Steamboat Quay (13/8), Ben Rumson (9/2), Redmond Hall (8/1), Oath Breaker (10/1), Seaweed (12/1), Fenlon's Hill (12/1), Ask David (12/1), Mississippi John (14/1), Coldstonesober (16/1), Profoundly (20/1), Oromo (20/1), Key Account (20/1), Pretty Little Liar (25/1), Who's Cross (25/1), Alessian Order (25/1), Mollies Gent (25/1), Generous Guest (33/1)

It is not difficult to put a line through quite a few of these, but REDMOND HALL is not one of them. He looks a slow burner whose last run was his best and can step up again and go close in a modest handicap. Ben Runsom has been in good heart on the Flat and any sort of translation of that form to hurdles must give him strong claims, while Steamboat Quay has to be of interest on the assumption his tumble last time has not dented his confidence.
