Half of the six-strong list are from Jonathan Cape, with Wyld's After the Fire, A Still Small Voice facing stablemates Jason Donald's Choke Chain and The Rescue Man by Anthony Quinn.
The £2,500 prize is awarded to the most promising debut novel issued by a British publisher in the previous year.
The shortlist is selected by a panel of Club members. Chair Suzi Feay said: "We were looking for six novels that were deeply satisfying in their own right, but which also pointed the way to a significant future career."
The winner will be announced on 7th April. Guest adjudicator, novelist Amanda Craig, will select the winner.
