Mercian Hymn (13/8), Torbellino (4/1), Ivynator (5/1), The First King (11/2), Mutarabby (9/1), Liberated Lad (10/1), Mardoof (33/1), Mindspin (33/1)

Verdict

MERCIAN HYMN relished the step up in trip when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and he's worth a chance to go in again with further improvement on the cards. Ivynator hasn't had a productive switch to hurdling recently, but he was a comfortable winner on his latest Flat outing, so he's also worth considering along with Torbellino.

  1. MERCIAN HYMN
  2. IVYNATOR (IRE)
