Tommy Silver (10/3), Song Light (7/2), Maestro Royal (5/1), Caid Du Lin (11/2), Excellent Team (6/1), Hint Of Mint (7/1), Regulation (10/1), Bleu Et Noir (10/1), Templier (16/1), Rossetti (16/1), Remiluc (33/1)

Plenty of these like to get on with it early and a solid pace seems assured. With that, it's worth giving SONG LIGHT a go to gain some compensation for some excellent efforts in races like the Betfair Hurdle and Greatwood Hurdle. This looks a bit easier and it's not hard to see him throwing down a challenge after travelling well at the rear for most of the race. Maestro Royal is another for whom they can't go quick enough and this progressive sort can go well again. Caid Du Lin, Tommy Silver and, at a bigger price, Regulation are others to consider.
