Sixmilebridge
Carries a 5lb penalty against a couple of chasing newcomers and he wasn't foot perfect on last month's chase debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft), but he came out on top in that warm three-runner beginners' chase and is open to improvement in this sphere; first past the post in Grade 2 novice hurdle here in January (disqualified due to banned substance); key player.

Made it 2-3 over hurdles with Listed novice win at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) in February and didn't see out 3m when sixth in Grade 1 novice at Aintree in April; this point runner-up (yielding to soft) brings considerable potential to his chase debut and his top trainer has won three of the last five runnings, including last season with Jango Baie.

Point, two-time bumper and two-time hurdle winner who has performed respectably in handicap hurdles on both starts this season, most recently here (2m5f, soft); there can be optimism he'll take to chasing and he's entitled to respect; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Tintintin
Four-time hurdle winner who was a close fourth in the Imperial Cup in March but he has plenty to find with all three of today's opponents and he was pulled up on his recent chase debut at Lingfield.
