Stooshie (6/4), Don't Touch It (15/8), Eight Till Late (7/2), Hidden Cyclone (7/1)
With Hidden Cyclone absent since running below form in this race a year ago, it's perhaps best to rely on DON'T TOUCH IT, for all he disappointed in a Grade 2 Chase at Gowran last time. Stooshie has something to find, but is going the right way, and is likely to give his running, so can't be ignored.
