Mount Rushmoore (2/1), Blu Cavalier (5/2), Champagne Champ (5/1), Snuff Box (7/1), Garran City (10/1), Cotswold Way (12/1), Gnarly (16/1), Costante Via (25/1), U No Like (33/1), Belle's Theatre (33/1), Kings Monarch (50/1), Monthyne (50/1), Boola River (50/1), Ballymagroarty Boy (100/1), Amerton Lane (100/1), Let's Sway (100/1)

Not many of these have shown enough to prove competitive in a big-field maiden hurdle but MOUNT RUSHMORE definitely has. A point-to-point winner who has placed both in a bumper and a maiden hurdle he should be suited by this step up in trip and has shown he handles give underfoot. He shaped as if he should improve for the run at Exeter last time and could be the one to side with here. Multiple Flat winner Champagne Champ and recent C&D runner-up Snuff Box are others of interest.
