Banana Joe (3/1), Thundersockssundae (4/1), Outisaid (9/2), Apple Mack (7/1), Just Go For It (9/1), Coachella Green (11/1), Minella Away (18/1), Achy Breaky Heart (18/1), Stitch Up (25/1), Full Spes (25/1), Gilwen Grayson (28/1), Tarrona (50/1)

Verdict

BANANA JOE didn't cut much ice for Ben Pauling but, having been second in a point in November, he returned to Rules with an encouraging third in a handicap hurdle starting out for Henry Daly, so he's worth a chance to build on that and take this open-looking race. Coachella Green and Gilwen Grayson also make the shortlist.

  1. BANANA JOE (IRE)
  2. COACHELLA GREEN (IRE)
  3. GILWEN GRAYSON
