Macho Man (13/8), Proactif (15/8), Munsif (9/2), Quinta Do Lago (15/2), Combs (11/1), In My Teens (28/1), It's Bobsled Time (66/1), Far Eclipse (400/1)

It'll be fascinating to see how the betting splits PROACTIF and Macho Man, who both start out for Willie Mullins on the back of debut wins at Auteuil in the autumn. Narrow preference is for the former before any betting clues are known. Munsif and Combs are others who could have a say in this interesting opener.
