13/2

Cracksman colt. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful 7f/7.5f winner Alexej. Interesting pedigree for a race like this and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Whiskey Yankee

5/2

Hunter's Light gelding. Brother to useful hurdler Ed Keeper, and half-brother to 3 winners, including French 17f hurdle winner Que T'es Belle. Dam, French hurdler (2¼m winner). Appeals on paper for yard boasting a good record in this discipline.

Starzand (13/8), Whiskey Yankee (5/2), Caliach Point (10/3), Empire Day (13/2), Jaja Jimmy (12/1)

This could be a good bumper despite the lack of numbers. Expensive Irish point recruit STARZAND gets the vote but Sam Thomas has a good strike-rate in bumpers so Whiskey Yankee would rate a big danger if the betting vibes are strong. Caliach Point ran to a fair level when an encouraging fourth on his Huntingdon debut and should also have a part to play.
