1
Art Dancer
3rd in bumper at Sedgefield on second start; might have an each-way squeak on hurdle debut
4 G Poor Chris Grant 162 - 80/1
Open: 40/1

Hurdle debut; unable to make an impact in his two bumpers and others are preferred
5 G Poor Rebecca Menzies 162 - 150/1
Open: 50/1

Placed on both hurdle starts and sets a good standard for the rest to aim at

Open: 4/7
4
Intenzo (FR)
Has shown some ability but not enough to suggest he's the one to be on today

Open: 80/1

Potential in pedigree; market check advised but he may be one for further down the line
4 G Poor Jennie Candlish 162 - 40/1
Open: 33/1
