Jumping Susie (4/1), Smiling Bess (4/1), Lodilomoco (9/2), Littlefoot (6/1), Mr Dibbs (6/1), Television (10/1), Circus Act (10/1), My Policy (14/1), Arcland (16/1), Snapius (22/1), Future Proof (22/1), Tic Tac Toe (33/1), Dakota Chief (40/1)

SMILING BESS did well to get up late on in a course maiden hurdle a fortnight ago and might be able to follow up on handicap debut. Jumping Susie and last-time-out Wexford scorer Future Proof rate obvious dangers, while Lightfoot could strip fitter for a recent comeback outing and is nicely treated on the pick of her maiden form.
