1. Do You Think | A winner of a NH flat race at 2m 1f on soft ground. Third of 9 behind Whisky Express beaten 9l at 4-1 on her latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Newton Abbot over 2m 6f (soft) in March. |
2. Outback Frontiers | Coming off a win to break maiden at Chepstow. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader. K Brogan has had success aboard previously. Can’t dismiss. |
3. Into The Sunset | Back from 19 week spell and having first start for a new trainer. Has a lot of early speed. Cannot rule out. |

5. Grand Knight | A winner of a point-to-point at 2m on good to soft ground, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Name In Lights when fifth of 6 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Kempton over 2m (good) last month. |
6. Cosheston | Resumes from a 35 week spell. Has genuine early speed. Big chance. |
