Robin Des Mana (7/4), Monbeg Chit Chat (2/1), West Bridge (10/1), Lilshane (10/1), Steamboat Quay (12/1), Blue Empyrean (14/1), Carlitos Bay (14/1), Kiera Royale (16/1), Mindsmadeup (16/1), Oh Me Oh My (16/1)

The market should tell us if West Bridge is ready to make a winning start to her chasing career. She has the pick of the hurdling form but may want further than this. Monbeg Chit Chat was an expensive failure last time when there were legitimate excuses. Losses may be recovered here but he faces a tough rival in ROBIN DES MANA. Gordon Elliott's runner put in a bold effort last time when setting testing fractions that found out all but the eventual winner. There is nothing of that winner's calibre in this and he is taken to go one better.
