Koi Dodville (11/8), Paddy The Horse (7/2), Caius Marcius (7/1), Ellaat (7/1), Malangen (12/1), For Three (14/1), Thomas Cranmer (16/1), Drumconnor Lad (22/1), Gaius (40/1)

Verdict

ELLAAT hasn't finished outside the first 3 in his last 6 outings over hurdles, winning 3 times, and can continue his good run of form. He produced a career best when scoring at Sedgefield last time and can follow up in his current mood. Koi Dodville won at Cheltenham earlier this month and is feared most, while Paddy The Horse is lightly raced and could have more progress to come on his third handicap start.

  1. ELLAAT
  2. KOI DODVILLE (FR)
  3. PADDY THE HORSE (IRE)
