King Alexander (4/9), Champagne Jury (4/1), Da Capo Glory (13/2), Ballybow (17/2), Mr Escobar (14/1), Yoradreamer (40/1), L'amiral Fromentin (250/1), Mistyburn (250/1)

With the switch to fences expected to spark improvement in CHAMPAGNE JURY, the 7-y-o is taken to make a winning debut in this sphere on the back of last month's hurdles success at Galway. Four-time hurdles winner King Alexander has gone close both starts since switched to fences and, with the promise of better to come from him as a chaser, he is greatly respected. Da Capo Glory is third choice.
