Gortroe Joe (5/4), Lungarno Palace (4/1), Javert (9/2), Hidden Glen (6/1), Mahlermade (15/2), Ballygown Bay (10/1), Midnight Trouble (20/1), Peur De Rien (20/1), Kloud Gate (33/1), March Is On (40/1), Ruggiero (50/1), Tennewrow (50/1), General Picton (66/1)

Quite a mixed bag here and there are a few that will be better off in handicaps with GORTROE JOE looking to be the best of them with this trip looking to suit this strong travelling sort ideally. Lugarno Palace might find life tough under a penalty again but Hidden Glen has to be considered on his hurdles debut having shown some decent bumper form. Ballygown Bay needs to bounce back after a break having run below-par when tried in a handicap but Peur De Rien is interesting on his encouraging effort last time out.
