Crystal Island (1/1), Kings Champion (16/5), Home Made Hero (7/2), Rathkenny (7/1), Uptown Dandy (11/1), Fairye Forth (33/1), Dylans Moon (33/1), Axel Bleue (50/1), Cedar Creek (66/1), Malinaero (200/1), Pappariche (300/1), Yellow Card (300/1)

Several decent types on show here, headed by CRYSTAL ISLAND who looked a pretty useful prospect when scoring on his hurdles debut at Ascot. He is taken to get the better of another promising novice in Kings Champion, while Dylans Moon is interesting on the back of an encouraging debut at Uttoxeter and Rathkenny makes some each-way appeal.
