Galactic Power (7/2), Dentley De Mee (4/1), Spiritual Man (9/2), Number One London (9/2), Bright Tomorrow (7/1), Bambi Du Noyer (7/1), Scales (9/1), Mr Mulliner (33/1)

NUMBER ONE LONDON can gain a deserved victory following a number of solid placed efforts this autumn by taking this handicap hurdle for trainer Tim Vaughan. The selection was beaten less than 2L when third on heavy ground last time out and can get the better of handicap debutant Dentley De Mee who was a winner last time out while the veteran Scales is another to note as he attempts to follow up a Newton Abbot success last month.
