Grivetana (8/11), Mini Yeats (7/2), Callisto's King (15/2), Captain Claude (11/1), Farmer's Gamble (14/1), Universal Secret (14/1), Fairly Famous (22/1), Western Baron (50/1), Think For A Minit (50/1), Demothi (200/1)

This looks a good opportunity for GRIVETANA, who ran out a 12-length winner of a French juvenile hurdle in December and should have more to come now in the care of Paul Nicholls. Callisto's King will surely improve following a considerate ride at Doncaster and can give the selection most to think about.
