Hatos (11/8), Hidor De Bersy (11/8), Lou Trek (8/1), Wandering West (10/1), Clear White Light (11/1), Amerdale (28/1), Baron Briggs (100/1), Eden Mill (125/1)

Verdict

HATOS justified support when making a winning hurdles bow at Chepstow in January and likely has more to offer yet. He can score again. Hidor de Bersy looks the obvious danger with Wandering West best of the remainder.
