Magic Dancer (10/3), Oxwich Bay (9/2), Counter Shy (6/1), Coeur Blimey (7/1), War On The Rocks (17/2), Or De Vassy (12/1), Banditry (14/1), Champagne City (20/1), Arty Campbell (20/1), Slanelough (20/1), Plato's Kode (20/1), Zalvados (25/1), Man Look (25/1), Canny Tom (33/1), Samson (50/1), Spiritual Man (50/1), Stuccodor (66/1), Pivotal Flame (80/1), Argent Knight (100/1)
Irish raider Canny Tom is of interest switched back to hurdles, but there are one or two in this who are not totally exposed, most notably Counter Shy, Or De Vassy, Slanelough and OXWICH BAY. The latter gets a narrow vote in the belief he is capable of better than he has shown, while others to consider are the three-year-old Plato's Kode, Monday's Kempton winner Magic Dancer, War On The Rocks, Coeur Blimey and Champagne City.
