Eliodam (13/8), Top Coeur (5/2), Chichester Park (3/1), Cooladdi (10/1), Drop A Threat (16/1), Bulgaden Castle (20/1), Its Time For A Run (25/1), Black Gem (33/1), Stay In The Game (40/1), Galavanting George (80/1), Supreme Axel (100/1), It Will Do Rightly (100/1), Down Your Way (150/1), Tellmemamema (150/1), Danny The Champ (150/1), Mistyburn (200/1)

Although ELIODAM failed to figure on his bumper debut the fact he went off at 4/1 in a valuable race suggests he'd been giving the right signals at home and he could prove a different proposition now hurdling. Chichester Park also failed to fire in a bumper last time but his hurdle debut prior to that had been promising and he's feared most ahead of Top Coeur.
