6/4

Absolutely thriving, and he completed a remarkable 7-timer in 19f novice chase at Catterick. Good second at Ludlow last time, so he's a player once more.

Dual winner last term but yet to hit top form in two runs this season, fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f) 18 days ago. More needed.

Fairly useful chaser who has been a good second on 4 of his 5 outings this term, including in 3m Ludlow handicap 30 days ago. Likely to go well once more.

Minella Trump (6/4), Smoking Gun (3/1), Marown (7/2), Guy (9/2), Amalfi Doug (16/1)

MINELLA TRUMP saw his winning spree finally come to an end at Ludlow but he's fancied to quickly get back on the up at the chief expense of Irish raider Smoking Gun, who is turned out quickly after coming down at the first in the Irish Grand National earlier in the week. The consistent Guy is another who can have a say.
