Livin On Luco (10/11), Jackpot D'athou (6/5), Mistral Milly (11/2), Tigger (28/1), Barley Gin (100/1), Joker Jack (125/1), Love Of Neymore (200/1), Miss Popalong (200/1)
LIVIN ON LUCO possesses the best form on show so is taken to supplement his Chepstow victory at the chief expense of Jackpot d'Athou, who rates a major threat if getting back on the up after a break for a stable which has farmed this contest in recent years. Hurdling newcomer Barley Gin can't be ruled out either, especially if the market vibes are positive for Neil Mullholland's mare.
