Sao (8/11), Embole (5/2), Pyrios (7/1), Zamparelli (8/1), Passam (14/1), Midnight Midge (20/1), Sparky's Spirit (33/1), Indigo Stamp (150/1), Moynihans Girl (150/1)
The form that SAO showed in France looks likely to be enough to take this contest and he can make his first start for trainer Paul Nicholls a winning one. Embole has had a wind operation since his most recent outing but ran well on his first hurdling debut at Newcastle and is taken to claim second ahead of Pyrios who looks capable of putting a fall last time out behind him by claiming third.
