Westerninthepark (8/13), Imac Wood (5/1), Innisfree Lass (6/1), William Cody (6/1), Clondaw Royale (6/1), Petticoat Lucy (13/2), Belargus (16/1), As Tears Go By (40/1)

While it's tempting to side with those with experience over fences, if WESTERNINTHEPARK and Innisfree Lass take well to the larger obstacles at the first time of asking they could emerge as the chief protagonists. Preference is for the former, who acquitted himself well in a valuable novices' handicap hurdle at Sandown on his final run of last season and he brings a good deal of potential to the table. Imac Wood has race-fitness on his side and is best of the rest.
