Madame La Papillon (13/8), Is This For Real (7/2), Alba Crus (4/1), Lyric (4/1), Freddie Steady Go (6/1), Rupert The Prince (13/2), Noble George (20/1), Walk On Son (33/1), Nevershedatear (40/1), Siege Of Acres (80/1), Karma De Cotte (200/1), Blazing Echo (400/1)
MADAME LA PAPILLON hasn't stood much racing but shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on hurdles debut at Wetherby and she could be the one to beat if arriving in similar form. Improving Is This For Real is a likely danger, while Alba Crus travelled well last time and may do better back down in trip. Of the rest, course bumper winner Freddie Steady Go warrants a market check on hurdles bow.
