Love Tree (4/6), Dameofthecotswolds (4/1), Hill Spirit (9/2), Kadiwo (20/1), Ravanelli (25/1), Speiriuil (40/1), Alduni's Girl (50/1), Catboy (66/1)

LOVE TREE and Dameofthecotswolds meet for the fourth time this season. The former took the score to 2-1 in her favour when comfortably seeing off her old rival on their respective C&D hurdle debuts 18 days ago and is taken to come out on top again. Gary Moore's well-bred newcomer Kadiwo could pose a big threat to both if the betting suggests he's fancied.
