Irregularheartbeat (7/2), General Clermont (6/1), Hollybank King (13/2), Clody Valley (8/1), Golden Ferret (17/2), Itsalonglongroad (17/2), Leahman (11/1), Inagh's Gift (14/1), No Logic (18/1), Secret Cargo (20/1), Time To Bite (22/1), Bellgrove (22/1), Neptunus Equester (25/1), So Easy Way (25/1), Joeswayornoway (28/1), Tango Theatre (28/1)

IRREGULARHEARTBEAT is nicely treated if able to translate her latest hurdle form back to fences so she's the suggestion in this open handicap. Clody Valley was in fine form when last seen in the autumn and will be a threat if ready to roll. Hollybank King could also a prominent role if able to bounce back from a lesser run last time.
