Premier Magic (8/15), I'm Wiser Now (3/1), No Limitations (14/1), Gottagottagetaway (14/1), Boss Baby (16/1), Caviar D'Allen (25/1), Staple Head (33/1), Idee De Garde (33/1), Top Garry (50/1), Earcomesbob (50/1), Jackie Daniels (80/1), Buffalo Sabre (100/1), Cydercourt (100/1), Vic The Vandal (100/1), Cave Queen (125/1)

PREMIER MAGIC easily accounted for Wishing And Hoping in a point last time and is fancied to make a winning Rules debut for a stable that had a winner at Catterick earlier in the week. No Limitations, another multiple winner between the flags, could lay down a strong challenge, while I'm Wiser Now can't be dismissed given his fair hurdling form.
