Robinsfirth (10/3), Ballymalin (5/1), Chase The Spud (6/1), Henri Parry Morgan (6/1), Catamaran Du Seuil (7/1), Sir Ivan (7/1), Lessons In Milan (15/2), Cloudy Too (8/1), Baywing (9/1), Kaki De La Pree (12/1)

Another very competitive contest to bring down the curtain on a super card and ROBINSFIRTH gets the vote. Colin Tizzard's unexposed eight-year-old will need to jump better than he did at Cheltenham last time, but he acts with cut, stays well and the tongue strap could prove to be a very positive addition. Baywing has his conditions and could go well at a price, while Sir Ivan is also still going the right way and is respected. Lessons In Milan has to enter calculations along with Chase The Spud and Catamaran Du Seuil, while Henry Parri Morgan has also dropped to an attractive mark, though has not yet run to his best on ground this deep.
