Niceandeasy (5/2), Three Star General (9/2), Destined To Shine (9/2), Saint Freule (6/1), Jabulani (13/2), Culmination (15/2), Cloudy Glen (8/1), Richard Strauss (20/1), Passam (22/1), Ruacana (25/1), My Liege (25/1), Captain Hox (100/1)

JABULANI failed to build on his lone win to date last term over hurdles and this season over fences but his tumbling mark surely now makes him competitive and he is down in class quite dramatically compared to his later hurdle races so he is worth chancing in a tough contest. Saint Freule looked an improved sort latest so rates the biggest danger. Cloudy Glen appeals as one likely to improve this season and he is also shortlisted.
