Eaton Collina (2/1), What About Time (9/4), Optimise Prime (5/2), One For You (4/1), Lord Apparelli (13/2), Velasco (7/1), Glance From Clover (33/1), Cheng Gong (33/1), Chief Sittingbull (250/1)

This looks a competitive race of its type but there was plenty to like about OPTIMISE PRIME's hurdling debut success over this C&D last month, so he shades the vote over fellow penalised-winner What About Time. Eaton Collina and One For You also have the potential to get involved.
