Almost Gotaway (4/1), Boom Boom (4/1), Samtara (5/1), Sambezi (11/2), Horn Cape (11/2), Cluain Aodha (7/1), Dr Sanderson (9/1), The Street (10/1), Way Out (12/1), Barrier Peaks (14/1), Highlander Casseul (25/1), Floating Rock (33/1)

Having shown fair form in bumpers, BOOM BOOM matched that level over hurdles when opening his account at Wincanton last month and the 5-y-o can follow up with further progress to come now handicapping. Samtara arrives in good form and is feared most back down in grade, while Horn Cape also merits consideration as he bids for a hat-trick.
