Telson Barley (10/11), Midnight Queen (9/4), Oliver's Island (9/2), Hero's Story (12/1), Millrose Bell (33/1)

Top weight TELSON BARLEY can handle this step up in distance to register a victory in the concluding novices' handicap hurdle. The selection ran well in a competitive event last time and can see off Midnight Queen who stays well and was the winner of her penultimate outing while third place can go to Oliver's Island who recorded his first victory when winning last time.
