Finn Lough (G)
[BT]
Dual chase scorer last winter, including over C&D, but he's yet to hit top form this season and others make more appeal on this occasion. Blinkers are retried.

Kalhandrion (G)

[T]
Has improved for the switch to chasing this term, going in at the first attempt at Huntington (2½m) in November and backing it up with an excellent third of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) 23 days ago. This low-mileage 5-y-o …

The Long Point (G)
[P]
Bumper winner who showed promise over hurdles last term. No significant impact in 2 staying handicap chases at Hereford this season though, tried in cheekpieces last time. Needs to take a step forward.

Swift Jet (G)
[P]
Fair maiden hurdler who recorded a good third at Ludlow in first-time cheekpieces in December. Headgear retained but in rear when fell 9th on his chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Jukebox D'eddy (G)
[TV]
Finally got off the mark (in a headgear change) at Market Rasen (3m) in December and followed it up in 6-runner handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Up another 7 lb but he can make his presence felt again.
