Daaris (2/1), Crystal Caves (9/4), Major Snugfit (13/2), Lochnaver (8/1), Purple Ice (17/2), Firebolt (10/1), Forlio (40/1), Bamboo Bay (50/1), Bateau Bay (150/1)
Preference is for MAJOR SNUGFIT, who has been in good form over hurdles this year and he performed with credit when fourth over C&D back in this sphere last month. He was a couple of places adrift of the runner-up, Daaris, that day but now meets that rival on 3 lb better terms. Daaris is respected nonetheless and cases can also be made for both Purple Ice and Lochnaver, but Crystal Caves could emerge as the main danger if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.
