King Alexander (15/8), So They Tell Me (11/4), Fortunedefortunata (5/1), Waittillitellyou (5/1), Where's Frankie (13/2), Attaboyarchie (8/1), Sir Bob (18/1), Walhaan (18/1), Carrig Sam (40/1)

Verdict

KING ALEXANDER disappointed on his final run for Nicky Henderson but he was generally progressive for that yard and can make a winning start for Willie Mullins. Fortunedefortunata and Waittillitellyou head the dangers.
