Kruger Park
Only 1-13 over hurdles but rediscovered some form when beaten under 5l at Newbury (3m, soft) latest and this represents a drop in grade; has to be considered.

Dwight K Schrute
Won his maiden hurdle here on good ground in March; that was over 2m3f but he stayed 2m7f when close up in a Worcester novice in October; fell mid-race on chase debut last time; he wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Jalisco Star
Progressive hurdler last season and, having struggled over fences on her first two runs this term, she won easily back hurdling in a small field at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft); 7lb higher now but respected nevertheless.

Striking A Pose
Pulled up over fences last time but five of his six wins have been over hurdles; not that consistent even in this discipline but he's capable of going well.

Blade Runner
Very well handicapped on his highs over fences but became hard to predict in that discipline and now returns to hurdling (0-6) after a long absence; could still be a factor, especially should market vibes bode well.

Malago Rose
Shaped well over C&D in early November after a break and another good run at Lingfield when returned to 2m7f; perhaps has her share of weight but the new visor might give her a lift (replaces cheekpieces).
