Sevarano (30/100), Melchior King (5/1), Saint De Vassy (7/1), Oscar Maguire (12/1), Fair Kate (16/1), Dessie's Diamond (25/1), Soraya (25/1), Three County's (33/1), Druide Premier (40/1), Looks Frozen (50/1), Our Boy (50/1), Bonbonniere (66/1), Cobra Commander (66/1), Avantgardist (100/1), Harry Haze (100/1), Dora's Field (100/1)

There probably isn’t as much strength in depth as the size of the field suggests and plenty of these will be looking towards handicaps over longer trips in the near future. SEVARANO has looked slightly unfortunate over hurdles so far and was mugged close home time although the winner showed the form to be useful by winning again. He had the slightly quirky looking Melchoir King behind that day and he’ll do well to reverse the form and it could well be down to the likes of Saint De Vassy (behind two useful sorts at Warwick) and Oscar Maguire to provide the main threat. Both Dessie’s Diamond and Three County’s will be worth looking out for in handicaps, the latter over staying trips.
