Lindy Reilly (7/4), Ilitch (9/4), Zafaan (7/2), Tarbat Ness (9/1), Berkshire Lad (11/1), Three Yorkshiremen (28/1), Mohawk Chief (40/1), Aughnagomaun (125/1), Kodi Red (125/1)

ZAFAAN very much exceeded expectations when third of 13 on his recent Southwell hurdles debut and, in an ordinary-looking maiden, a reproduction of that form could be enough to see him come out on top. Lindy Reilly disappointed on her Newbury handicap debut when last seen but had shown promise prior to that and is respected back in calmer waters, while Ilitch needs a market check now setting out over hurdles for a yard which has a fine record at this track.
