10	C&D winner who has been given a big chance by the handicapper and, though neither start this year has been good, this step back up in trip looks sure to suit and he's well capable of bouncing back with a victory here. 1st Pick 10 Oh So Charming Jockey: M.

9	Career best when readily winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (17f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Hasn't got many miles on the clock and 9 lb rise in the weights might not prevent him following up. 2nd Pick 9 Le Diablo (Fr) Jockey: D. E. Mullins Trainer: John Patrick Ryan, Ireland J: D. E.

5	Finished ahead of a couple of next-time-out winners when runner-up here in October and seemed unsuited by much more testing conditions on reappearance last time. Should strip fitter for that outing and she has a C&D win to her name so makes plenty of appeal. 3rd Pick 5 Colleen Danu (Ire) Jockey: Alex Harvey Trainer: Patrick T.
