Dans Le Vent (13/8), Hatcher (7/4), New Agenda (5/2), Hidden Oasis (18/1), Pivotal Flame (50/1), Arctic Chief (50/1), The Salmon Man (50/1), Smooth Operator (66/1), Notnowdear (80/1), Breaking Ground (100/1), Desi Daru (100/1), Tayaar (100/1)

Verdict

Both Hatcher and previous hurdles winner New Agenda have the fitness edge over the returning dual bumper scorer DANS LE VENT. However, the Jamie Snowden trained £40,000 purchase boasts the strongest form in bumpers (Cheltenham Champion Bumper sixth), and looks a fascinating recruit to hurdles. The combination of a Flat track and decent ground holds no fears, and he is the most obvious pick in a race in which very few of the others can be expected to play any sort of a significant role.
