Zuba (5/4), Burgundy Man (11/4), Jalwan (7/2), Man Of The Sea (6/1), Decora (8/1), Cheat (10/1), Taylors Three Rock (50/1), Westtara (50/1), Delta River (150/1), Lambristo (200/1)

The vote goes to ZUBA, who cofirmed an aptitide for hurdling when fourth at Warwick last month and has since run well back on the Flat. Burgundy Man offered little on completed start for this yard at Ascot but this is much less demanding, while Cheat is also worth a look making his hurdling debut for an in-form yard.
