Court Canyon
Point winner (3m, good to yielding) who was unplaced in both bumpers but made winning hurdle debut when odds-on at Clonmel (2m4f, good); open to further improvement for respected Irish yard; strong claims under penalty.

Alba Crus
Won a bumper at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June on second start; tailed off at 40-1 on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft) but that was a much warmer race than this and he's had a wind op since; not ruled out

Joeybottles
Well backed into 3-1 when promising third on debut in bumper at Perth (2m, good to soft) in April and that form reads well; his useful half-brother Sheldon won at up to 2m5f and he's open to improvement now up in trip on this first hurdle start; he's one to consider.

Nothing sparkling among his four starts in Irish maiden points and well beaten at 125-1 on recent hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft).

Noonetellsmenothin
Runner-up on debut in bumper at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in September and kept on for 3l third of four at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) subsequently, when shaping as though he would benefit from this longer trip; possible player now up in trip on hurdle debut.

Western Mount
Hasn't shown enough across his four starts (two bumpers and two novice hurdles) to suggest he'll be making an impact this afternoon.

William Yeats
Runner-up in sole British point (3m, good to firm) and filled the same position on bumper debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) before making all there (2m1f, soft) last month; he did it nicely in a small field and will have a part to play if transferring that promise to hurdles at the first attempt.

Card Lady
Improved for March's debut fifth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) when third there (2m1f, good) in September; in good hands to progress and her useful dam won at up to 2m4f; interesting contender now up in trip on hurdle debut.

Lady Lucky
1,600 3yo; first foal; dam bumper/2m5f hurdle winner (RPR 115), out of unraced half-sister to 2m hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut.

Queen Roslyn
This year's three Flat wins came at a lowly level and she was well beaten last month on her first two hurdle starts.
