  We present a new analysis of the expected magnetospheric radio emission from
extrasolar giant planets for a distance limited sample of the nearest known
extrasolar planets. Using recent results on the correlation between stellar
X-ray flux and mass-loss rates from nearby stars, we estimate the expected
mass-loss rates of the host stars of extrasolar planets that lie within 20pc of
the Earth. We find that some of the host stars have mass-loss rates that are
more than 100 times that of the Sun, and given the expected dependence of the
planetary magnetospheric radio flux on stellar wind properties this has a very
substantial effect. Using these results and extrapolations of the likely
magnetic properties of the extrasolar planets we infer their likely radio
properties.
  We compile a list of the most promising radio targets, and conclude that the
planets orbiting Tau Bootes, Gliese 86, Upsilon Andromeda and HD1237 (as well
as HD179949) are the most promising candidates, with expected flux levels that
should be detectable in the near future with upcoming telescope arrays. The
expected emission peak from these candidate radio emitting planets is typically
\~40-50 MHz. We also discuss a range of observational considerations for
detecting extrasolar giant planets.
