Swallows Song (6/4), Chance The Robin (85/40), Grand Du Nord (9/2), Gege Ville (5/1), Court Case (10/1), Now Go Soldier Go (12/1), Strike Of Lighting (50/1), Third Avenue (250/1), Parelli Power (300/1), Intofocus (300/1)

Bumper winner CHANCE THE ROBIN already has experience over obstacles and, upped markedly in trip for his hurdling debut, he looks the one to beat. Swallows Song looks the main threat ahead of Grand du Nord, who ran with credit at Wetherby in April.
