Not seen since finishing second to Proactif at Auteuil (France) in September. 6L down on that occasion and looks to be facing a tough ask on stable debut. No runner from this stable is easily looked over.

Long standing maiden after 15 starts over hurdles and on the flat. Set a daunting task at Naas last month on heavy ground. Unproven over hurdles on good ground. Has been set an impossible task here.

Expensive purchase off the flat who has been well held in two runs over hurdles at Musselburgh and in the G2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton Park last month. First-time cheekpieces are fitted. Best watched with a view to the future.

Not disgraced on debut when finishing 7.25L behind Macho Man at Auteuil in October when finishing in fourth. Open to plenty of improvement. Likely to be next seasons horse.

Another runner who has been transformed since going over hurdles off the flat. Best performance to date when winning on handicap debut at Sedgefield in January. Up against it on all known form.

Experienced off the flat and wore a first-time hood to win by 2L in a maiden hurdle on heavy ground at Naas in January. Open to any amount of improvement from this stable. Might improve enough to outrun his odds.

First-time cheekpieces didn't have the desired effect when weakening out of things in the G2 Premier Kelso Novices’ Hurdle two weeks ago. Best watched.

Form of his win at Auteuil in October is strong with the second having won since joining Nicky Henderson. Second behind Proactif at Fairyhouse in January. Looks sure to take a big step forward from that Irish debut. Expected to feature.

Winner in France and has been faultless on both starts since joining Dan Skelton. Smooth success at Kempton Park in December before winning then G2 Finesse Juvenile Novices' Hurdle over course and distance. Best of the British chances.

Impressive when winning an academy hurdle at Cork in November. Subsequently sold for a lot of money shortly after. One of the Willie Mullins nine runners. Open to any amount of improvement and not ruled out.

Transformed since going over hurdles after joining the Adam Nicol stable. Listed winner at Wetherby in the Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle before an impressive 6.5L success here in December. That form is strong. Player with strong claims.

Good winner of a jumpers flat contest in October at Nantes (France) but disappointed on heavy ground at Naas in January when 8.75L behind Kai Lung. Made a bad error when going well that day. Not ruled out under Harry Cobden.

Smart performer on the flat in France and hasn't been disgraced in both starts over hurdles. Finished fourth but never threatened last start in the G1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown. Needs to take his form to a new level.

Four-time winner through the Summer and improved to win the G2 Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle here in November. Held his form since but no match for La Luna Artista in the G2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle last month. Likeable but this is a tall order.

Impressive winner at Auteuil on debut in September on very soft ground beating Apolon De Charnie. Stylish winner debut for this stable at Fairyhouse in January by 2.75L. Open to plenty of improvement. Strong claims.

Offered promise behind two impressive juveniles in his first two starts this winter but disappointed at Ludlow last month when 3L down in third place. Easily looked over.

Unbeaten filly who won a listed event at Newbury in November. Beat Tuesday's Fred Winter winner Saratoga by 0.75L at Naas last month. That form looks some of the strongest in this race. Should give a bold sight.

Promising debut last April at Compiegne (France) and things went wrong having been too keen and being hampered early in the race. Needs to jump and settle better. She is one to watch ahead of next season.

Second of nine runners for Willie Mullins. Striking debut for the yard when runner up in the G1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown. Receives weight from her male counterparts. Choice of Paul Townend. Major Player.

Successful in her first two starts over hurdles including a dominant 7L win in the G2 Finale Juvenile Hurdle at Chepstow. Couldn't land a blow here behind Maestro Conti in January. Better ground will suit. Looks up against it.
