Superbolt (15/8), Bashful (3/1), Cancan (5/1), Restandbethankful (6/1), Malbas (6/1), Langton Wold (10/1), Can't Stop Now (12/1), Lively Citizen (18/1), Astrophysicist (28/1), Bix Beiderbecke (40/1), Don't Look Back (100/1)

It's unlikely BASHFUL will match his fairly useful Flat form in this sphere, but he still has plenty of room for manoeuvre from a modest hurdling mark and is fancied to take advantage. Langton Wold and Restandbethankful head the dangers.
