Hot To Go (6/5), Le Soleil Reve (10/3), Calvino (9/2), Havefunontherun (9/2), Grey Lagoon (11/1), Jackomy (14/1), Kapitein Kool (33/1), Madajovy (50/1), Idaho Bridge (66/1), Fight My Fire (125/1), El Arco (300/1)

The Taunton bumper in which CALVINO opened his account in April wasn't particularly strong, but he clearly possesses an engine and is bound to have been well-schooled ahead of this hurdles debut in a race that his top yard has won three times in the last four years. The promising Le Soleil Reve is second choice with his 4-y-o allowance a major bonus, while point recruit Hot To Go and Havefunontherun, who made a winning start in this sphere at Worcester, are others to consider.
