West Coast Flyer (15/8), Ruthless Article (15/8), Yccs Portocervo (9/2), Right Destination (6/1), Marcel Debruxelles (16/1), Vincs Vinnie (25/1), Aweeminit (33/1), Rubensian (40/1), Mix Of Clover (50/1), Spinolo (100/1)

As newcomers to their respective trainers both Right Destination (Fergal O'Brien) and Aweeminit (Dan Skelton) merit a glance in the market, but those with winning hurdles form should come to the fore and this race probably rests between Yccs Portocervo, the six-time Flat winner West Coast Flyer and the Rebecca Curtis-trained RUTHLESS ARTICLE. The selection was a 5L Bangor winner on his penultimate start and found only the subsequent Stratford scorer Adjutant (pair clear) a neck too strong when bidding to defy his 6lb winners penalty.
