Lights Are Green (5/2), No Regrets (5/2), Uptown Harry (11/4), Storm Lorenzo (6/1), Along Long Story (8/1), Macavity (9/1), Hold The Note (11/1), Avoid De Master (12/1), Grange Ranger (12/1)

NO REGRETS got off the mark over fences last time and remains potentially well treated on his hurdles form, so is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of fellow last-time-out winner Uptown Harry. Lights Are Green is perhaps the unknown quantity having shown more promise on his chase debut here recently.
