Rubaud (8/13), Brentford Hope (11/8), Sassified (14/1), Invincible De Mee (25/1), Let It Shine (40/1), Sailed Away (50/1), Little Pi (66/1), The Rain King (80/1), Nous Esperons (100/1), Clay (150/1), Russies Dream (150/1), Gun Runner Cash (150/1), Shee's A Stella (250/1), Instant Gambler (250/1)

BRENTFORD HOPE is a talented Flat performer who showed aptitude for hurdling when second in a novice at Ludlow recently, so he's well worth a chance to open his account at the second attempt in this sphere despite the presence of Rubaud, an easy winner over C&D last month. That pair will probably have it between them but Sassified is open to improvement.
