Balko D'ange (5/4), Kazakh D'arthel (7/2), Love Me (4/1), Mount Mandela (6/1), Miss Maxfort (16/1), Kaikoura (20/1), Let Him B (25/1), Morning Nightcap (25/1), Lightup Lightup (33/1), Sylvia's Secret (33/1), Gather Yourself (50/1), Don'tletmego (80/1), Mister Persistence (100/1), Haughty (100/1), Ardera Gun (125/1), Kingkong Ciergues (125/1), Zentopia (200/1)

French import KAZAKH D'ARTHEL made a promising start over hurdles when going close at Listowel and, with improvement on the cards, he is taken to go one better here. Balko d'Ange has failed to reproduce the form of his hurdles debut second at Navan in a couple of bumpers since but will be a big threat if able to get back on track returned to this sphere, Lightup Lightup has improved with each of his three starts in bumpers and makes each-way appeal, along with Mount Mandela.
