Kiwi Rush (4/5), Sherminator (5/2), First Candidate (7/2), Kado Sacree (16/1), Emerald Time (16/1), Joeybottles (16/1), Drakaris (80/1), Jessie's Giant (100/1), Lejo Du Seuil (125/1), Final Escape (125/1), Can U Feel It (150/1), Fanny Moon (250/1)

Verdict

Bumper winner KIWI RUSH has shaped with clear promise on both his hurdle starts to date, each in slightly stronger company than he tackles today, so he's an appealing candidate for an in-form stable. First Candidate and Sherminator look the other key players on form.

  1. KIWI RUSH (IRE)
  2. FIRST CANDIDATE
  3. SHERMINATOR (GER)
