I Can't Explain (11/8), Zanza (5/1), Baddesley Knight (11/2), Phoenix Way (8/1), Jammy George (8/1), Greaneteen (10/1), Hold The Note (16/1), Gleno (50/1), Cracker Jak (50/1), Chain Smoker (100/1)

An intriguing opener and the market should prove informative with a pair of expensive purchases coming here off an absence. BADDESLEY KNIGHT is a tentative selection to build on his Newbury debut over hurdles though this looks a stronger contest. Hold The Note shaped well in both starts in bumper's and won on heavy ground on debut which will be a plus on the hurdles track today.
