Bond Broker (8/15), Mister Cessna (13/8), An Buachaill Rua (25/1), Farhh Echo (40/1), New Man (66/1), Cherryhawk (100/1)
French import MISTER CESSNA has been highly tried either side of his good C&D second to the promising Viyanni and this represents a golden opportunity for the 4-y-o to open his account on these shores. Bond Broker is the obvious danger in his bid to maintain his 100% record over hurdles but conceding 13 lb to the selection will be no easy feat. Point winner An Buachaill Rua is marginally preferred to Farhh Echo in the race for minor honours.
