Plus One (9/2), Muckle Roe (6/1), Ange Des Malberaux (7/1), Cadeau Du Bresil (7/1), Gardiners Hill (8/1), Maybe Plenty (8/1), Goodnight Charlie (9/1), Weststreet (11/1), Optimistic Bias (16/1), Newtown Lad (18/1), Global Dream (33/1), Oneida Tribe (40/1)

ANGE DES MALBERAUX was the subject of good market support when winning at Market Rasen last time out and she is taken to follow up with a victory in this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and she can see off her rivals here with Goodnight Charlie taken to finish runner-up having run well here last time. Third place can go the way of Muckle Roe who should appreciate the step back up in distance.
