Free Bounty (15/8), Ayr Of Elegance (5/2), Marshall Aid (3/1), Icebuster (7/2), Victoria Pollard (4/1), Wynford (13/2), Treble Strike (9/1), Winter Spice (16/1), Rocky Elsom (25/1)

The booking of Silvestre De Sousa looks like a shrewd move by the connections of FREE BOUNTY and it's possible he may eek out a little more improvement from the colt while Rocky Elsom is on a fair mark if he returns in a better mood than his latest hurdles outings. Marshall Aid has been knocking on the door of late and should be thereabouts despite still holding his maiden tag.
