Alnilam
Record of 2-8 on Flat and 3-10 over hurdles; unbeaten (2-2) since switched to fences, the latest performance at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) where he went clear before three out and wasn't for catching; better than ever and may improve further in this sphere.

Be Aware
Has taken well to fences, scoring readily in handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) then clear second in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m, soft); hood worn both times is now removed; very similar type to last year's winner, stablemate L'Eau du Sud, and has followed the same route; strong credentials.

Lump Sum
Acts on any ground; several pieces of notable form over hurdles, including success in Grade 2 and second in Grade 1; powered clear in the latter stages at Uttoxeter (2m) switched to chasing and that success received a boost when the runner-up went one better next time; solid claims.

Lulamba
Talented and still promising 4yo who bagged Grade 1 honours at Punchestown on final attempt over hurdles, reversing Triumph placings with Poniros; easily justified favouritism at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) on chase debut, taking overall record to 4-5; among the leading Arkle prospects and continues to command the utmost respect.
