Douglas Hyde
Bought for £85,000 after winning a four-finisher Irish point on heavy ground in March; unable to justify favouritism at Bangor (soft) in October but ran well behind the winner who has since finished second under a penalty; he's up to winning one of these.

10/1 |
Falcao
42,000euros 3yo and the first foal out of an unraced sister to French winners Saint Thierry (2m1f hurdle/chase) and Saint Remi (2m1f-2m5f chase); respected yard operates at a low strike-rate in bumpers; tongue tied for debut.

Giantsgrave
Bought for £92,000 after finishing runner-up in a 3m slow-ground Irish point last April and the third has done well since in points and under rules; looks a good prospect for his top yard.

5/1 |
Loch Na Keal
Dam was placed in a bumper and half-sister to bumper/smart 2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Deputy Dan and useful bumper/2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Minella Class; stable wins plenty of bumpers with newcomers; interesting.

8/1 |
Next Twist
85,000euros 3yo; patiently ridden when 12-1 at Sandown (good to soft) and never threatened in that 16l defeat; he still showed promise, though, and that was probably a strong race (time was good).

- Bryan Carver / C Honour

66/1 |
Pougie
Finished last at Cheltenham in October but showed more to be sixth at Exeter (soft); will need more again and probably a lot more.

12/1 |
Twist Of Fatecatch
70,000euros 2yo and half-brother to a useful winning jumper in France; lacked the gears of the principals at Plumpton (good to soft) but showed ability and today's slower ground is likely to suit him better.

18/1 |
Woodythewoodpecker
17-2 when beaten just under 10l on good ground at Southwell in May and that form hasn't worked out too badly; lacks a run and will encounter slower conditions this time.
