Ree Okka (11/10), Complete Unknown (5/2), Last Royal (8/1), The Plimsoll Line (9/1), Kenyan Cowboy (12/1), T'Araison (14/1), Iberio (22/1), Pilgrims King (25/1), Concrete King (28/1), Ballycorr (40/1), Broadoak (40/1), Colonial Empire (80/1), Dancing Dani (100/1), Seventeen O Four (150/1), Tout Paris (250/1), Scealoghan (250/1)

REE OKKA posted an excellent first outing under Rules when second in a novice hurdle at Aintree and, with that form having been boosted numerous times since, he may well prove capable of going one better for all this strikes as another above-average event. Complete Unknown is a threat on the back of a solid start for Paul Nicholls and The Plimsoll Line isn't without a chance.
