- Pougne Aminta (FR) – She has shown significant improvement in her hurdle debut and could be a strong contender if the ground isn’t an issue. Her recent performance at Southwell puts her firmly in the mix.
- Bridget Breeze (FR) – Comes from a good family and has shown encouraging form on her hurdling debut at Ayr. She is likely to improve further, especially when upped in trip.
- Ol’river Shine (IRE) – Demonstrated promise in her hurdle debut at Plumpton and is entitled to improve. As a half-sister to the very useful Palmers Hill, she could be a solid contender in this race.

- Somewhat Cloudy (IRE) – She has shown good form over hurdles and made a winning chase debut at Market Rasen, with potential to progress further in this sphere. She also beat Howyouplaythegame in that race, which is a strong indicator of her capabilities.
- Getaway Jewel (IRE) – With two wins at Market Rasen and a solid third-place finish at Catterick, Getaway Jewel has shown consistency and potential. The race appears to be weaker than his last, and he has been eased 1 lb, giving him a strong chance in this contest.
- Patagonia (FR) – Although Patagonia bled from the nose during his last race, he has shown promise in novice hurdles and has since joined a new yard. He remains open to progress in this sphere and should not be ruled out.

- Cruz Control – With a win at Newcastle and experience in a Grade 2 event at Cheltenham, he holds standout claims in this race. Although he didn’t perform as well in the Cheltenham race, returning to calmer waters here should give him a strong chance of success.
- God’s Own Getaway – Showed improvement in his second start in a bumper race and is open to further progress, coming from a top stable. Making his hurdle debut in a race that lacks depth, he could be a solid contender.
- Thistlebuffs – Despite being soundly beaten on debut at Kelso, the form of that race is working out nicely, and he’s in good hands to progress. He could be a dark horse in this race and has potential for improvement.
It’s important to keep an eye on the market for any significant movements, particularly for newcomers like Nab Wood, as the betting could be informative.

- Dancewiththewind: Showing consistent improvement and already has a C&D win under his belt. His recent form and versatility in ground conditions make him a strong contender in this race.
- Dare To Shout: An unexposed horse with a winning pointer background, he has a 2-3 record in novice hurdles this year. With plenty of potential for growth, Dare To Shout could make a significant impact in handicaps.
- Fransham: A multiple C&D winner with a strong affinity for this track. Although his recent form has been lackluster, his current attractive mark and potential to bounce back make him a solid choice for the top 3.

- Lounge Lizard: He has shown improvement over fences and won decisively at Catterick last month. With first-time blinkers retained and potential for further improvement, he remains very competitive despite a 7lb increase.
- Feivel: With a recent C&D win and a strong second-place finish at Sandown, he has been in good form. A small 2lb increase in weight should not hinder his chances, and he may still have more to offer for his yard.
- Betty Baloo: She has won over similar conditions and finished second to Lounge Lizard last time out. With a 7lb weight advantage this time, she could be in contention for a better result.

- Rostello (FR) – With a recent win at Southwell and good performance on soft ground, Rostello seems to be in good form and should be tough to beat under a 7lb penalty.
- No Regrets (IRE) – Having returned to form in his latest race at Ayr and sporting first-time cheekpieces, No Regrets could be a strong contender in this race with his experience on soft ground.
- Where’s Hector – Although winless in 9 starts, Where’s Hector has been consistent and shown potential for improvement with a step up in trip. His recent performances over fences make him an interesting contender in this race.

- Smurfette – Showed promise in her debut at Warwick and could improve significantly after her break. She has a strong chance of performing well in this race.
- Unsinkable Molly B – Her pedigree and trainer’s healthy strike-rate in bumpers make her an interesting contender. She could go well on debut, especially if well backed in the market.
- Storm Spirit – Had a promising start at Newcastle last month, finishing a close third. She has the potential to perform well in this race and should be respected.
These three horses have demonstrated potential for improvement and have strong connections. However, it’s important to monitor market movements and any changes in conditions leading up to the race, as these factors could impact the horses’ performances.
