Looksnowtlikebrian (4/1), Bako De La Saulaie (9/2), Dauphine Ereine (9/2), Ballycross (6/1), Cooking Fat (13/2), Chef D'Oeuvre (8/1), Valadom (12/1), Blakemount (14/1), Morning Royalty (14/1), Yanmare (14/1), Harry The Viking (20/1), Lough Derg Jewel (20/1)

Very few of these have outstanding claims and last year’s winner Harry The Viking despite his advancing age should go well again for Rachel McDonald who knows his quirks well. C&D winner Blakemount looked to have needed his comeback run but really needs softer ground than this while Lough Derg Jewel will enjoy this quicker surface and is one for the shortlist. COOKING FAT ran well here last time over shorter despite being 10lb above his last winning mark looks the sort to enjoy this test. Bako De La Saulaie isn’t out of this but has proved expensive to follow over fences with Looksnowtlikebrian not discounted although his jumping remains a worry.
