Ask Me Early (9/4), St Barts (9/4), Thomas Macdonagh (16/5), Burrows Park (9/2), Good And Hardy (6/1), Lord Napier (7/1), Lies About Milan (15/2), Jammy George (10/1), Small Farm (66/1)

A few of these young chasers have potential but ST BARTS is very hard to side against after shaping really well when runner-up on his chasing bow at Exeter and he's weighted to go in raised just 3 lb. Thomas Macdonagh made a pleasing start over fences when not fully wound up at Stratford on his return so is feared most, although a big step forward from Burrows Park is not ruled out either.
