Truckin Away (10/3), Down The Highway (10/3), My Way (4/1), Mercy Mercy Me (7/1), Darlac (8/1), Alsa Mix (12/1), Quoi De Neuf (12/1), Trio For Rio (14/1), Amateur (66/1), Another Go (200/1)

A quality novices' hurdle and a race which really serves to capture the imagination. The unbeaten Alsa Mix tries her hand against her male counterparts for the first time with her trainer having a strong overall record in this race. My Way is well-regarded at Ditcheat and unlikely to be troubled by the worsening ground conditions looks capable of being positively involved, whilst progress is almost guaranteed for the gritty Ffos Las maiden winner Truckin Away. However, the selection is DOWN THE HIGHWAY who created a striking impression when downing Mercy Mercy Me at Lingfield. Of the remainder Darlac is potentially vulnerable (ground).
