Sao Maxence (4/9), Fearless (11/8), Diodorus (9/2), No Regrets (7/1), Fazayte (10/1), Spirit Of Waterloo (12/1), Yorvik (22/1), Cool Country (22/1), Special Brute (33/1), Fabrication (66/1), Elite Icon (80/1), Elusive Red (125/1)

FEARLESS is a bumper winner who was third on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen. He can build upon that here to record his first success over hurdles. Sao Maxence has done little wrong in his three racecourse appearances to date and should once again be in the mix on this latest appearance, while Diodorus was a winner on the AW on the Flat and looks capable of being in the mix on his hurdles debut.
