Champagne Chaser (5/2), Burgess Dream (7/2), American Life (7/2), Lac Sacre (5/1), Allez Vic (6/1), The Mumper (14/1), Cotswold Road (20/1)

The two at the bottom of the handicap make the most appeal, with the nod just given to AMERICAN LIFE who looks to be slowly refinding some form and is on a good mark. Conditions look ideal for him and Burgess Dream , who may well appreciate the return to hurdles. Champagne Chaser can plug on best of the rest for third. Cotswold Road may be capable of better but can't be touched after a refusal last time. 1. American Life 2. Burgess Dream 3. Champagne Chaser
