Broken Ice (4/1), Fassbender (4/1), Withallduerespect (5/1), Tagg's Island (11/2), Darkened (13/2), Batalha (13/2), Johanna Yeats (7/1), Caridadi (10/1), All The Angels (12/1), Champagne Izzy (14/1), Memories Remain (18/1), Charlotte Wells (18/1), My Wings (20/1), Clarens (25/1), Airlift (50/1), Melman (80/1), Blaze Of Light (125/1)

DARKENED was fourth behind 3 subsequent winners on his latest start over hurdles at Tramore last month so is of interest here off 2 lb higher. Fassbender is threatening to come good soon and rates the main threat ahead of Withallduerespect.
