Pinot Rouge (1/1), Sea God (2/1), Magical Hill (3/1), Tigga Time (4/1), Split The Bill (9/2), Killybegs Jet Lady (14/1), Telemetry (18/1), Disco Annie (25/1), Blue Plan (28/1), Major Champion (66/1), Para Handy (66/1), Looking Splendid (80/1), Rock N Roll Champ (150/1), Beechmount (300/1)

Having excelled herself when fourth in the Grade 1 Sefton, for all that wasn't a vintage renewal, PINOT ROUGE really should make no mistake back in a novice. Sea God should have more to offer now hurdling for Lucinda Russell, with Magical Hill likely to give it a good go under a penalty.
