In depth
Formwatch
Prince Highlight (IRE) Trip and ground will suit; question over fitness but highly rated by connections.
Night Fighter (GER) Has the fitness edge but is paying the penalty for some fine efforts; worth opposing.
Jakes Progress (IRE) Lucky to score at Sedgefield last term and only a matter of time before he goes fencing.
Ocean Line (IRE) Hard to fault his Ludlow victory but has a penalty to overcome.
The Rile (IRE) Been schooled over fences and that is when to follow him.
Noble Pasao (IRE) Had the speed to win on the level in the summer and can be fancied for a place.
Dun Distinctly (IRE) Badly in need of his return at Carlisle and although stripping fitter, does appear to face a tough task.
Petuntse Won on the Flat at Haydock in August and ran well in soft ground at Newcastle recently; has form over hurdles and with stable in form, gets the vote.
Hard Lines (USA) Opened account over hurdles at Cartmel; will find this a lot harder.
Virbius (IRE) Still a maiden on the Flat and over hurdles; likely to remain so.
Russian Court Handled soft when winning at Plumpton; faster ground and penalty not a help.
