Giant Spirit (6/4), Great Khan (4/1), Border Control (7/1), Monatomic (8/1), Rough Night (12/1), Caveat Emptor (14/1), Pedro (14/1), Pallaskenry (20/1), Glenrua (20/1), Mohart (33/1), Southerner (33/1), Doyen Bay (33/1), Ballikanan (33/1), The Nosey Man (33/1), Kilcross Lad (33/1), Nonameyet (50/1)

GIANT SPIRIT should benefit from this drop in class having run well for a long way in a hotly contested staying handicap hurdle last time out. Assuming he has the pace at this minimum trip he should go very well. Great Khan looks a fair bet once again to reach a place, and Monatomic won't be too far away if putting in a clear round. Border Control cannot be ruled out, and while the rest are mainly dead wood there is some hope for both Rough Night and Caveat Emptor.
