American Mike (1/6), Letsbeclearaboutit (7/2), Thunder Down Under (11/1), Cocoplum (40/1), Gill's Supreme (50/1), Wee Jerry (150/1), Yolande Court (200/1), Jimli's Glory (250/1)

AMERICAN MIKE is a super hurdling prospect for Gordon Elliott and can continue his yard's dominance in this maiden with victory, the longer trip sure to suit him. Letsbeclearaboutit has a 19-month absence to overcome but he too looked very classy in bumpers and has to be feared on his comeback.
