Rubbing Shoulders (5/4), Handy Hollow (3/1), Lafterlands (9/2), Vino's Choice (6/1), Strong Team (8/1), Solway Lark (16/1), Farocco (20/1), Shesthebusiness (33/1), Kennedys Field (66/1)

Best to concentrate on the usual yards who have a record of success in this sphere and with the champion on board, RUBBING SHOULDERS gets the vote. Gordon Elliott's mare is open to further improvement and an hopefully find enough to see off Handy Hollow, who looks her chief rival. Nicky Richards has an enviable record in bumpers, so despite his pedigree Lafterlands should be checked out in the market and Strong Team could also be in the shake-up for some prize money.
