Kiltealy Briggs (1/1), Itsnotyouitsme (4/1), All Hail Caesar (4/1), Theflickeringlight (7/1), Strengthofmind (7/1), Getaway Gerry (28/1), Crow Stone (50/1), Be One (66/1)

All Hail Caesar ran a solid race when third to a potentially useful winner (Thomas Macdonagh) in a C&D maiden hurdle 12 days ago and should build positively on that performance, while the rules newcomer Strengthofmind is also worthy of consideration for the Longsdon and Sheehan partnership. However, the standout form-based contender is the Jamie Snowden-trained KILTEALY BRIGGS. As aforementioned, Snowden's representative Thomas Macdonagh was a taking winner here at the previous meeting, and this Fame And Glory gelding sets the clear standard for the others to aim towards following a pleasing hurdles debut (caught close home) at Wincanton.
