Divine Spear (8/11), Alzammaar (6/4), Valgor Du Ronceray (18/1), Ramonex (20/1), Top Cat Dj (250/1)
Barring accidents, effectively a match between the chasing newcomer Divine Spear and the race-fit ALZAMMAAR. The Nicky Henderson trained runner performed well over hurdles, including when beaten 3½L by Brio Conti in the 2m5f Silver Plate at Kempton in March. He will be rightly popular with Brian Hughes in the saddle for a yard that is 1 from 4 (25%) over jumps here since 1998. However, Alzammaar was an equally adept hurdler who has course hurdles form for his new handler Sam England, and has the all important advantage of chasing experience; albeit a slightly flattered short-head second to the aforementioned Brio Conti at Carlisle (2m4f) early last week.
