Spoils Of War (11/4), Too Many Chiefs (4/1), Reivers Lodge (11/2), Another Mattie (6/1), Secret Approach (15/2), Native Optimist (9/1), Chicoria (11/1), Royal Salute (16/1), Southsea Island (66/1)

Despite a poor run last time. it's hard to rule out Another Mattie bouncing back to form under ideal conditions, and he's likely to get his own way up front too. The others can't allow him too much rope or he could be away and gone. Reivers Lodge has an obvious chance of following up but with the ground likely to be testing, he does have a new question to answer. The advice is TOO MANY CHIEFS, definitely going the right way again this season and should be cherry-ripe fitness-wise now. Spoils Of War could plug on for a place.
