3m2f, good to soft) in April; beaten 5l when last of five behind I Am Max on chase debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) in October but that run gives this point runner-up something to build on and he retains potential back up in trip; unproven on soft.

Al Kalila
Soft-ground maiden hurdle winner who was runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on last month's chase debut, despite a bad mistake mid-race; open to improvement and he's a strong candidate today.

I Am Max
Tailed off at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) latest but a bad early mistake looked costly; prior to that he made a winning return to chasing at Hexham (2m4f, good; versatile ground-wise) and he'll be fine now back up in trip.

Skuna Bay
Off the mark at the fourth attempt over hurdles when making all at Bangor (2m7f, soft), where suited by the step up in trip; this point runner-up could take another step forward now switched to fences on his handicap debut.

Young Jack
His form became patchy over hurdles last season after he won on this card 12 months ago (2m6f, soft); however, a break may have helped and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; not discounted.
