Bluey (M)
Bumper/dual hurdle winner who looks to have a bright future over fences judged on his opening success in Kempton novice handicap 6 weeks ago. A 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold bid.

Mighty Bandit (G)
Fairly useful hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott last term (changed hands for €420,000) and reached a similar level on Flat for this yard, winning at Ffos Las in August. Switches to fences on his return to jumps. Yard also runs Koapey.

Palacio (G)
[HT]
Free-going sort who made a successful start to his chasing career in 2m Chepstow novice handicap 23 days ago but he didn't progress over hurdles last season so needs to prove he can build on that.

Secret Des Dieux (G)
Dual hurdle winner who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner Fakenham novice handicap last month. This is a stronger race but he's in good hands and should have more to come.
