Hell Red (4/11), Blumen Glory (3/1), Pol Crocan (17/2), Doyen Queen (18/1), Earl Of Wisdom (50/1), Fanfan La Colmine (50/1), Captain Ivan (50/1), Feu Des Malberaux (50/1), Getaway Cory (100/1), Bees And Honey (150/1), Mr P (200/1), King Orry (200/1), Travelling Max (200/1), D'edge Of Glory (200/1)

HELL RED had a valid excuse for such a poor showing at Cheltenham in November and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get back on track following a break/wind operation. Pol Crocan is burdened with a penalty for winning a really weak affair over C&D in December, so Blumen Glory is second choice.
