Le Questionnaire (11/4), Jerry From Kerry (3/1), Glenary Prince (3/1), Will Wilde (11/2), Captain Hanley (7/1), C Pas Possible (11/1), Les Issards (28/1), Ajp Falco (40/1), Talladega (66/1), Little Big John (100/1), Maison De Balzac (125/1), Raleagh Scope (250/1)

Preference is for CAPTAIN HANLEY, who matched his fair form on the Flat when runner-up at Clonmel on his hurdling debut last month. He is taken to build on that promise at the second attempt and can see off the challenge of Le Questionnaire, who promises to be suited by this extra distance, with Jerry From Kerry also considered.
