Bells Of Stamford (3/1), Discko Des Plages (9/2), Shutthegate (11/2), Bonza Boy (15/2), Kingcormac (8/1), After The Fox (10/1), Treasure Dillon (10/1), Kap Chidley (16/1), Iron Horse (16/1), Faitque De L'Isle (16/1), Valirann Gold (18/1), Barnay (50/1), Est Illic (66/1), Tout Paris (100/1), Blackwater (125/1)

BELLS OF STAMFORD is less exposed than most here and has made a positive start over fences, so is taken to defy a 7 lb rise and follow up. Discko des Plages isn't one to trust implicitly but is on a very workable mark if able to complete this time, whilst Kingcormac had plenty in hand when winning at Hereford on his penultimate start and should also be in the mix.
