Mick Charlie (16/5), Midland Millie (5/1), Pat Coyne (5/1), Chalky White (6/1), Get Smart (13/2), The Chapel Field (7/1), Marshalled (12/1), Tyrrell's Succes (14/1), Lady Of The Sea (14/1), Thisonesforollie (14/1), Lily Trotter (40/1), Twilight Girl (50/1), Ricky Langford (66/1), Our Lucas (66/1), Laureate (100/1), Stander (150/1)

MICK CHARLIE was progressive over hurdles and made a positive start to his chasing career when a strong-finishing second in a novice at Tramore 3 weeks ago, so he's capable of going one better with improvement on the cards. Pat Coyne, who was third that day, should also be thereabouts, while Marshalled looks the pick of the chasing newcomers.
