Kevin's Pride (8/11), Big Dispute (9/2), Itsaworkinmaniam (6/1), Couldntmakeitup (7/1), Found A Diamond (8/1), Happy Me (17/2), Loyal Praetorian (14/1), Total Transparency (40/1), Kir Royal Blou (200/1)
KEVIN'S PRIDE has finished runner-up on each of his 4 starts in maiden hurdles but this looks a good opportunity to go one better. The form of Big Dispute's Killarney second has some substance, for all he had the run of the race on that occasion, and he may prove the main danger, while Happy Me has some questions to answer but could be in the mix if back to his best following a break.
