Viva Lavilla (11/10), Rafferty's Return (15/8), Abuffalosoldier (5/1), The Player Queen (10/1), Autonomous Cloud (14/1), Burrow Seven (16/1), Poetria (16/1), Follow Your Arrow (40/1), Glebe Road (80/1), Beat The Edge (150/1), Baghdad Central (150/1), Sir Jim (200/1), Pileup (200/1), Johnson's Blue (300/1)

VIVA LAVILLA has acquitted himself well in a couple of Grade 2s since making a winning hurdle bow at Lingfield and can resume winning ways back down in class. Abuffalosoldier showed a good attitude when following up his bumper win in a novice hurdle at Wincanton and rates the main threat, ahead of fellow penalised-winners Rafferty's Return and The Player Queen.
