Facile Vega (4/9), Irish Point (15/2), High Definition (9/1), Inthepocket (11/1), Il Etait Temps (14/1), Dark Raven (14/1), No Looking Back (33/1)

Facile Vega is evidently a hugely exciting prospect but if there's a fly in the ointment it could be in the shape of IRISH POINT, who has filled the runner-up position on both his outings in Grade 1 company over hurdles so far and Gordon Elliot's charge can go one better on this occasion. Second choice is the aforementioned Facile Vega, while High Definition adds another layer of intrigue in what promises to be a notably informative Brave Inca.
