Il Pino (13/8), Pentire Head (3/1), Lord Of Thunder (11/2), Idefix De Ciergues (6/1), Sparkling Duke (15/2), Rockwiththetimes (8/1), Ri Na Cuirte (10/1), Thirtyfour Thirty (22/1), Jail No Bail (40/1), Katopop (100/1)

IL PINO was successful on his sole outing in points and it looks significant Harry Cobden has chosen to ride him rather than his stablemate Pentire Head, who has shown a decent level of form in bumpers. Sparkling Duke has a good pedigree and should build on his opening effort over hurdles at Aintree, while winning-pointer Rockwiththetimes and Idefix de Ciergues add further spice to the race.
