Charme De Faust (5/6), Ismahane (2/1), Dawn Coming (6/1), Mode Avion (7/1), Beauvallon (12/1), Michonne (12/1), Thelittlevillager (50/1), Annie's Angel (66/1), Blue Train (66/1), O'grady Cracker (100/1), Dream Angel (150/1), Concert Party (150/1), Padre Bay (150/1), Crest Of Light (200/1), John Dixen (250/1)

CHARME DE FAUST finished second on her Auteuil debut in September and is probably the one to beat having joined Willie Mullins, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Ismahane's Flat form in Europe suggests he could be a big threat if taking to this new discipline. Dawn Coming has made a solid start to his hurdle career and may prove best of the remainder.
