Themanintheanorak (3/1), Grimaud (4/1), Krabat (11/2), Jacovec Cavern (13/2), The King Of Prs (17/2), Laxxio (17/2), Grandero Bello (9/1), Dancing Jeremy (10/1), Quest With Speed (11/1), Miss Corby (20/1), Must Go Now (20/1), Teed Up (28/1), Whatsavailable (33/1), Brideswell Lad (50/1), Ossifer Hops (125/1)

The vote goes to THEMANINTHEANORAK, who improved when deservedly opening his hurdles account at Fairyhouse recently and this 7 lb higher mark looks manageable. Laxxio has shown enough in a trio of maiden hurdles to suggest that he can get competitive off this mark now handicapping. He is feared most ahead of The King Of Prs, while Grimaud is also shortlisted.
