Woodland Park (4/6), Jakar Du Moulin (9/2), A Moments Madness (6/1), Western Harmony (9/1), Je Viens Du Large (16/1), Les's Jersey Royal (16/1), Boston Boy (18/1), Scotch On Da Rocks (33/1), Camps Bay (50/1), Swift Jet (100/1), Alshadhian (150/1), Grenardier (250/1), Big Ange (250/1)

This should go the way of WOODLAND PARK, who lost no caste in defeat when going down narrowly on his hurdles debut at Carlisle and he seemingly has a bright future. Jakar du Moulin is an intriguing recruit for the Paul Nicholls yard and it will be interesting to see how this point winner shapes up in the betting, while A Moments Madness, who shaped well on debut in this sphere at Wetherby, and Western Harmony are others to consider.
