Sole Pretender (5/4), Darasso (10/3), Effernock Fizz (6/1), Band of Outlaws (6/1), Hearts Are Trumps (8/1), Magic Tricks (8/1), Modus (33/1), A Wave Of The Sea (33/1), Winter Escape (40/1)

SOLE PRETENDER was a non-stayer in the Champion Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown last time and, back at a more suitable distance, he should take the beating. Band of Outlaws is thriving and closely matched with the selection on form, so he and stablemate Darasso look the chief dangers.
