Winter Fog (11/10), Mr Percy (5/4), Sioux Eagle (7/1), Good Time Jonny (12/1), Fad Eadrainn (20/1), Redwood Queen (20/1), Stormalong (28/1), Sherodan (50/1), Vadsa Queen (66/1), Hollow Spark (80/1), Albert Hirsch (125/1), Silas Marner (125/1), Make No Plans (125/1)

Smart hurdler WINTER FOG shaped like the best horse when second at Tramore on Flat debut and, with more to come, he's fancied to step up on that to get the better of Mr Percy, who shaped well at Galway a month ago. Stormalong is another one to consider having her first go in this sphere.
