Arizona Cardinal (13/8), Pipesmoker (4/1), Le Chiffre D'or (5/1), Mumbo Jumbo (6/1), Ted's Friend (7/1), Latitude (10/1), Surrey Quest (11/1), Idols's Eye (25/1), Luke (33/1), Ailes D'amour (50/1), Dreams Of Gold (300/1), C'Mon Sharpy (400/1)

Quite a deep-looking novice hurdle on paper, with ARIZONA CARDINAL looking the way to go. He made a very promising start over hurdles in a well-run Warwick event 3 weeks ago and looks sure to build on that. Penalised-winners Le Chiffre d'Or and Ted's Friend are among the chief dangers.
