Island Bridge (5/6), Kicour La (13/8), Arcadian Star (7/1), Our Bobby Dazzler (33/1), Jaja Jimmy (40/1), This Sway (200/1)
This looks a match on paper between ISLAND BRIDGE and Kicour La, with preference for the former having produced a promising first effort over hurdles when fourth in a Cheltenham novice just over 3 weeks ago. Ben Pauling has his string in decent nick, so it would be no surprise should his Irish point runner-up give the selection plenty to think about on Rules bow.
