Wild Hope (3/1), Broctune Red (7/2), Twisted Dreams (7/2), Kentuckyconnection (13/2), Chichester (15/2), Old News (11/1), Mikmak (14/1), Granite City Doc (25/1), Paddy Elliott (33/1), Club Wexford (50/1)

TWISTED DREAMS progressed throughout the autumn at this venue last year and is still relatively lightly raced. He should be able to continue his improvement here and can add to his tally. Kentuckyconnection is another course specialist that has to be taken seriously. Chichester is interesting on his first run for Keith Dalgleish and makes plenty of each-way appeal.
