Morosini (9/4), Guard Of Honour (5/1), Snugsborough Hall (6/1), Rocky's Silver (6/1), Momus (7/1), Oh'herewego (7/1), Hareth (8/1), The Gatechecker (12/1), Flaxen Flare (20/1), Campeador (20/1), Dont Kick Nor Bite (25/1)

The Martaline gelding MOROSINI has been producing a number of gallant efforts over hurdles since May and the Jessica Harrington-trained five-year-old can once again visit the winners enclosure in a tricky looking contest. One of four in the race for owner J P McManus the second of nine over C&D in November can get the better of Snugsborough Hall and Oh'herewego. Guard Of Honour representing a yard who have a 71% win and place strike rate at this meeting since 2017 hitting the frame on five occasions from seven starters appears capable of hitting the frame along with the Robert Tyner-trained Don't Kick Nor Bite.
