Bobbi's Beauty
3-8 over fences, including win in this race a year ago (soft ground); nudged up 2lb to career-high mark after creditable second on last month's seasonal debut at Warwick (2m, soft) but promising 7lb claimer Freddie Keighley is enlisted today; likely contender.

Touquet
Bounced back to form with close/clear second to progressive rival over C&D (good) last month, his second run for Nick Gifford; ought to cope with today's slower ground but his recent Plumpton fourth was disappointing and he's not easy to predict.

A Great Excuse
Unexposed 5yo who led for a long way before weakening into fourth on last month's seasonal/stable/handicap/chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) and will presumably be ridden very positively again over this shorter trip; cheekpieces removed after one use; a possible.

Superstylin
Scored on seasonal/stable debut at Worcester (2m, good) in September and was placed on last two appearances, more recently when third (just behind Bobbi's Beauty) at Warwick (2m, soft) last month; suited by this C&D and ought to make his presence felt again.

Angel's Dream
Narrowly beat Superstylin over C&D (soft) last November, after a layoff; absent since disappointing run behind Bobbi's Beauty in this race a year ago but resumes on a workable mark and we know he can go well when fresh.

Miss Fedora
Dual chase winner from off the pace at Plumpton last season (2m1f, soft/good) but has lost her way since the spring; pulled up when returned to Plumpton 12 days ago and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces here.

Mega Speculator
Well beaten in selling handicap hurdle on stable debut in September and failed to complete both subsequent chases; made most of the running and was still prominent before unseating at fourth-last fence at Ludlow (2m, good) last month but is not sure to be suited by the slower ground here and others look much less risky.

El Rojo Grande
0-11 under rules; in pretty good form when last seen in the spring, perhaps most notably when second at Warwick (2m, good) on penultimate outing, and should be fine on the slower ground here but others have more pressing claims.
