Noble Birth (11/4), Verdant Place (3/1), Bleu D'enfer (9/2), Banjaxed (7/1), Undeniable Alibi (17/2), Enjoy The Dream (10/1), Spirit Of Legend (14/1), Lightkeeper (18/1), Ossifer Hops (33/1)

NOBLE BIRTH has shaped well on both outings for his new yard, including when third in a 3m handicap chase at Cork in October and, with the return to shorter than 3m looking a good move (no sluggard), he makes plenty of appeal. Bleu d'Enfer can make his presence felt back up in trip if keeping mistakes to a minimum, with Banjaxed and Enjoy The Dream others to consider.
