Talkischeap (5/4), On The Blind Side (7/4), White Moon (13/2), Bob Mahler (8/1), Duke Debarry (16/1), Noruki (80/1), Bean Liath (100/1)
The step up in distance should suit ON THE BLIND SIDE and he is sure to have been well schooled since disappointing on chase debut earlier this season. The selection was a classy novice hurdler last season and can get the better of Talkischeap who has to concede weight to his main rival while third place can go to White Moon who contested a Listed event last time.
