Celestial Path (5/4), Lord Fendale (13/2), Kiruna Peak (13/2), Vive Le Roi (7/1), Innocent Girl (7/1), Edward Elgar (8/1), Pension Madness (12/1), Duc Kauto (14/1), Greenworldsolution (14/1), Darloa (20/1), Diamond Reflection (33/1), Prairie Impulse (33/1), Benissimo (40/1)

Celestial Path holds obvious claims even with a penalty having done it nicely at Worcester last time out, but preference is for the four-year-old KIRUNA PEAK. She took a big step forward on handicap debut last time out, and though she's gone up 4lb in the weights she can only improve in handicap company, and is very likely to appreciate conditions. On her return to hurdles, Innocent Girl completes the shortlist.
