Run For Oscar (5/2), Yeats Star (5/2), Lord Erskine (11/4), Busselton (6/1), Hms Seahorse (15/2), Custom Taylor (8/1), Brazil (28/1)
Having ended last year with several creditable displays under both codes, RUN FOR OSCAR shaped as if better for the run following 10 months off when fifth on the Flat at Killarney recently. He's entitled to be much sharper with that under his belt and shades the vote over Hms Seahorse who returns to hurdles following an early spill over fences last time. Busselton may emerge best of the rest.
