Felix Desjy (4/6), Macgiloney (13/8), Vinnie The Hoddie (15/8), Roseriver Has (11/4), Bennaway (12/1), Whydah (20/1), Tidal River (33/1), Liberadio (33/1)

Verdict

FELIX DESJY won two bumpers last year and acquitted himself well at the spring festivals. His best work was always likely to come once meeting obstacles and he can make a winning start to his discipline for Gigginstown and a red-hot trainer. Vinnie The Hoddie has run well enough in one hurdles start and can claim minor money, while Macgiloney is also deemed likely to be winning one of these before long.
  1. Felix Desjy
