Mind Your Money (6/4), Highstreet Roller (13/8), Raven Rule (4/1), Well Funded (10/1), Areutheoneiwant (10/1), Karla Martina (16/1), Spick And Span (25/1), Belle Lurette (25/1), Cnogba (50/1), Class Bishop Lady (66/1), I Sea The Moon (66/1), Oscar Tonic (80/1), Lucy Van Pelt (100/1), Lady De Vesci (100/1), Princesse Cleni (150/1), Flying Glory (200/1), Elusive Point (250/1), Rags Kitten (250/1), Carols Wish (300/1), Newmills Glory (300/1), Xquisite (300/1), Knockmark Sally (300/1)

MIND YOUR MONEY has set a solid platform in bumpers and is very much bred to do better over obstacles, so he's an obvious choice to make a winning hurdling debut at the likely expense of Raven Rule, who has the best form over timber. Highstreet Roller is another one to consider.
