Heart Above (5/4), Two Auld Pals (15/2), Well Educated (15/2), Inca Prince (9/1), Rossbridge (10/1), Hourless (10/1), Magnolia (14/1), Benson (14/1), Bathgate (16/1), Star Of Guiting (22/1), Darkest Day (50/1)

HEART ABOVE has yet to finish out of the placings at this track and was better than ever when winning here last month. He can defy a career-high mark to follow up that victory, with Two Auld Pals feared most back on his latest winning mark over hurdles. Magnolia steadily improved last season and could feature if ready to roll on her reappearance.
