Yuften (1/2), Hasselnott (4/1), That Is The Spirit (8/1), Best Not Argue (10/1), Reckless Lad (10/1), Sharp Defence (16/1), Art Of Unity (20/1), Blue Whisper (66/1), Mr Shelby (66/1), Flojo (100/1), Fianchetto (100/1)

The 95-rated YUFTEN looks to be well ahead of his rivals here in the opening contest and can follow up his win here over 1m in November. Course winner Hasslenott and Best Not Argue on stable debut look more than capable of hitting the frame, while dual C&D winner Reckless Lad could interest each-way backers
