Filey Bay (4/1), No Ordinary Joe (6/1), Hacker Des Places (7/1), Master Chewy (8/1), Rubaud (8/1), Aucunrisque (9/1), Teddy Blue (10/1), Monviel (12/1), Icare Allen (12/1), Highway One O Two (14/1), Deere Mark (14/1), Yorksea (20/1), Tritonic (20/1), Faivoir (25/1), Onemorefortheroad (33/1), Restitution (33/1), Glory And Fortune (33/1), Glorious Zoff (100/1)
Given that Nigel Twiston-Davies has won this 3 times with novices MASTER CHEWY catches the eye off bottom weight. His maiden status doesn't do him justice as he would have won at Ascot but for falling at the last and he's bumped into very promising sorts on his 2 outings since. Filey Bay, who has been purchased by J P McManus since scoring twice for this yard at the start of the winter, looks to have been laid out for this and is an obvious threat. Faivoir and Deere Mark are also shortlisted.
