Ballybentragh (6/4), The Newest One (16/5), Classic King (9/2), Risk De Pluie (11/2), Huffin An A Puffin (10/1), Dairylane Daisy (28/1), Village Master (40/1), Move With The Beat (50/1)

THE NEWEST ONE holds a clear edge on form and with his sights lowered after a very good third in Doncaster's River Don Hurdle he is fancied to resume winning ways. Classic King should ensure Nigel Twiston-Davies' fairly useful sort doesn't have things all his own way though, with in-form pair Ballybentragh and Risk de Pluie both also worthy of consideration.
