Eclair Surf (5/4), The Jitterbug (7/4), Young Buck (7/2), Getaround (16/1), Second Captain (28/1), Janeslittlevoice (100/1)
Young Buck makes his hurdles debut for Paul Nicholls after winning his only start in a point-to-point and he's bred to make a decent chaser in time (plenty of winners in the family) but it's slightly disconcerting to see the tongue tie on in what promises to be testing ground, and preference is for THE JITTERBUG, who looked every inch a stayer when scoring at Uttoxeter last time. He should enjoy conditions and despite having a penalty to carry, the experience will stand him in good stead and he can score again. Eclair Surf also has a penalty for his win here earlier in the season and cannot be ruled out.
