Joshua Des Flos (4/7), Myretown (6/1), Heart Above (11/1), Professor Klump (14/1), Supreme Authority (14/1), Skiddaw (14/1), Raynbo (16/1), Lucky Soldier (18/1), Tommy Combats (33/1), River Ayr (80/1), It's For You Mum (100/1), Captain Nelson (250/1), Golden Swift (250/1), Midnight Alnwicky (250/1)

Plenty of runners but it's hard to make out a case for many of them. We may not see the very best of JOSHUA DES FLOS until he goes back over further but he might still have too much for today's opposition. A market move for Lucinda Russell hurdle debutant Myretown, who hasn't been seen finishing fourth in a bumper 15 months ago, would make him a possible threat. Heart Above should be a lot better than he showed on his hurdle debut and completes the shortlist.
