J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Has the same strike-rate as Jordans Cross, being 5-8 overall; struggled in the Game Spirit when bidding to take chase record to 3-3; faces a more suitable assignment in this contest and although he has raced mainly at about 2m, the return to 2m4f promises to suit; good third in major novice handicap hurdle at Sandown (good to soft) in sole attempt over this distance; major contender, with further improvement still plausible.

J: Harry Cobden

T: Ben Pauling

Good effort in notable novice handicap on last hurdles attempt; unbeaten otherwise under rules and has taken well to fences, last time defying a penalty at Ayr (2m, heavy); has the worst chance at the weights upped in class but current rating isn't necessarily his ceiling; progressive and could go well.

T: Ben Pauling

Launched hurdling career with three wins last season and ran big race when close third in always-competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) in March; justified favouritism in Wetherby handicap (1m7f, soft) on chasing debut in November and remains a very good prospect.

Won his first three hurdle starts (2m, good to soft) before close third of 16 on handicap debut in the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) in March; connections waste little time in sending this point runner-up (3m, heavy) over fences and he looks a smart prospect.
