Buckna (G)
Point winner who has continued progress switched to chasing, winning a couple of handicaps at Hereford this winter. However, was badly let down by his jumping at Newbury since and these fences will punish those who aren't accurate.

Ski Lodge (G)
Progressive winning hurdler and he has started out well in this sphere, runner-up in 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Haydock. Let down by jumping back down in trip at Hereford since but return to further should suit.

Cahier's Den (G)
Maiden over hurdles but often gave his running. Irish point winner so no surprise he showed improved form when fourth of 8 at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) on debut over fences last month and can do better again up in trip.
