Zacony Rebel (1/3), High Tech (4/1), Tikitov (7/1), Alternative Fact (18/1), Sweet Spirit (33/1), Fine By Me (40/1), Kobra (50/1), Volatore (66/1), Olympe De Gouges (80/1), Cheeky Ricco (100/1), Outback Frontiers (150/1), Regal Pretender (150/1)

In what doesn't look the strongest novice ZACONY REBEL may be up to defying a penalty. The main threat may come from hurdle newcomers High Tech, who won twice on the Flat in France, and Tikitov, who shaped quite nicely in a bumper at Southwell in November.
