Happy And Fine (11/8), Kepagge (4/1), Lord Of Kerak (9/2), Presenting Nelly (5/1), Conquredalofeurope (15/2)
A dual winner over hurdles last term, HAPPY AND FINE produced a promising first effort in this sphere when third at Wetherby 39 days ago, coping well with the demands of a well-run race against experienced rivals. Open to improvement, he can build on that effort with victory here. Lord of Kerak should be sharper for his Aintree reappearance and rates next best, ahead of Kepagge.
