Flying Ace (G)
FAV
Third in sole point and has offered something to work on when fourth in bumper at Navan (2m, soft) and maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (19f, good) this spring. Open to improvement and might have found a good opening here.

Masekela (G)
Fair middle distance performer on the Flat for Tim Easterby. No immediate promise switched to hurdles for new yard at Hexham 25 days ago but the stable's good record here offers hope for better this time.

Military Cross (G)
[T]
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Too free in 1½m York handicap on recent stable debut but this half-brother to high-class hurdler Wicklow Brave starts out over hurdles in a very winnable contest.

Big Gypsy King (F)
