Hard Iron (5/6), The Jad Factor (5/1), Benito (6/1), Economic Editor (8/1), Ardera Cross (14/1), Here Comes The Man (18/1), Wotsmyname (22/1), Keep Coming (40/1), Euchan Falls (66/1), Nordic Express (150/1)

The Nicky Richards yard couldn't be in much better order so his unexposed 6-y-o HARD IRON gets the verdict to supplement his C&D success just over a fortnight ago. Second choice is Benito, who was unlucky to bump into an improver at Carlisle last month, while Ardera Cross looks well handicapped to have a say reverted back over the smaller obstacles so he rounds off the shortlist.
