Hardline (1/3), Roaring Bull (11/8), Flemenstar (7/2), Sound Money (12/1), Cash In Mind (16/1), Trade Marked (33/1), Carrigeen Acebo (66/1)

An interesting contest where Gordon Elliott appears to hold the key and therefore the market may prove to be our best guide. However, in taking sides the suggestion is the unbeaten ROARING BULL to maintain that record after an impressive win on his hurdles debut last time. Stablemate Hardline has taken more time to get his nose in front, but he has some very solid form and should also be thereabouts. Flemenstar shouldn't really have to toe for this and certainly has it to prove over hurdles, but check out the market in case there is any significant confidence in the Grade 1 winner's chance. Sound Money looks next best.
