Masego (7/2), Lunar Landscape (9/2), Chesterbaylad (11/2), Convincing (6/1), Backinabit (6/1), Garrick Painter (11/1), Direct Approach (12/1), Avandra (12/1), Let It Settle (16/1), Surviving Murmansk (18/1), Crypto Crash (20/1), Paymelater (20/1), Codger's Rock (25/1), Tuckmill (50/1), Dictionary Corner (50/1), Turlough Abu (50/1), Zarushio (66/1), Owl's Delight (66/1)

Verdict

LET IT SETTLE had an excuse at Cork last time and might be worth chancing having returned to the same mark as when second to a next-time-out scorer there in July. Last-time-out Cork scorer Chesterbaylad heads the many dangers along with Lunar Landscape and Convincing. Direct Approach is an unexposed handicap newcomer from a top stable, while Masego tackles his first handicap hurdle on the back of a good spell on the Flat.
