London Eye (9/5), Deluxe Music (10/3), Yasmin From York (6/1), Keep The Faith (8/1), Regimento (11/1), Tykenwear (11/1), Zuckerberg (12/1), Tiger Spirit (20/1), Highland Sky (40/1)

LONDON EYE ran well over hurdles last month and might be up to landing this race for the second year in succession having dipped just below the mark he won off in 2021. Deluxe Music has a more consistent record than most of these and may provide the main threat. Zuckerberg arrives fit from jumping and has been given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere so he's also on the shortlist.
