Holryale (6/5), Lion Rouge (7/4), Cotton Club (7/2), Major Davis (7/1), Springbok Seia (14/1), Best To Come (20/1), Celtic Style (33/1), Royal Chieftain (50/1), Teals Lad (125/1)

Holryale sets the standard having gone close several times. Cotton Club is an interesting recruit to hurdling for a yard that do so well with his type. Celtic Style has the potential to do better but LION ROUGE shaped with loads of promise on hurdling debut and can take this on route to better things now tackling this longer trip.
