Song Of Namibia (6/5), Ayr Of Elegance (10/3), Deburrafield (7/2), So Enjoy (6/1), City Limits (8/1), Brokopondo (28/1), Willwams (66/1)

The Gordon Elliott-trained, SONG OF NAMIBIA can get off the mark for connections over hurdles at the fourth time of asking. Useful on the Flat for trainer Ger Lyons, the Eight-year-old can land the spoils ahead of the consistent, Deburrafield for the Champion hurdle winning yard of Gavin Cromwell. It would come as no surprise to see the Henry De Bromhead-trained, Ayr Of Elegance improve once again, while So Enjoy could take advantage should any of the main protagonists falter.
