Cooper's Friend (10/3), Lou Vert (7/2), Dr Moloney (7/2), Amilliontimes (5/1), So Satisfied (11/2), Captain Hox (15/2)

DR MOLONEY ran well three times off higher marks here last summer and can put a couple of disappointing point-to-point efforts against decent opposition behind him by taking this 2m4f handicap chase. Amilliontimes was in good form last year and numbers a C&D win on his listed of chase successes while Lou Vert who has disappointed since joining this yard can claim third here.
