Ayiko
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner on soft ground at Ayr; ended last season with a good third in valuable 2m7f Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle in April; looked to be going okay when unseating six out in 3m1f Navan handicap hurdle on reappearance but it was too far out to predict anything; drops back in trip for chase debut.

Bill Joyce
Smart novice hurdler around 2m4f last season, including a Grade 2 win at Sandown (soft) and third in Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (good to soft); disappointed in 2m7f Punchestown handicap hurdle on his final start but this point winner appeals as one who can get his career back on track now chasing.

Largy Belter
Second in an Irish bumper but tailed off in his two chase runs for this yard; they were good races but he can still only be watched here.

Lario
Quite a useful 2m hurdler who has some good form on soft ground; off 253 days ahead of this chase debut.
