Cinquenta
Finished third in his three bumpers last season and he reappeared after wind surgery with close second on hurdling debut here (2m3f, good to soft) last month; went down fighting in that race and he sets a fair standard back at this trip; key player.

Crystello
Runner-up in good-ground Irish point in April and he ran well to a point before weakening into sixth of 14 on stable/hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month; should benefit from that run but he needs a major step forward on this drop on trip.

Fravanco
Dual AW winner but his last success was 15 months ago; runner-up on Polytrack (1m2f/1m4f) in his final two runs during the summer but his only previous hurdle run resulted in a heavy defeat in March and he looks opposable back in this sphere.

Kado Sacree
Won Irish maiden point (3m, soft) in March and was sold for 48,000 the following month; market springer into 6-1 on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month and he kept on well from off the pace to finish fourth of 12; this looks a tougher assignment but that was a promising effort and he's open to more progress.

Precious Metal
Won 16-runner Listed junior bumper at Cheltenham (soft) in January; held in second in two hurdle runs this autumn but he ran into a smart prospect at Stratford and was 13l clear of the third at Southwell last time; should have more to offer in this sphere and he's respected.

Ephyra
0-5 on the Flat for David Menuisier and was tailed off at a big price on her hurdling/stable debut here (2m3f, good to soft) two weeks ago.

8/1 |
Hot Goddess
Modest form in bumpers but she's shown promise with her two frame efforts over hurdles and latest was under prominent tactics at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in February; returns after another absence but she's a half-sister to a 2m hurdle winner and has shaped as though this drop back in trip could suit; not ruled out.
