Knickerbockerglory (2/5), Hidor De Bersy (9/4), Glen Again (6/1), Zucayan (8/1), Reams Of Love (33/1), Danita (33/1), Bashful (66/1), Tika Moon (80/1), Glance At Me (100/1), Bravethewaves (125/1), Regal Pretender (200/1), Mac Be Lucky (200/1)

This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between HIDOR DE BERSY and Knickerbockerglory. The latter is strongly respected having finished a respectable third behind a very useful and progressive novice at Wincanton last time, but Hidor de Bersy impressed with his slick jumping when landing the odds at Fakenham and he is preferred. Zucayan and Flat recruit Glen Again are each-way contenders.
