Fidelio Vallis (6/4), Rootless Tree (7/4), Does He Know (11/4), Sam I (11/2), Milkwood (6/1), Let's Getaway (10/1), Avoid De Master (20/1), Sastruga (20/1), Miss Mondito (33/1), Pillar Of Steel (40/1), Court Dancer (40/1), Illdoittomorrow (66/1), Miss Antipova (100/1), Clondaw Sam (100/1)

A fairly mixed bag with all bar four of these making their hurdling debuts. The best hurdles form is undoubtedly in the possession of Paul Nicholls French import Fidelio Vallis who finished second on his debut at Auteuil and he sets a good standard to aim at here. It won’t come as a surprise to see him win this but there are one or two interesting dark horses in contention not least Kim Bailey’s winning point-to-pointer DOES HE KNOW; the yard do well with this type and he’s chosen to make a winning debut. Bumper winners Milkwood and Rootless Tree are also of interest particularly the latter with Sam I also worth watching for any market support.
