Champion Chase (9/4), Sulamani The Late (10/3), Londonia (6/1), Orion's Might (9/1), Mount Vesuvius (9/1), Moscow Me (10/1), Ujagar (10/1), Perfect Timing (14/1), Centreofexcellence (20/1), Osgood (33/1), Shrubland (50/1)

Dan Skelton saddles Sulamani The Late who has made the frame in similar company on his last two starts. This stiff track could be the making of him but he would make more appeal if his battling qualities were proven. Having shown signs of temperament in the past it may be wiser to side with LONDONIA with the champion jockey a significant booking by her trainer. She goes well fresh and the form of her Ffos Las victory, off 4lb lower, has worked out fine. Ujagar and Mount Vesuvius face stiffer tests than when winning minor contests whilst Champion Chase may do better now dropping in distance.
