High Court Cave (8/13), October Hill (11/2), North Winterfell (11/2), First Ascent (6/1), Sea Eagle (7/1), Imperial Miss (14/1), Tudorista (20/1), Scary Askari (20/1), Trixaboutmaisie (33/1), Boston Queen (50/1), Notmiwadi (80/1), Hello Yes (100/1), Mount Hotham (100/1), Owl's Delight (100/1), Wings Of Eve (150/1), Annie Grey (200/1)

HIGH COURT CAVE finished second in a strong handicap at Galway and may be able to defy the drop back in trip to get off the mark over hurdles. October Hill has been consistent in maiden hurdles and should give another good account, while North Winterfell improved from his debut when fourth at Down Royal and may benefit from this shorter distance. Of the rest, Tudorista may get back on track over hurdles, while First Ascent and Sea Eagle look interesting hurdle debutants
