The Black Squirrel (5/2), Broom Tip (11/4), Jurby (3/1), Desque De L'Isle (5/1), Itsnonofurbusiness (7/1), Shanroe Saint (11/1), Dr Des (14/1), Samson's Reach (20/1), Arctic Chief (33/1), Heath King (33/1)

DESQUE DE L'ISLE boasts some good form in France and he can make a winning debut for Venetia Williams in this maiden hurdle contest. The selection is making his first appearance in over a year but should be fit and can get the better of Jurby who returns from a long lay-off but showed a decent level of form in bumper company while Shanroe Saint, placed in a point-to-point earlier this year can claim third.
