Love Me Tender (30/100), Power Of Words (7/2), Guided By You (14/1), Oneinthewell (16/1), Riverwoods (18/1), Chantilly Wings (25/1), Blue Waters (25/1), King Bob (33/1), Wizzleout (33/1), Black Gem (50/1), Howayahoney (80/1), Hungry Henry (80/1), Clever Court (80/1), Build A Bridge (100/1), Little Boy Sivola (100/1), Mind Your Few Bob (125/1), Buttermere Ridge (150/1)

LOVE ME TENDER looked a good prospect when making a winning start to his career in a Tramore bumper at the end of May and, provided his jumping passes the test now tackling hurdles, he will take plenty of stopping. Power of Words looks sure to pick up a race sooner rather than later having failed just one too good the last twice, and hs gets the nod ahead of Guided By You for forecast purposes.
