Broadway Boy (85/40), Farmer's Gamble (7/2), Lady Kk (4/1), Just A Dime (11/2), The Bold Thady (12/1), Aimee De Sivola (12/1), Poldark Cross (22/1), Bobo Mac (28/1), Itacare (33/1), Samuel Jackson (40/1), Jepeck (40/1)

Having finished runner-up on his first couple of outings, BROADWAY BOY went one better on handicap debut at Aintree early in December and with that form receiving a boost from the second since, Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge gets the vote. Lady KK has hit the crossbar on both starts this season here over fences so she may emerge as the main danger back over hurdles, with Aimee de Sivola and Just A Dime another couple to consider.
