Braqueur D'Or (7/4), Rocklander (7/4), Keeper Hill (5/2), Ballycrystal (16/1)

Although flattered by his winning margin at Ludlow, Rocklander has to be taken very seriously here as he could do no more than win. He is open to improvement and is very much respected despite taking him on with BRAQUEUR D'OR, whose performance in the hurly burly of the Ladbrokes Trophy last time was very good in context and there may well be more to come from him. Keeper Hill has made a bright start over fences too and he should make this into a very competitive contest despite the minimal number of participants..
