Spirit Of Legend (5/2), Changing The Rules (4/1), Derrylinda (4/1), The Four Sixes (4/1), Carrig Rock (9/2), Landrake (7/1), Vera Verto (12/1), Killer Mode (12/1), Dovlator (18/1), Ottoman Style (18/1), Desert Friend (20/1), The Niffler (25/1), Global Export (40/1)

A tricky race to unravel but SPIRIT OF LEGEND is easily one of the least exposed and knuckled down well to make a winning hurdles debut at Navan (20f) 3 weeks ago, and with progressive anticipted for his leading yard, he shades the vote to follow up. Landrake is of a similar ilk and feared, along with Changing The Rules, The Four Sixes and Killer Mode.
