Black Prince (5/2), Great Return (4/1), Ding Ding (5/1), Aumerle (7/1), Navajo Star (12/1), Spiritoftomintoul (14/1), Howardian Hills (14/1), Sea's Aria (16/1), Unblinking (20/1), Wintour Leap (20/1), Tommys Geal (25/1), Enola (33/1), Maid Of Tuscany (33/1), Grey Diamond (100/1)

A wide open finale in which recent hurdles form is plentiful, with the key contenders mixing obstacles with Flat racing. Black Prince is less exposed than most, and returns to synthetics just 3lb above his last winning mark following a decent hurdles debut at Wincanton. Sea's Aria debuts for Mark Hoad from a fair mark having seemingly lost his way in Ireland, whilst Maid Of Tuscany goes on the Flat for the first time since joining Neil Mulholland. Great Return should prove capable of making the frame, and looks a much more interesting proposition now with Warren Greatrex, but the selection is the Plumpton specialist DING DING. She looks a key player on the strength of her Lingfield AW effort last month, and more than likely will confirm placings with her old rival Wintour Leap tonight.
