St Gallen (3/1), Carntop (7/2), Dino Velvet (4/1), Scorched Earth (6/1), Gateway To Europe (15/2), Empreinte Reconce (10/1), Vision Clear (10/1), See The Sea (16/1), Wells De Lune (18/1), Extreme Force (22/1), Beeno (50/1), Authorizo (100/1)

Plenty of those declared should prove capable of winning further races, with the likes of Scorched Earth (Dan Skelton) and Vision Clear (Gary Moore) at the forefront of mind. However, this race will be fiercely contested from the outset, with proven front-runners known to include the Cartmel specialists Wells De Lune and Beeno, in addition to Gateway To Europe and See The Sea. Both Dino Velvet (Scottish Champion Hurdle second) and Extreme Force are undoubtedly worthy of their place towards the top of the market, but after a pleasing comeback from wind surgery on the AW at Kempton, the lowly-weighted ST GALLEN could be the answer.
