Clifton Warrior (1/1), Turkestan (7/2), Tudor Manor (5/1), Doyen Rose (15/2), Amazing Amy (12/1), Seegar (22/1), Windsor Diamond (40/1), Duffys Fortune (40/1), Florey Spud (50/1), Longhouse Force (150/1), Quare Stave (300/1)

CLIFTON WARRIOR made a pleasing start under Rules when fourth in a bumper for Shane Ryder and, having joined a top yard since, he's been found a cracking opportunity to make a winning hurdling debut in a weak affair. Turkestan has some fair hurdling form but he's no battler, so newcomer Amazing Amy might be the one to lay down the strongest challenge to the selection.
