Tokaramore (6/4), Mary Eleanor (13/8), Katy Royal (3/1), Cheenys Venture (20/1), Millrose Bell (25/1), Kilcullen Lady (50/1), Clovelly (100/1), Once An Angel (100/1), Avondhu Pearl (100/1), Sybil Grey (200/1)

Good ground will be ideal for the dual bumper winner Tokaramore on her hurdles debut, but she does have a 12 month absence to overcome. Both Katy Royal and Millrose Bell have shown some signs of ability over hurdles, with the former holding more experience, and having an altogether more solid feel. However, it is Tom Lacey who holds all of the aces with MARY ELEANOUR as he seeks to improve upon his impressive Newcastle career statistics. She posted a respectable seasonal reappearance in a Carlisle bumper last month, and assuming she stays this longer trip (likely) has been found the ideal introduction to life over hurdles.
