King Alexander (7/4), Kilbarry Saint (6/1), Nouvotic (7/1), Conyers Hill (17/2), Dee Capo (9/1), Where's My Jet (12/1), Dreal Deal (14/1), Karia Des Blaises (16/1), Magic McColgan (18/1), Jesse Evans (20/1), Classic Getaway (20/1), Riaan (25/1), Midnight It Is (25/1), Down Memory Lane (25/1)

Preference is for KING ALEXANDER who was a very good fourth in the Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival and remains with scope for further progress after just 4 runs in this sphere. Nouvotic also looks to have more to offer and is next on the list back from a break. Dee Capo, Magic McColgan and Conyers Hill can all have a say too in this highly-competitive handicap.
