Ballinlough Gale (16/5), Brandy Harbour (10/3), Little Mixup (7/1), Capture The Action (7/1), Queen Jane (15/2), The King Of Prs (10/1), Beeverstown Bullet (12/1), Call Me Rocky (20/1), Nemean (20/1), Galactic Grey (25/1), Anstand (25/1), Coolnacritta (25/1), Young Fitzy (28/1), Bal Kauto (28/1), Grace Shelby (33/1), Falvio (50/1), Ricky Langford (50/1), Gallaside (100/1)

It's possible a switch to the Gordon Elliott stable will see BALLINLOUGH GALE take a step forward so he's the suggestion. Capture The Action and Little Mixup arrive in winning form and head the many dangers. Tony Martin handicap hurdle newcomers Nemean and Falvio can be made to look well treated based on Flat form and would also merit consideration should the betting speak in their favour.
