Gilbertina (2/1), Trevada (9/2), Norley (5/1), Big Bad Bear (13/2), Give Me A Cuddle (15/2), Watergrange Jack (8/1), Zafar (8/1), Vintage Fizz (17/2), Keepyourdreamsbig (10/1)

An open race. The way that GILBERTINA saw things out at Market Rasen on Boxing Day suggests there could be a bit more to come over this slightly longer trip so she's selected to make light of a small rise. Watergrange Jack must be respected for a yard with a decent recent record in this race after his Boxing Day Wetherby second.
