Bhaloo (5/6), Parade Away (11/4), Dancing In Brazil (13/2), Montecam (15/2), Banteer (10/1), Casual Observer (12/1), Ronnies Reflection (33/1), Champetre (33/1), Luke The Drifter (100/1), Garitsa Bay (125/1), Nothinelsematters (150/1), Braunton Burrows (150/1), Warrior's Fate (200/1)

A few with potential but BHALOO looked a sure-fire future winner when third on his hurdling bow at Kempton so Nicky Henderson's 5-y-o gets the vote here. Alan King's Dancing In Brazil appeals as the one to chase him home now his stamina is drawn out more, although both Parade Away and Banteer warrant respect too.
