Benito (85/40), Floy Joy (3/1), Post No Bills (4/1), Teddy The Knight (11/1), Cheer's Delboy (14/1), Sevenofus (16/1), Bells Of Stamford (18/1), Brandy Cove (20/1), Ivy Avenue (22/1), Nostalgica (33/1), Blue Heather (33/1), Lightning Bug (50/1)

The vote goes to POST NO BILLS, who shaped with some encouragement when sixth on hurdles debut here in December. He has failed to build on that in two subsequent starts, but he wasn't knocked about at Catterick last time and better is expected now switched to handicap company. Floy Joy will be a danger to all if able to get back on track, while Benito also merits consideration and Ivy Avenue needs a second look in the betting.
