Royal Way (10/11), Swift Hawk (5/2), Orchestra (3/1), Ithaca's Arrow (11/2), Palio (13/2), Latin Verse (10/1), Glorious Lion (20/1), Karakoy (20/1), St Just In Time (50/1), Sindri (50/1), Fayasel (100/1), Seahouses (125/1), Albert Park (150/1), Savigny (150/1)

A few in with a squeak but having been a commanding winner over C&D last month, ROYAL WAY is selected to build on that and continue his fine start over hurdles. Swift Hawk left the impression that there's plenty more to come when accounting for Orchestra at Taunton last month, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Palio and Latin Verse (who won on his only previous start when trained by Syd Hosie) rounding off the shortlist.
