Thibault (13/8), Russian Rumour (2/1), Eagle's First (15/2), Cloudy Rose (9/1), Twilight Prince (14/1), Alkhattaaf (16/1), The Wire Flyer (18/1), Gleneaglet (33/1), Lady Ironside (150/1)

Verdict

A few of these arrive with question marks against them, and this looks a good opportunity for the fairly useful winning hurdler THIBAULT to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and open his account in this sphere. Russian Rumour is another who has been in good nick over hurdles and she is next on the list ahead of the returning Eagle's First.

  1. THIBAULT
  2. RUSSIAN RUMOUR (IRE)
  3. EAGLE'S FIRST
