Exotic Dancer has been allotted top weight of 11st 12lb in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on November 29th.
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained eight-year-old, owned by Sir Robert Ogden, made a pleasing reappearance when second behind another Hennessy possible Knowhere (10st 10lb) in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree last month.
Paul Nicholls has seven entries as he bids to follow up last year's victory with subsequent Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Denman.
They include Gungadu (10st 11lb), owned by the Denman team of Paul Barber and Harry Findlay, and ante-post favourite Big Buck's (10st 5lb).
Gold Cup fourth Halcon Genelardais (11st 1lb), set to make his seasonal debut at Cheltenham on Saturday, is one of two possibles from Alan King's stable.
The other is Nenuphar Collonges (9st 1lb), whose odds were cut to 14-1 from 20-1 thanks to an impressive victory at Bangor on Wednesday - for which he received a 6lb penalty.
Grand National winner Comply Or Die (10st 6lb), along with Madison Du Berlais (10st 2lb) and Dom D'Orgeval (9st 8lb) comprise David Pipe's three entries.
Other interesting possibles include last year's third, the John Quinn-trained Character Building (9st 4lb), Carl Llewellyn's recent Ascot scorer Roll Along (10st 10lb), SunAlliance Chase victor Albertas Run (10st 7lb) and 2006 Hennessy hero State Of Play (10st 4lb).
