Call Me Lord (7/2), Unowhatimeanharry (4/1), Sam Spinner (9/2), Agrapart (7/1), Paisley Park (8/1), Soul Emotion (9/1), Top Notch (10/1), The Mighty Don (16/1), Younevercall (20/1), West Approach (40/1), Garo De Juilley (100/1)
Although tackling 3m for the first time CALL ME LORD is confidently selected to stake his claims as a legitimate Stayers Hurdle contender by landing the spoils in this traditional pre-Christmas highlight. He could hardly have been more impressive when stepped up to 2m5½f at the end of last season and he looked every inch a stayer there so is expected to land this contest. Agrapart is preferred to Unowhatimeanharry having only been ½L behind that rival first time out despite conceding 4lb. Unexposed trio Paisley Park, Younevercall and Soul Emotion and defending champion Sam Spinner add to a truly mouth-watering race.
- Call Me Lord
- Agrapart
