Having been prepared by Paul Nicholls' former assistant Harry Fry when winning the Champion Hurdle, Rock On Ruby is now in Fry's sole care at his Seaborough base. He was last seen finishing third to Oscar Whisky in the Aintree Hurdle.
Cinders And Ashes could represent Donald McCain, who has won the last two renewals with Peddlers Cross and Overturn.
Countrywide Flame went close to winning the Cesarewitch for John Quinn when he last ran on the Flat.
Also in the mix is Nicky Henderson's Grandouet, who has been off for nearly a year since winning the International Hurdle in December.
Henderson has also entered Darlan and Cash And Go, both due to run this weekend.
Noel Meade's Go Native, winner of the race back in 2009, is also in the mix along with Charles Brynes' Trifolium.
Blue Bajan, Prospect Wells, Get Me Out Of Here and Noble Alan are also among the entries.
