Third Time Lucki (11/10), Flic Ou Voyou (3/1), On To Victory (9/2), Severance (10/1), Go Sacre Go (12/1), Il Re Di Nessuno (100/1)

An interesting novice despite the small field. ON TO VICTORY has had a solid autumn on the Flat having landed the November Handicap at Doncaster, so he makes plenty of appeal back over timber, especially now returned to shorter. Third Time Lucki remains a smart novice in the making after shaping better than the bare result in a Cheltenham Grade 2, with Severance and Flic Ou Voyou also respected.
