Rubaud (2/1), Rare Edition (7/2), Iberico Lord (4/1), Father Of Jazz (13/2), Awaythelad (9/1), Mamoon Star (10/1), Throne Hall (18/1), Off To A Flyer (33/1), I Hope Star (80/1), He's A Latchico (100/1)

Verdict

An interesting opener. RARE EDITION won in taking style at Doncaster and is selected to extend his unbeaten record under Rules to 4 but there plenty of possible threats in a race long on potential. Nicky Henderson has a very good record in this contest so it would be no surprise to see Iberico Lord step up considerably on his opening effort over hurdles. Rubaud, who like the selection is already a dual winner over hurdles, and Dan Skelton's Father of Jazz also make the shortlist.

  1. RARE EDITION (IRE)
  2. IBERICO LORD (FR)
  3. RUBAUD (FR)
