Frontier Prince
Bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October; made a pleasing handicap debut when third of 13 finishers at Cheltenham (2m, soft) last month and should run well.

Ambiente Friendly
Runner-up in the 2024 Derby and third in the Irish Derby; went off the rails subsequently on Flat but showed he has a future in this sphere when fourth at Cheltenham (2m, soft) on his hurdles debut and winning over C&D (soft) 15 days ago; makes handicap debut and a fascinating contender.

Aviemore
Made a good start to his hurdling career last term, winning twice including over C&D; has not been in the same form in two runs this autumn and all of a sudden has something to prove.

Across Earth
Progressive over hurdles, winning two of his last three this term, latest when benefiting from being held up when successful at Sandown (2m, soft) 17 days ago; up 6lb but on the upgrade and looks a major player.

Won twice over hurdles in March, including over C&D, but well beaten in his three starts since; blinkers worn when trained in Ireland on the Flat return but he has a bit to prove.

Caelan
Got off the mark over hurdles at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in September in first-time hood; ran his best race when second over C&D (good) last month but beaten by Across Earth at Sandown since; may have more to offer back here.
