Whiskey Lullaby (13/8), Galon De Vauzelle (11/2), Kilbree Warrior (13/2), She's Commanche (15/2), Fizzlestick (10/1), My Uncas (11/1), Ballyadam Destiny (18/1), Outside The Door (20/1), Lean Araig (28/1), Steelers Appeal (28/1), Shakespeare's Word (33/1), Difficult Decision (40/1)

With several of these arriving with something to prove, this can go to WHISKEY LULLABY, who returned to action with a pleasing third on first start since leaving Paul Nicholls at Limerick last month. She's now witched back over the larger obstacles, and this looks a good opportunity for her. Fizzlestick may make a better chaser than hurdler so she's feared most, ahead of My Uncas.
