Arvico Bleu (1/1), Monkshood (9/4), Iolani (9/2), Reelingintheyears (14/1), Flirting Lesa (25/1), Ktelama (25/1), Loughnavalley (50/1), Chrisandra (50/1), Lindas Pelder (100/1)

Iolani won't lack for support on debut for the Mullins team and must be greatly respected in this sphere but ARVICO BLEU may be able to put racecourse experience to best use. He's run well in big fields over hurdles and clearly has ability, with those runs behind him, he can make a winning start in bumpers. The other Gigginstown runner, Monkshood, is certainly not easily dismissed after also showing up well in two hurdles starts. Ktelama is one to watch in the betting after a layoff. 1. Arvico Bleu 2. Iolani 3. Monkshood
