Warriors Tale (9/2), O Maonlai (13/2), Gala Ball (7/1), Aqua Dude (7/1), Icing On The Cake (8/1), Walk In The Mill (10/1), No Buts (10/1), Ericht (10/1), Casino Markets (16/1), Grey Gold (16/1), Shadows Lengthen (25/1), Gurkha Brave (25/1), Ulck Du Lin (25/1), Ut Majeur Aulmes (33/1)

CASINO MARKETS ran well when finishing third behind a useful rival at Cheltenham over 2m when last seen in action in October. The selection should have no issues with the trip having won over 2m5f in the past and the ground should also suit here. O Maonlai has been contesting better races than this of late including Graded contests the last twice, this drop in grade looks likely to suit him and he can claim second ahead of Gala Ball who has his second start in handicap company in this.
