Francky Du Berlais (9/4), Asylo (4/1), Blairs Cove (4/1), Tales Of The Tweed (11/2), Mellow Ben (11/2), Heydour (6/1), Tidal Watch (10/1), Midnight Maestro (10/1), Ballycrystal Court (16/1)

If the stable of Tidal Watch had been in better form then he would have been an interesting contender on his chase debut. In light of that the nod goes to HEYDOUR who has two decent chase runs under his belt and deserves to get his head in front after two placed efforts. Best of the rest could be Blairs Cove sporting first-time cheekpieces. A reproduction of his penultimate run at Stratford should see him running the selection close.
