American Trio (G)
[V]
Lightly-raced 5-y-o was much improved in a change of headgear when easily landing a gamble in a novice selling hurdle at Exeter, before running at least as well in defeat behind a well-treated one in a thin handicap at Huntingdon.

Tao Enki (G)
[P]
Low-mileage 6-y-o produced an improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Hereford last time, and with this significantly longer trip expected to suit, he's fancied to go one better.

Roxboro River (G)
Below form since winning over C&D in July off a 1 lb higher mark but he did at least step up on his reappearance run when a creditable seventh of 15 in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time.

Lion Of The Desert (G)
FAV
[H]
Front-running type came up short in his bid for a Ffos Las hat-trick when third of 5 there last time. Will need to jump better on a sharper track, though is clearly in fine heart and could get an easy lead.

Shesonnet (M)
Caused something of a surprise when making a winning return/handicap debut at Warwick (21f) and while she's still unexposed over this sort of trip, there's no guarantee that things unfold as favourably here.

Parikarma (M)
[B]
Well held on first Flat start for new yard at Southwell last time but should at least appreciate stepping back up in distance off a career-low hurdles mark.

Miss Tiara (M)
[T]
Maiden has hit the frame on both starts since a second breathing operation but was reported to be coughing post-race following her latest fourth of 8 at Taunton last month.

Masonbrook Meadow (M)
Produced her best effort to date when runner-up at Fakenham latest (might well have notched a second career win had she jumped the last better) and another bold bid is expected with her stable going well.

Shes All Pride (M)
Made more impact than previously when third over C&D on handicap debut but she failed to repeat that effort from out of the weights at Ludlow and hopes probably rest on some Sean Bowen magic.
