Bid Me Welcome Campaigned over further last season but no back number; first runner for returning trainer.
Carousing Fit from a good run over hurdles at Warwick and will appreciate any more rain.
Bawsian Course winner, but has been off since January.
Robandela (USA) Has had problems in the past and lightly raced as a result. Twice successful on the all-weather.
The Butterwick Kid Not the force he was and hard to fancy.
Pennys Pride (IRE) Dual bumper winner, likely to need the outing.
Rakeeb (USA) Last year's winner but not done a great deal since.
Skyers A Kite Recent win over hurdles at Catterick may have taken a bit out of her.
Urgent Swift Unlucky not to win this in the past and geared up with a victory at Southwell last week. Should make another bold bid.
Wilemmgeo Not been in the best of form on the all-weather and hard to see hin getting involved here.
Chief Wardance Apart from a bumper, is yet to win on the level, and will be better for the run.
Little John Still a maiden but will at least be fir from a recent spin over timber.
Bergamo Can't be fancied despite fitness claims.
Lancer (USA) Will appreciate more rain and despite his absence commands the utmost respect.
Ratified Not certain to get trip but can go well for new stable.
February Mountain (IRE) Never really took to the artificial surface but has a chance on his best Irish form.
Moonlight Monty Still a maiden and likely to stay that way after this.
Smarter Charter First run since November but seems to go well in the spring.
Pennys From Heaven Had a fruitless all-weather campaign but not badly treated on turf.
Taliban (IRE) Only had three runs in his life and can only improve this season.
Orange Place (IRE) Last victory came in 1996 and surely no improvement to come.
Major Attraction A big horse who might take some getting fit;lightly weighted though.
Cosmic Case A game winner over hurdles at Kelso last month and not without a chance of making the frame.
Master Cooper (IRE) Ex-Irish. Ran over hurdles in the Tote Gold Trophy. Interesting and one to watch in the market.
