Red Happy (8/11), Dan's Chosen (16/5), Getthepot (7/1), Gallow Ford (8/1), Hobie (14/1), Troed Y Melin (22/1), Scrumpy Boy (25/1), Fanzio (25/1)

Having dropped a long way in the weights, RED HAPPY returned to form when runner-up at Fontwell 6 days ago and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Scrumpy Boy was successful at Newton Abbot when last seen in July and is feared most on his stable debut, with Dan's Chosen the pick of the remainder.
