Thomas Hobson (1/1), Band of Outlaws (6/4), Tombstone (8/1), Plinth (12/1), Like An Open Book (33/1)

BAND OF OUTLAWS goes well after a break and if capable of showing the form that saw him win well at the Cheltenham Festival in March then he will be difficult to beat. Thomas Hobson is an interesting contender but whether he can win this type of contest after such a long break from hurdles remains to be seen. Plinth loves it around this track and will surely take advantage if either of the two leading selections fail to run their race.
