Queens Rock (10/11), Micronormous (11/4), Nell's Bells (9/2), Perculator (14/1), Visite Officielle (18/1), First Venture (33/1), Bowland Belle (40/1), Darsi's Darling (66/1)

QUEENS ROCK probably didn't beat a great deal on her Southwell hurdling debut last month but she possesses plenty of potential to improve, so gets the vote to defy a penalty with this longer trip likely to suit. Micronormous made an encouraging start in this sphere at Wincanton recently and rates the main threat ahead of Nell's Bells.
