Draco Malfoy (G)
FAV
Winning hurdling debut at Huntingdon in December and advanced his form under a penalty when a clear second of 7 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) 28 days ago. Firmly in the picture.

Big Ticket (G)
Easily won his sole start in Irish points in May and promising second placings in novices (around 2m4f) at Aintree and Ascot. Pulled up in hot 2m5f Ascot maiden last time but reportedly suffered an overreach and well worth another chance.

Ercall Fox (G)
Encouraging fifth of 13 in strong novice hurdle at Warwick (16f, good to soft, 200/1) on debut 67 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Needs a big step forward.

Handin Manypockets (G)
Changed hands for £55,000 after finishing third in point in November. Made a promising start in this sphere when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 25 days ago and a likely player here with better to come.

Star Of Honour (M)
Successful twice from 4 starts between the flags and not disgraced starting out under Rules when sixth in 2m3f Warwick novice in November. Well beaten there since and probably one for handicaps.
