Shewearsthewellies (7/2), Delgany Bobby Blue (4/1), Paddy O'Mahler (4/1), Perculator (13/2), Sprucefrontiers (7/1), Stratton Oakmont (9/1), Knacker Trapper (12/1), Drop Flight (22/1), Dark Duomo (28/1), Moro Rock (33/1), Line In The Sand (33/1)

The vote goes to PADDY O'MAHLER, who showed plenty in bumpers and can be expected to step up on his form in novice hurdles now faced with a stiffer test and switched to handicap company. Fellow handicap debutant Sprucefrontiers remains of interest, despite failing to build on his Rules debut promise when a well-held fourth at Chepstow, and the progressive Shewearsthewellies is also accorded respect. Delgany Bobby Blue is open to improvement and he is another for the shortlist.
