Bugise Seagull (G)
[P1]
A useful hurdler/chaser but he was pulled up in Pertemps Hurdle at Cheltenham in the spring and resumed with a tailed-off last of 4 in handicap chase here (24f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

J J Moon (G)
FAV
Had a wind op before returning with success in 2m5f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in October. Backed it up with a good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago so he must enter calculations.

Rockola Vogue (M)
Upwardly-mobile mare who has landed handicap hurdles at Bangor in October and Ascot following month. Travelled smoothly in 3m event on latter occasion so big shout despite taking another 6 lb rise.

Hillview (G)
A useful winning hurdler at his best but he's been off the track for 23 months since pulled up in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f). Has his fitness to prove here but handily weighted.

Spike Jones (G)
[PT]
Low-mileage 8-y-o who comes here in good nick, third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 17 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Stone's Throw (G)
Resumed his progress with emphatic victory in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up 5 lb but strong at the finish there so can't be ruled out.
