Kilbunny Pontic (13/8), Champagnesocialist (2/1), Bellatior (9/2), Dina Leen (9/2), Kelly's Birr (9/1), Mangan Sue (10/1), State Of Honor (14/1), The Forge Hill (25/1), The Mighty Doyen (100/1), Tick Tick Boom (100/1), Which Robin (125/1), Ladys Spirit (150/1), Gigantamax Eevee (200/1), Stradbally Village (200/1), Lovango (200/1)

BELLATIOR was far too free upped in class having made a winning bumper debut last autumn but she's in top hands and her pedigree is an ongoing recommendation. Sure to be well prepared for this, she looks the answer, with Kilbunny Pontic and Mangan Sue solid rivals with hurdles experience.
