Fakir D'Oudairies (15/8), Pic D'Orhy (4/1), Hitman (6/1), Millers Bank (13/2), French Dynamite (7/1), Fugitif (11/1), Minella Drama (14/1)
Aintree seems to bring out the best in FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES and Joseph O'Brien's 8-y-o can win this for the third successive season. Pic d'Orhy's winning run came to an end when second in the Ascot Chase in February but he finished 7 lengths in front of the selection that day so rates a huge threat. Hitman was an excellent third in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month and should be in the mix again having finished second in this last term.
