Yanworth (9/4), Cole Harden (4/1), Supasundae (5/1), The New One (6/1), Ballyoptic (7/1), Snow Falcon (9/1), Ptit Zig (14/1), Different Gravey (16/1), Taquin Du Seuil (20/1), Aux Ptits Soins (20/1), Three Musketeers (25/1), Puffin Billy (33/1)
Plenty of options in this and with Cole Harden in the field we should get a decent gallop and he will appreciate the drying conditions after getting slightly bogged down on watered ground at Cheltenham. He’s capable of gaining another placing but will be there to be shot at throughout the race and may not quite have the zip to hold on. Yanworth is a fascinating contender stepping up in trip to 3m for the first time and it should suit him but he has looked a little quirky of late and he’s not one to be taking too short a price about. Both Ballyoptic and Snow Falcon will have to reverse Stayers Hurdle form with Cole Harden and it could well be the Coral Cup form that holds the key to this. SUPASUNDAE looked to be a real improver in that race beating Taquin Du Seuil more easily than the winning distance suggests and on the same terms he could well build on that and it should be remembered that his bumper form was well up to winning in this grade.
