- U Cant Be Serious
- H Cobden / J Tizzard
|
|
136
|
7/1 |
U Cant Be Serious
Record of 3-3 over 2m3f includes two game wins at Exeter (good to soft) since switched to fences; open to further improvement at this sort of distance and should make a tenacious bid to defy top weight.

- Queensbury Boy
- James Bowen / M Bowen

|
10/1 |
Queensbury Boy
Point/bumper/hurdles winner; in the process of showing promise when badly hampered by final-fence faller at Cheltenham (2m4f) last time on chase/stable debut; could go well, provided he gets better luck.

- Krak
- Sam Twiston-Davies / N & W Twiston-Davies

25/1 |
Krak
Off the mark in 2m3f handicap hurdle on final Irish start; has something to find on his two efforts for new yard, latest at Sandown (1m7f) switched to fences; however, has low mileage and may do better still.

- Noble Park
- N De Boinville / N J Henderson

|
6/4 |
Noble Park
Maiden prior to winning twice since switched to chasing, last time in easy fashion at Lingfield (2m4f, good; runner-up has franked the form since); may well improve further and cope with 11lb rise; respected.

- Jasmine Bliss
- Paul O'brien / Harry Derham

|
|
12/1 |
Jasmine Bliss
Generally progressive mare who is a point and dual bumper/hurdles winner; bit disappointing in a notable handicap when last seen but may still have more to offer; should take well to chasing; one to consider.

- Secret Des Dieux
- J J Burke / James Owen

|
17/2 |
Secret Des Dieux
Fairly useful form over 2m since switched to fences, winning comfortably at Fakenham then third at Newbury, both on good to soft; shaped last time as if this step back up in trip will suit; not ruled out.
|

- Barlovento
- S Bowen / O Murphy

|
5/1 |
Barlovento
Lightly raced bumper/hurdle winner; had wind surgery prior to half-length second behind U Cant Be Serious at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) on chase/seasonal debut; gets a 7lb pull with that rival; possibilities.

- Epic West
- G Sheehan / Jamie Snowden
|
|
|
9/1 |
Epic West
Solid record in points and novice hurdles, producing form figures of 21112; should make a chaser and he's bred to take well to this scenario (best sibling won a useful handicap in sole C&D attempt); interesting.

- Tapley
- Charlie Deutsch / Miss S Smith
|
|
138
|
28/1 |
Tapley
Recent form includes a Wincanton success (2m4f) but his record of 1-6 over fences, combined with high overall mileage, reflects that he's a lot more exposed than today's opponents; opposed.

- Lumi Plugin
- Caoilin Quinn / G & J Moore

|
40/1 |
Lumi Plugin
Largely consistent over hurdles but his form dipped sharply at Chepstow (2m3f) on chase/seasonal debut; while a rebound is possible, others have stronger claims as things stand.
