Cruz Control (30/100), Thistlebuffs (7/2), Nab Wood (7/2), God's Own Getaway (15/2), Delgany Dreamer (25/1), Percy Willis (28/1), Montmartin (33/1), Call Him Now (125/1), Belleloise (150/1), Iheardupainthouses (250/1)

An impressive winner on hurdles debut at Newcastle in December, CRUZ CONTROL jumped none too fluently and ultimately never figured at Grade 2 level at Cheltenham a month later. However, the return to calmer waters rates an obvious plus and he ought to play a lead role despite conceding weight all round. Thistlebuffs, on the back of his encouraging debut effort at Kelso, newcomer Nab Wood and God's Own Getaway head up the dangers.
