Bossman Jack (11/4), Ballyfad (11/4), Montemares (5/1), Soldier Reeves (15/2), Scorpio Rising (15/2), Charisma Cat (10/1), Masked Man (22/1), Lord Byron (28/1), Kosac D'oudairies (33/1), Came From Nowhere (33/1), Zanndabad (40/1), Onlyforfrankie (40/1), Rooster Crowing (40/1)

Verdict

BOSSMAN JACK improved further on his first start at the highest level when sixth in the Baring Bingham at Cheltenham and he is taken to resume winning ways with more still to offer at this trip. Gordon Elliott has landed this prize for the last 4 years so Ballyfad is well worth another chance, with Soldier Reeves also in the mix.

  1. BOSSMAN JACK
  2. BALLYFAD (IRE)
