      Behrajan (IRE) One of the leading candidates for the Royal & SunAlliance Novices' Chase at Cheltenham next month. He has had a break since folding on the run-in and getting caught by Hati Roy at Cheltenham in December. The stable is in better form now and he remains an exciting prospect. The one to beat here.

      Cimarrone Cove (IRE) Dual novice chase winner. Stays 3 miles and acts on heavy. Apart from his lapse last time, he's taken well to fences but this represents his toughest test to date.

      Brave Tornado Just gets the better of the weights with Somemanforoneman on their Ascot run. Two decent chase efforts so far and acts on heavy.

      Frantic Tan (IRE) Useful hurdler who got 3 miles well. Just has the better of things with Jolly Green Giant at today's weights based on their Warwick run.

      Jolly Green Giant (IRE) Unbeaten in his two chases to date at up to 2 miles, 4 and a ½ furlongs. He beat Frantic Tan by half-a-lenth at Warwick last time (2m 4.5f,soft) but Frantic Tan is now 4lbs better off. Progressing, has every chance of staying the extra distance although he has to improve again.

      Somemanforoneman (IRE) Finished 1 and 3/4 lenths behind Brave Tornado at Ascot last time (3m,1/2f, good to soft) and is now 5lbs worse off. Acts on very soft
