Chirico Vallis (4/5), Lachares (6/4), Mickey Flanagan (12/1), Swordfight (14/1), Beginningtogetup (20/1), Great Trango (33/1), Charms Bracelet (33/1), Alaliya (66/1), Auntie's Nephew (66/1), Moanbaun Maestro (66/1), Class Honours (66/1), Urban Star (100/1), The Last Indian (100/1), Forbetterorworse (100/1)

CHIRICO VALLIS can gain a belated first hurdling success here following three decent placed efforts. The selection looks to have a few pounds in hand on chief rival Lachares who holds a number of these on the form of his second at Gowran Park last month while the filly Charms Bracelet showed signs of ability on her hurdling debut and can put a heavy defeat last time out behind her by claiming third.
