Classic Lord (11/10), Sheishybrid (16/5), Burren Song (4/1), Prince Of Verona (5/1), Lihyan (17/2), Astrophysicist (10/1), Modestus (22/1), Moyvilla Lass (25/1), Doyen Ta Win (33/1), Pride Of Mr E (33/1), Can't Stop Smiling (33/1), Celtic Scraks (40/1), Lenebane (50/1), Aintnodoubtaboutit (50/1), Erin's Storm (100/1), Rajjnatin (125/1), Dark Matter (150/1), Mont De Pail (150/1), Paperman (200/1), Word Of Wisdom (200/1), Luck Of The Irish (200/1)

CLASSIC LORD was useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding and, having been picked up by top connections for a large sum since last seen 9 months ago, he's worth chancing to make a successful start in a very winnable maiden hurdle. Sheishybrid is another interesting recruit from the level and Burren Song is the pick of those with hurdling experience.
