Ted The Thief (11/8), Edgewell (8/1), Daring Plan (9/1), Steal The Moves (9/1), Faitque De L'Isle (10/1), Bataillon (12/1), Holkham Hall (12/1), Watchoutitscookie (12/1), Lough Owel (12/1), Staff Sergeant Len (12/1), School For Scandal (22/1), Sweet Nightingale (25/1), Break Heart Hill (33/1), Zacony Rebel (40/1), Alderley Charlie (40/1)

TED THE THIEF has proved himself a much better chaser than hurdler in recent months and remains with few miles on the clock. He makes fair appeal. Faitque de L'Isle and Daring Plan can also make their presence felt.
