John Barbour (5/6), At The Oche (10/3), Jaminska (7/2), Best Night (14/1), Lennie Godber (28/1), Dearkeithandkaty (28/1), Emaculate Soldier (40/1), Lewisham Grove (50/1), Drumstick (50/1), Meridian Way (100/1), Peace Motivator (150/1), Aceofadiamond (300/1)

JOHN BARBOUR finished out with the washing in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown on his final run of last season, but he looked pretty promising prior to that and is taken to get back on track by making a winning reappearance here. At The Oche, successful on the first of his two bumper starts last term, will be a threat if his jumping passes the test now sent hurdling, while Jaminska is clear third choice ahead of Best Night.
