Highway One O Two (8/11), Katahdin (2/1), Morning Spirit (5/1), White Chocolate (14/1), Isle of Wolves (16/1), Bigunonthebalcony (20/1), Lisronagh Stone (20/1), Air Hair Lair (50/1), Don't Tell Kate (100/1), Maid Of Camelot (200/1)

Although saddled with a 6lb penalty this looks a fine opportunity for C&D scorer HIGHWAY ONE O TWO to follow up having won by 19L first time over obstacles. All of his rivals will need to make major improvement to live with him if he arrives in the same vein of form but two who appeal as potential improvers are Katahdin and Bigunonthebalcony.
