Can't Resist It (5/4), Ronnies Rules (11/8), Hard As Nails (4/1), Mutley Crew (25/1), Livy's Lad (25/1), Yourawizardharry (25/1), Timely Escape (100/1), Johnnie River (100/1), Thieving Gap (100/1), Skin Full (100/1), Chester Tonik (100/1)

Dan Skelton's RONNIES RULES has looked a good prospect in completing a hat-trick in bumpers this summer and is fancied to go in at the first time of asking now he starts his hurdling career. Fergal O'Brien's pair Can't Resist It and Hard As Nails rate much the biggest threats and can chase home the selection in that order.
