Maria's Benefit (5/4), Al Shahir (11/8), Dentley De Mee (12/1), Darling Maltaix (12/1), Rockpoint (20/1), Pointed And Sharp (20/1)

An interesting opener on a good card and this looks as though this is a race that will produce future winners. Only one of the field has any hurdling experience though and Maria’s Benefit may be able to make use of that although she is bred to get further than this. Darling Maltaix and Rockpoint both come from stables that need respecting in this sphere although both look as though they may need more experience yet. AL SHAHIR took three attempts to get off the mark in bumpers but he was impressive when he did and hails from a yard that have made a good impression in the first few months of the jumps season.
